@brullu You cannot bank only on the name of MDI. There is a very good chance that your prospective employer might know ESCP and not MDI. There are always exceptions though. I worked with a company with its Global HQ in Germany with one of its department HQs in Gurgaon. They naturally knew MDI ver...

@brullu Language proficiency, previous industry of work experience, intellect and social behaviour are some important characteristics of the Top for Europe. Like I said, the perception of a good candidate changes drastically once a student works in the International setting. There is no one thing...

The reason you can't find it on the placement report is because of an important reason. All International offers are sought by the students themselves, and not assisted by the Placement Committee. At least not yet, though things are likely to change soon.
Now you need to understand that since...

@shashankbapat23 The fee of PGPIM does not include any living expenses or visa expenses. It is purely tuition fee. Students have to bear their own expenses. In terms of the cost, it will depend on which campus is allotted out of Paris, Berlin, Madrid or Tourin. This is just a rough estimate but m...

@ashmole2009 ESCP students can opt for doing the dual degree, however whether they can sit for placements or not was yet to be decided and since the girl who put across this situation had later withdrawn her request, no official word was put out.

@ashmole2009 Hey I'm a senior from PGPIM-MEB track, feel free to ask here or PM.
The query that you have already posted needs to be verified by the authorities. Like you mentioned there has been just one person till now who had opted for the dual degree but she did not sit for placements. The ...

If you join in a course and the waitlist is moved, you will be offered a chance to take your first preference, there will also come a point when it will be officially announced that no further movement will be entertained, generally after all the seats have been taken and then if a student decide...

Hey,
It is true that your campuses will be allotted on the basis of your merit rank, however, Paris is the first allotted since most people choose it as their 1st preference. If your rank is good enough to qualify for Paris and if you list down your 1st preference as Berlin, you will surely ge...

[embedded image] Launched with much fanfare in 2006 as Indias first MBA comprising 50% international students, the Post Graduate Programme in International Management (PGP-IM) at the Management Development Institute (MDI), Gurgaon has been seeing a steady decline in the number of international students participating.

Foreign students on the decline at MDI Gurgaon: Are Indian b-schools ready to attract international students?

by Astha A in MDI Gurgaon, ESCP France, Attracting international students to India, India as a global education hub

Even as India's b-schools have begun contemplating attracting international students, the challenge of hosting foreign students is a lot tougher than it seems, as MDI Gurgaon has learnt in the process of running its PGP-IM programme comprising 50% Europeans.

geni7 @girish142: I assume you would have read all the comments on the thread. At the cost of repeating it, this is mainly a perspective on what PagalGuy thinks is happening here. If you were to personally speak to anyone who has enrolled in PGPIM they will tell you two things. 1) It is one of the most rigorous course 2) We're having the time of our lives Setting things straight, PGPIM is different in many senses and you are welcome to read all about it on our life @MDI thread (link: http://bit.ly/sO6vd4) or ask questions on our official notifications (link: http://bit.ly/vtZGnM). That would be a better place to address your doubts regarding the course. Personally speaking I study daily with the students quoted above and I know how they feel about being here. The above article has as a shock to me as well. Pity that they have no clue about this website how we use it, otherwise you would have spoken to them directly. They are going to be here till our term ends in February and we all, together, will be going to our respective ESCP campuses for the completion of our dual degree. P.S.- Cutoffs depend on the preferences given by the students, my batch has students who chose PGPIM over PGPM, but that shall remain a matter of personal choice.
