Hi junta...
sorry for writing after a long time...
i have joined MDI (yes u can make out by my rank & logo)
the life is really cool here....
no... its not easy... but i bet anyone joining this great institute will certainly enjoy every moment!!
the love, the guidance, the support we get from our senior batch is really unmatched!!
i am waiting for my laptop to arrive... and then i'll be more frequent here!!
i'd request other people who have joined MDI to share ur views here and other junta can shower the questions (if any) to us!!

Love

hey prateek
can ya tell me what's the total cost of studying in MDI, Gurgaon(everything included except personal expenses)...
and yes, heard a lot about placements. i hope u can enlighten us about the ACTUAL figures there.. tell me the MEDIAN salary... and what about lateral placements there. what's the minimum experience they require for lateral placements... and during the GD n PI, do they look for guys with work ex...what % of ur friends have work ex, and what's the avg work ex there? which specialisation is the best in MDI,Gurgaon?
are the salaries different for freshers n work ex guys....what's the avg salary for freshers n those with work work ex?
hey,
i'll answer about the cost of studying at MDI .. the total cost for our batch was 4.3 Lakh rupees, this figure includes the mess charges and the hostel charges also. other charges would include some other charges for joining the clubs at MDI .. like we are finding out. it seems to be a little on the higher side but most of us are here on educational loans. as for the placement figures... i'll take a look at the official figures and try to post them here. as for life at MDI .. its way too cool. am back from a movie screening. and no .. prateek was not there.
There are about 40 guys having work-ex here. The max. being about 4 years as per my knowledge. The average would be about 1.5 years since there are lots who have resigned after working for less than a year.
Companies generally do not consider the work ex. if less than a year.
There has been a huge increase in the no. of girls( Incentive to join MDI 
)
The college is cool and having a hell of time out here. Everything rocks starting from the food to the campus to the activities.... Next two years are going to be one huge party!! ( with a lot of hard work also required..)
Post in incase you want any other info.

Hi Rahul
MDI is known for revealing the actual figures only (we do not inflate them)... so the figures reported are the actual figures...
regards lateral placements... in case u have a relevant work ex of more than about an year... u can expect a lateral placement...
the placement scenario of MDI is very good... this year the whole batch was placed in 6 hours flat...
while GD PI... work ex is an added advantage though... but seeing the %age of freshers in batch... u can be sure that freshers also get fair chance!!
i hope most of ur answers have been answered till now....
shoot in more!!

hey, how's SYSTEMS out there in MDI....n prateek, u still haven't told me the median salary
Err guys i know this might sound stupid........but what exactly is "median salary" and whats more imp......median salary or average salary.....when researching a college
Hey could anyone give me the email id of Mr Amit Kapur....he took my interview in Bombay this time.....so I needed some clarification from him.
Thanx!
hey ppl,
was thinkin of startin this thread long time back.. thanx for the initative prateek.. we r havin one helluva time at MDI. the lif is so cool.i never knew days were so long and sleepless nights cud be so enjoyable...
The lif is tuff...pre readings r a real headache.. lots to study...library has no vacant seats..(and it's a pretty big library)...
the cafe is always filled up till 2 at nite...the energy in this place never lets u sleep... sleepin is a luxury alrite but no one avails that.
i guess amit kapur's e mail is [email protected]
tho i am not sure... will lets u know in some time..
and yes MDI ROCKS..
dude, i went the other day to check my mail just for the heck of it at 4.30 at night .. and there were about 5 people in the cc checking out some stock market figures .. so mdi never sleeps .... something we are just learning. time to do the FA assignment 😁
Yup guys...
The FA assignment is something ! 3:00 a.m., and still no signs of completion in sight ! But am enjoying every moment of it, and wish more :)
Keep it coming guys ! We're ready for it and more !
After all, MDI Rocks !

hi dudes.........can anyone please post what was the cut off score in cat for a GD/PI call from rockin MDI .........
hey..mdians....
i know MDI rocks..in fact every tope b-school has the same atmosphere.
sleepless nights and stock analysis are the common....as far as i know.
i sound and sense this as a promotional campaign of MDI on net.
whatever mdi is a good B-school...and all respects to it...
come on dudes..there is still long time....to do all this...
ALL THE BEST TO U ALL.
sreejithcs Sayshi dudes.........can anyone please post what was the cut off score in cat for a GD/PI call from rockin MDI .........
The cutoff for MDI wasn't declared officially, but from the current batch profile, i can tell you that it would have been an overall percentile of 95 odd, with high percentiles in math and DI. Math : the minimum requirement is 90+. So, if you have an overall of 97 percentile, but 89 in math, you will NOT get a call from MDI.
Apart from this, your overall performance in GD/PI and a good profile also plays a huge role in converting this call... The current batch at MDI has one of the best profiles of students across India - varied across sectors, and in terms of amount and quality of work experience, and backgrounds...
Any other info required... shoot your question !
Samit.
Hi all,
Me too in MDI.. Posting after a long long time.... You all must be knowing why.
Anyway ... This is no College Propaganda going on... the thing that is happening is that MDI has far exceeded the expectations of everyone here till now... We all joined MDI thinking that this is the best option we have in our hand.We couldn't make it to A,B,C so better this one... But once in .. Trust me the environment is totally different... All the professors are a gem of themselves .. Almost all of the Profs are EX-IIM professors ( A , B , L just name it)... You got professors who go deliver Guest Lectures in Howard Business School 
... So Quality teaching is what I can assure you of....
Other than that the infrastructure is superb... Its half a corporate life with the campus filled with people running around with laptops , meeting one deadline after another.... giving presentations , giving surprise quizzes without studying anything coz last night we were discussing the performance of the pharma industry in India pre budget and Post budget.... Sometimes it becomes difficult to believe that 15 days back I was so ignorant to such a repository of knowledge....
I agree to what one of my friends out here said... that the Hostel Life is basically same every where (all premier B Schools).... More or less yes.... Obviously the pressure, stress is what makes managers out of juveniles..... So no denying the fact..
Will keep all of you updated with the developments out here. Till then chillllll.
I guess the best part of MDI is all the student driven initiatives. With none of the activities being sponspored by the college, the students actually run around for getting things done. Get a wide exposure to various facets...

Qwezark
ok guys .. i think there is a serious problem ... i have no clue about who is who .. sammysosa is samit who is like two rooms next to mine and then i knew who qwezark was ( is it Raj?) and then i dont know who calvin is and then i also dont know who strike high is ... i obviously know them in college .. but these PG avtaars really get me mad. we must have a PG club at MDI soon.
and as for the promotional campaign part ... all i can say is that MDI speaks for itself
