Errrrr...sorry if I'm really late but, what is the mentorship program? I have a PGPM call but had no clue about this mentorship program...:confused:

A current student of MDI will act as a mentor to guide you. Any queries regarding the interview process, the campus life, etc, you can ask your mentor.

anurag12singh Says

I am sorry if I sound offensive, but isn't it a bit high handed on part of MDI to say that they won't entertain requests for change of dates of GD/PI as they are coming out with the dates so late themselves. I booked my SP Jain slot (26th March) today itself. And I have my IIML GD/PI scheduled on 28th March.And I have to got to Mumbai for my S P Jain interview. So out of the tentative strech (23 - 28 March), I am either travelling or attending an interview on 25th, 26th, 27th and 28th. So that leaves me just 2 days - 23rd and 24th. I think that MDI should be a bit flexible in their approach as they have been very late in coming out with their dates. (As a matter of fact, they are not out even now.)

dude even me facing the same problem..............25th Afternoon i have IIML ...... I thought at least MDI will be at the beginning of April......It would be very harsh of them not to consider adjusting our dates .....

Check out Mandevian - Home. It contains a PDF file that shows the mentor assigned to each candidate. You would receive a post containing the GD/PI dates. The dates will also be put up in the MDI website.

Errrrr...sorry if I'm really late but, what is the mentorship program? I have a PGPM call but had no clue about this mentorship program...:confused:

Can someone post the Link for GDΠ experiences for last year

puys

i have registered for the MENTOR SHIP program of MDI. but i haven't received an confirmation mail or anything of that sort. is it mandatory that we should register so that we can get to know or book the GD/PI slots. would we receive a confirmation mail regarding the dates for GD/PI??

i some of the seniors can share his/her views would be helpful

thanking in advance

will try to get tentative dates tomoro for each city..

Hi
I have been shortlisted for PGDM HR & PGDM IM Program. I am from Delhi. I am also shortlisted for SP Jain. Please let us know the dates for MDI GD/PI for Gurgaon.

Thanks for your assistance.

Cheers

Hi Seniors,

I have been short listed for NMP program at MDI. THe GD/PI is on 28th Feb. I have a few questions -
1. The letter says we need to bring original CAT score card, but I have not received the score card. Can I carry the print out of score card?
2. The prospectus says that first installment needs to be paid by 1 Mar. This is too early considering we have the GD/PI on 28th Feb. Can someone please confirm what is the date of submission of first installment of fees?
3. Do students of NMP have the same facilities as students of other courses? I'm not sure if NMP students can join the same alumni club. Also, the fee structure doesn't include some components like Student welfare activities, library fee, facility development charges etc. so can NMP students still access all the facilities?

If possible can some present NMP student reply to above queries.
Thanks
Surya

Sir/Madam,

Quite a few students who have been shortlisted for the GD/PI process have also been shortlisted for SPJIMR, Mumbai's selection process. The option of booking interview slots for SPJIMR begins tomorrow and is scheduled to be held in the second half of March. Hence there is a high probability of clash of interview dates for many a students with SPJIMR's interview dates.

If you could you kindly give us a tentative schedule for the GD/PI process at different centres it would help us avoid clash of interview dates and eliminate a lot of requests from students later on for rescheduling of interview dates.

Thanks and Regards,
Pavan Padekal,
Bangalore.


Lets see if it is of any use!

Seniors!

Please ignore if this turns out to be irritating!

If any of you could clarify with the admissions department citing the reason of clash of interview dates it would be a great help and service to many of us...

We dont need the exact dates as such...

If you could get us the tentative timelines for GD/PI process for particular cities
it would enable us to book slots for SPJIMR without having to leave this matter to fate/luck...:confused:


Particularly for Bangalore GD/PI centre junta SPJIMR tentative slots are 26-30 March and this will definitely result in clash of dates for atleast a few unfortunate souls with MDI dates...

MDI and SPJIMR being the best / only calls for many students this year this would be tragic atleast for me!

same as above......plz help....:)

shruti.koley Says

I know this question has already been put up. But posting it again for emphasis. Can the seniors let us know at least some range of dates when the gd/pi is likely to be scheduled. Because both spjain and mdi have their interviews in the 4rth week of March. And sp begins its slot booking tomorrow. Also they've specified that after we book those slots, request for changes won't be entertained. Dire situation. Seniors, please help.

Last year.....It was written on the GD/PI shortlist that GD/PI's will be conducted from the 2nd week of March

GD/PI Slots were Out on 19th of FEB........ and GD/PI's Started arnd 9th March(Bangalore being the first centre to be interviewed while Gurgaon was arnd the same date, Kolkata arnd 18-19th March)

This year..... GD/PI Shortlist says GD/PI will be conducted arnd 4th week of march.......

Considering GD/PI slots to be out somewhere arnd 1st march......and GD/PI's to start sumwhr arnd 21st March (as per last year when they had a gap of 20 days between date of slots and gd/pi).Aspirants frm Bangalore and Gurgaon should be getting dates arnd 21-28th March roughly...... while those from Kolkata should be getting their dates arnd 27th March........

PS: I am an aspirant and all these are mere speculations.....but can be of some help in light of last year info.

PPS: Seniors know as much as we do.

Hey, there has been quite a bit of talk about exchange programs for PGPM and PGIM, but I am just curious if there is any exchange program for PGHR. Now, I do know that the HR course had started only in 2004, but considering the very popular exchange programs for the other two courses, I would like to know whether PGHR also has some similar exchange programs. :xmas:

Also I would like to know how many students were placed in consulting profiles as opposed to (cost cutting/support function) profiles last year out of the total batch of 60 of PGHR. I specifically mean last year because this year with the economy slowdown, the numbers might reduce, but that would'nt be indicative of what we may face two years down the line. :

hello all...
admissions department told today that ....... interview center allocation list would be out by this weekend or max till next tuesday.....

this year there would be little strictness in interview venue change matter ...due to some complexities... only highly acceptable genuine excuses would be accepted ~!
try to presuade other institutes for change in date in the event of clashing of dates with MDI...

stay cool ~!

Sorry to bring this up again but any idea if they will be uploading the interview dates online soon? The S P Jain slot booking opens tomorrow and it would be really helpful if we had his info..

Seniors, if you could clarify this with the admissions department, would be really nice.. Thanks in advance..

someone please help me out here....

Dude...

Thats only for NMP candidates...There is no news for PGP, IM or HR candidates...

juz wait u ll get a letter in few days(Source: Same thrd)

Cheers....

hey can anyone pls help me out with this one....
at the MDI website, there is a link "Personal Details Form".
is it for everyone or kust for NMP self sponsored candidates.
also when are the interviews likely to take place in Mumbai??

someone please help me out here....

this is essentially a pgpim vis-a-vis pgpm question

the highlight of pgpim is its global exposure and a great oppurtunity to opt fr internships in europe.
Bt PGPM also provides option fr foreign exchange(including the ESCP-EAP).then why is PGIM seen as the course fr the Global exposure.Can a PGPM guy opting fr the foreign exchange opt fr the internship abroad.
Brochure mentions that one out of evry three opt fr the exchange.why is this?(becouse of personal disposition or due to limited oppurtunities).HOw difficult(or otherwise) is it to avail the exchange?

The basic difference between PGPM n PGIM is that PGPM is a specialised course where u specialise in say fin mark ops or strategy..wherein PGIM is a general management course wid no specialization wid one yr in europe...u do ur internship in europe...n abt internship for PGPM u need to do ur internship wherever u get it(college se to india me hogi) however if u opt to sit out n try for a internship on ur own I dont think college will have any objection to it...
n PGPM go for exchange again to get some global exposure..alost every1 who applies get thru..arnd 80 students from PGPM goes on exchange..so if u feel u want to go on exchange u can always get thru PGPM also..however if u want to do internship in europe than PGPIM is a better option...hope this helps..
cheers!!

:nervous::nervous::nervous:hii..
i hav an engineering background(without an impressive extracurricular record) n my cat percentile is 97.99....
well, i hav heard that mdi gives major weightage to percentile....
:confused:
reaalllly gettin nervous bout the GD/PI...
any tips would be of great help............................

Hii....

I am standin @ exactly the same juncture...from the same bacakgrnd and @ the same %ile...

Intially i was bit skeptical about my chnaces @MDI...Then i did some maths n m feelin good now..Here it goes...

Lets assume MDI still gives 2/3 weightage to CAT score...
rest 1/3 is given to things like acads, work ex, GD and PI u can't change anythin xcept ur GD/PI...

say a guy with good score be 99.5 and we stand @97.99 so a diff of about 1.5 %ile...

you can either count it as 1.5 only or convert to ( marks obtained/356 *100) == ur percentage score which will come about 5-7%...


So that means a guy @99.5 is ahead of you by max 7 marks...
Case I:
Considerin total marks to be 150 so all u need to do is cover 7 marks xtra in GD/PI...I believe u can do that 7/50...

Case II:
considerin total marks are 100 then u have to score 4 marks more in 33 marks...So 4/33 more than others....
This isin't that tough na....

So buckle up you(and me also) have all the more reason to work hard...

ATB..Cheers

Hey I have posted a query on Mandevian but i didn't see any reply coming dere even after 3 days. anyways my query goes here

My CAT scores are

OA- 98.85
DI - 91.00
QA - 98.50
VA - 97.00

work ex - 30 months till date
Acads - 78, 75, 71 in X, XII, B. Tech(ECE) resp.

I have all the 3 calls. I had not thought much b4 filling all the forms. I filled all of them for the sake of MDI brand. I want to know whether interviewers ask about which other MDI courses one has applied to. Can anyone be grilled on this.

And can u pls tell me what the CAT cut off was for PGPM last year for converted calls.

What r my chances for PGPM (m concerned coz I have no IIM calls)

Thanks,
Jasjit

Jasjit,

Apologies for the delayed response.
And, Congratulations on the calls! :-)

There is really no one way in which interviews can be conducted. There are separate processes for the 3 courses. However, there have been precedents of people being quizzed about their preferences and reasons for applying to other courses in an interview. This can be a way to assess the goal clarity of the candidate.
The key remains in trying & convincing the panelists while being completely honest, of course.

The CAT percentile for the final PGPM convert was about 98.5. This shall not have any bearing on this year's processes though.

Your chances of conversion shall be a function of multiple parameters. The ones in your control would be preparation for the final assessment round. So, give that your Best shot.

And, for all other aspirants, this is rather redundant, but Please do not waste time in trying to speculate dates for the processes. There usually isn't much time to prepare once the dates are out. We do understand the issues of scheduling & planning for other interviews. The dates shall be out soon.

Meanwhile, gear up for the Battle Royale. You're up against the Intellectual Creme De La Creme of the Nation!

Best Luck Everyone!

Hey Amit, thanks for the pointers.

Will it be possible for you to give an even more exact range at this point of time, for the INTERVIEW DATES AT GURGAON.

This is because many of us (like me) would have to book a slot for SPJAIN Interview (on/after March 22) from Feb 25. So, if you could tell a range like (March 25 - April 3, or something), for Interviews at GURGAON, after consulting the admn. dept., it will be really great!

Will look forward to your response.

Thanks and Regards..

Just to emphasize the importance of the interview dates....
There are plenty of people with both MDI and SPJIMR calls and there is a high probability of the dates clashing....

Seniors Kindly help at the earliest...

Please:xmas:

@passionhere,other seniors,

I have given my interview centre as Mumbai. Since I've moved to Bangalore now, I need to get it changed. Should I request for a change NOW i.e before the dates are sent out or LATER i.e after the dates are out ?

Hi shekys
As answered by amit earlier, last year change of venue was only allowed only to gurgaon. However you can still try. Call upthe office first to get
first hand info about this matter.

Dear Seniors/ Puys,

Does MDI come out with a second GD/PI shortlist, some guy told me it does...I am keeping my hopes alive...any chance for 96.89%ile....

Sorry friend.
No more gd/pi shortlists...

Hey, I may be way off on this one, but during my research on MDI, I was curious about three things:

- a random search for MDI alumni across PG, google, and linkedin, dont really throw up illustrious names; found it a bit strange since MDI has been there since 73 or something. Could you let me know some MDI alumni that have kicked ass in the corporate world?

- a basic sense of the foriegn placements/offers available to MDI PGPM; given that PGIM program has an internship in Europe, does it also attract international placements for PGIM batch and can PGPM also compete for it?

- role of CoEs in the PGPM curriculum and in general, available scope and opportunities for involvement with particular CoEs. ( I come from a research and consulting company, and was curious about a couple of CoEs)

hello.. first of all sorry for delay in answering as your post was last in that window so did not notice.... just saw it now
i will answer your three things :).....

1st .... MDI PGPM started in 1994 not in 1973.. before that it was spreading managements education to govt officials lke IAS, class- 1 officers ...and moreover MDI alumni network is very strong and well placed in corporate as well as govt offices ...as PGPM is just 15 year old so it will take just 5-6 years more when you will be hearing MDI grads names on news channel :)... during our alumni meet we interact with lots of very well placed alumni and their experiences ...and they have really done very well in corporate world till now... thats why MDI is known and respected in corporate sector .....:)

2nd
PGIM batch does it internship in europe and most of them get their PPO's there itself ... yes PGPM batch can also apply to any company visiting campus..

3rd.. by CoE .. you mean council of europe ? or consulting organisations?
we have a flexible curriculum which is based on industrial needs and it keeps on changing as per enviornment...

hope your three things are answered ... if not get back soon :)

stay cool !~

@veenu_spoof
you will know about the interview of nmp 09 by today evening ....

leave all this on us and you just prepare for your interview and GD PI process....:)

stay cool ~!

hi amit
everybdy is talking abt the 2 year crs i know that this is the thread abt 2 yr programme but even the website of MDI is talking abt only 2 yr courses does it mean that the MDI people donot care for their NMP programme

according to application advt NMP interviews wud be held in last week of feb that means hardly a week is left for the process to start but till now there is no list for NMP shortlisted candidates .

i had mailed to NMP chairman but no response so can u people at MDI tell wen r they planning to take the GD-PI for NMP batch


@ others
i also searched for the NMP threads but dint find even a single
the search only gives 2 yr prog threads so if anybdy knows abt some thread related to NMP then post it plz

Wrong post....

the most important topic this year would be " recession"
try to find out the cause and current problems faced globally and effect of it in major ecnomies ..:smile:

be cool :)

**********Recession - Cause and Current Problems*********

Just a Starter!! :xmas:

Recession: IMO Recession in one sentence is slowing down in economic activities which is attributed to reduced willingness of people in taking part in various transactions.

Cause of Recession: Subprime Crisis and its cascading effect on the globalised economy

What is Subprime Crisis and how it started?
Business model of Subprime: Subprime Lending deals (rather dealt) with lending to less credit worthy people (that's why the word "subprime") at higher interest rates. So, it's high risk high return business model.

pros: huge market place for subprime as Americans are credit maniacs (I read one article in NY Times that now a days financially broke people go for shopping expensive items on credits just to distress themselves, that's PAGALPAN in Indian standards, isn't it?)
cons: probability of sucessful loan closure goes down dramatically

How it all started? (taking a bit of contrarian stand here, which might spur few counter arguments)
US was experiencing Real Estate boom for a decade (till the crisis started) and the reason for this boom was excess liquidity in the market. This excess liquidity was due to the lowered interest rates by Fed.
So what led Fed to continually lower interest rates during boom time (unlike in India; in India RBI continuously kept on increasing interest rates to control liquidity)??

The reason could be the unprecedented Funding for Iraq War!! Iraq war started in 2003 and it overshot the initial budget (initial budget was $60 billion, but it shot to $500 billion. Some even say that it was A Trillion Dollar War). So, huge liquidity was one of the best ways available with US govt to get the funding for war (infact there were lot of Short Term borrowings in terms of T-Bills during that period).

So my line of thinking while discussing the cause for the Crisis is,
(Iraq War + Credit crazy Americans) --> need for funds by US govt --> attempt to keep liquidity high --> Subprime business model boom --> Global and local I-Banks jump into the tempting business of securitisation of subprime loans --> Liquidity Crunch --> No more money to pay the so called "EMIs" --> Increase in defaults --> property prices decline due to supply-demand mismatch --> Direct economic impact to I-Banks who securitised these loans

Current Problems!!
As the business of securitisation went deep into many tiers of Global Banking network, it caused tremendous cascading effect on the economic world.
Few of the many problems that Economies of various countries are facing now are:
1> Ironically the high liquidity that at one time triggered Global Economic Meltdown is now immediate answer to the issue in hand. Almost all economies are agrressively lowering interest rates to inject liquidity.
2> Huge decrease in demand in almost all sectors as now consumers are very reluctant to spend/invest money insanely.
3> Lowered international trades.
4> Increase in Risk Aversion. Thus, less people to burn their fingers in something new/risky.
5> And direct impact on people is Loss of Jobs.
