Hi all

This is a communication of placement process at MDI shared on MBA universe by the college. This was some time ago.This is not the latest situation.

We are very much happy with the curent placement scenario at MDI.
This is my last communication on this topic.

People not interetesd in MDI:Please move on and all the best for your future,
Let the real aspirants communicate with us.We have had enough of your so called intelligent analysis.

Warm regards

"The list of recruiting companies represents a mind-boggling array of the most reputed and respected corporate straddling almost all the sectors of the Indian economy: PSUs, banking, consulting, financial services, insurance and investment banking, FMCG, media, manufacturing, IT, pharmaceuticals, retail, telecom, education, infrastructure and SMEs.

Major recruiters for HR profiles were Ernst & Young, Tata Sons, Tata Steel, ICICI, ITC, Maruti Udyog, RPG, Glaxo SmithKline and Sharaf (Dubai). The PGPM and PGPIM recruiters included AIG, American Express, Axis Bank, Bharti, Vodafone, Citi Group, Essar, Glaxo SmithKline, Marico, Godrej, Mahindra & Mahindra, Baxter, Fortis, Goldman Sachs, ICRA, Procter and Gamble, Pepsi, Phillips, Reckitt Benckiser, SBI Capital, SEBI, Cognizant, Tata Group, IBM, Fresenius Kabi Oncology Ltd, Darashaw, Indus Towers and Efficio Consulting (London). Major PSUs recruiters were IOCL, GAIL, PGCIL, Bank of Baroda, IIFCL, IFCI, and SIDBI. Job profiles were Finance, Consulting, IT, Sales and Marketing, General Management and Operations.

On the salary packages offered to students in the first phase of placement, MDI says, "Given the fact that the placement process is still on, it will be premature to release the pay packages as of now. Nevertheless, the packages received up till now are on a scale that is satisfying considering the current economic scenario. The highest domestic salary has actually increased from last year, though the average salary has seen a dip of close to 10% as compared to the previous year in the first phase of placement."

While throwing light on the placement scenario, MDI says, "The institute has performed creditably not only on the face of economic meltdown and hiring slowdown by the top corporate firms but also in the wake of the challenge of a larger batch size as compared to the previous years. This year's figure has noticed an increase of 60% to the total graduating strengths.

Commenting on the highlights of the first phase of placement, MDI said, "The institute has made a strategic departure this year in keeping with the changed circumstances. It decided to conduct its placements in two phases. More than 80 companies have come to the campus to recruit and another 30 are slated to come, an increase from 64 that had come last year. The list of recruiters, in continuation with the trend in the last few years, burgeoned both in terms of number and their diversity."

"The numbers speak for themselves - more than 150 companies evinced interest in recruiting from the 183 students who had enrolled for the Post Graduate Program in Management (PGPM), 55 students enrolled in the Post Graduate program in Human Resource Management (PGP-HR) and 31 students enrolled in the Post Graduate Program in International Management (PGP-IM). Of these, 26 were placed in the lateral placement process and 24 accepted the Pre-placement offers extended to them. In keeping with the recent trend where management students have taken the entrepreneurial route, 16 students opted out to pursue their ambition of being wealth creator for the nation. More than 70% of the graduating batch has already been placed. Remaining students will be placed by the end of this month," says MDI.

While expressing satisfaction over the first phase of placement and speaking on the reform front, Mr. N K Singh, Chairman, MDI Board of Governors, says, "The committee set up for this purpose will reframe and redraw our education content in a way that it is relevant to the changing market needs and demands. I assure that MDI authorities will see to it that all the pass-outs are placed suitably at the earliest."

The following should be read with an open mind and analyzed well before hate mail starts flowing in :)


I think MDI is a very over hyped school. When the going was good, MDI was good. Now, not so much... And please, do not come up with the pseudo-adage 'It's bad for everyone'. Its times like these that filter out the innovators and winners from the stereotypes and the redundant ones..
....

I think this is an irrelevant post which adds no value to the aspirants..
Please ignore it..I assure you..MDI is the best thing that has happend to me..
personally..

But just to clear some smoke...here goes..

There are many other people who are better than me at MDI:
And since I can write my profile the best, here it is:

Graduate From Pune university: 2005 with distinction
International and National level Paper publications under my belt.
(including IEEE)
3 years of work Ex with a japanese technology giant.
Patent pending on my name.
State level badminton player.
UNESCO conference Co-ordinator
etc,etc

This is to say the least..
There are others who have a better CVs

Check out Sachinn Garg.. He has written a novel in his first year at MDI, & has recently launched it sucessfully.

Check out Zippify.. for budding entrepreneurs.

Check out Pratyush bhai on NDTV or CNBC..

Check out the faculty profiles on MDI site: Prof AP Arora, Prof Amit Kapoor, Prof Rajesh Pillania (this is just an indicative list...)

Check out our student managed Mutual fund Unnati..
Check out what happens in "illumnia" and imperium..

What MDI has given Me in the past 9 months:
Some of the best faculty to interact with in India..
A very good Summer internship (At RPG)
(By the way we are through with our summer placements..
Data will be coming soon)
A Class Rep position ...
A strategy student club membership
A great exchange program opportunity..
Opporunity to participate in top notch competitions..and win

And above all a very competitive environment where everyone wants to excel..

There will be people who will say XYZ things about every college based on perceptions alone..Just be sure..only the best manage to get through into MDI.

About Placements..Let the data come and you will get the answers..
As of now we are not supposed to disclose anything..

Just dont follow some stupid analysis and comparisons from people who dont have any understanding of what a b school life is all about..

I am sure other B schools have many great things to offer..but let me assure you..you will get every opprtunity at MDI..in fact the experience is just great.

Warm regards
Saket

@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.

Sir

Please let me know how many candidates in waitlisted in PGPM, PGPMHR AND PGPIM were accomodated last year. Your inputs on this would be highly valuable.

Hi sonal

Please dont address seniors as Sir :)
Its not in MDI culture.

Many juniors could be better perpared for life than the seniors.. :)
and offcourse with better qualifications..

Well getting back to your question:
PGPM waitlist had moved till 380.
Not sure about HR and IM courses..

Warm regards
