MDI Gurgaon Admission FAQs

Short answers to what students ask before they apply.

Is there a minimum CAT percentile for an MDI interview call?▾
MDI prints no fixed cutoff for 2027. Its AICTE disclosure shows the CAT cutoff rose from 90 in 2023 to 94.5 in 2025. Your marks and work also change the shortlist, so aim as high as you can.
Does one MDI form let me apply to more than one programme?▾
Yes. You choose your MDI programmes on the same form and pay once. Rank them in the order you really want, since you get one offer.
Can I also apply to MDI Murshidabad on the same form?▾
Yes. Tick both campuses and you pay INR 3,590 in all instead of two separate fees. MDI Murshidabad is a different campus with its own selection.
Do I get points for work experience?▾
Yes. Work counts for 10% in both stages. Only full time, paid work after your degree counts, so keep your joining and relieving letters ready.
Can a fresher get into MDI Gurgaon?▾
Yes, for every two year programme except PGDM (IB), which asks for one year of work. Without work points, your CAT score and your marks matter even more.
Why does PGDM (IB) ask for a four year degree?▾
The partner school in France gives its own master's degree, and it accepts only students with four years of study after Class 12. If you hold a BA, B.Com or B.Sc of three years, you cannot apply.
What is the Behavioural Assessment Test?▾
It is one of the rounds MDI holds along with the WAT, GD and PI, and it counts for 5%. Answer honestly and calmly, because you cannot mug up for it.
How should I get ready for the WAT?▾
Practise writing 250 to 300 words on a current topic in 20 minutes. Make one clear point, give two examples and end with your view. Read the editorial page daily so you have ideas ready.
Where are the GD and PI rounds held?▾
MDI lists Bengaluru, Gurugram, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad and Mumbai, and says other cities are tentative. Pick the city you can reach easily, and book travel early.
What do the diversity points mean?▾
MDI gives small points for the subject of your degree, your gender, coming from the North East or J&K, and national level sports. Each is 2.5% in the final list, so you should not ignore them.
Which sports certificate counts at MDI?▾
Only national or international level competitions count. Bring the original certificate to the interview, along with a photocopy.
Does MDI have a management quota?▾
No. MDI says it has no management quota. You get a seat only through the same CAT, test and interview steps as everyone else.
Is the hostel compulsory in the two year PGDM?▾
The two year fee already includes boarding and lodging. So you should plan to live on campus, and budget for personal costs like travel and phone.
Who gets the tuition fee waiver?▾
MDI keeps up to 5% extra seats in each programme for the AICTE tuition fee waiver. It follows AICTE and MDI rules, which look at family income. Keep your fresh income certificate ready.
Who gets the merit cum means scholarship?▾
MDI gives 12 of them a year to good students from economically weaker families. Each one cuts your tuition fee by half. Ask the Admissions office how to apply once you get an offer.
When do I pay the later fee instalments?▾
For the 2027-29 batch, the third instalment of INR 13,06,405 is due from 1 to 15 May 2028. Plan your loan in parts so the money reaches MDI on time.
Can NRI and foreign students apply?▾
Yes. If you are an NRI or a foreign national, you pay a form fee of INR 8,496. Your two year fee is USD 38,668, paid in three parts.
Can I use an old CAT score?▾
No. The two year programmes take only CAT 2026. If you took CAT in an earlier year, you must take it again for this batch.
How do I choose between PGDM and PGDM (Business Analytics)?▾
Pick Business Analytics if you enjoy data, coding and numbers and want analytics jobs. Pick the PGDM if you want to keep marketing, finance and other paths open.
Who should pick PGDM (BFS)?▾
Pick it if you want to work in banks, insurance or investment firms. It goes deep into money and markets, so a liking for numbers helps.
Does PGDM (BM) take CAT 2026 only?▾
No. PGDM (BM) takes CAT or XAT from the last three years, or GMAT from the last five. So an older score can still work for you.
Is PPM only for government officers?▾
No. Group A officers can come through DoPT, but you can also apply on your own with five years of executive work and a CAT, XAT or GMAT score.
Where is the MDI Gurgaon campus?▾
The campus is on Mehrauli Road, Sukhrali, Gurugram 122007, in Haryana. Your offer letter tells you where and when to report.
How will MDI send me updates?▾
MDI writes to the email and phone number on your form and posts lists on its admission portal. Use an email you check daily, and log in often.
Is MDI Gurgaon approved and accredited?▾
Yes. AICTE approves its programmes, so your diploma is valid for jobs and higher study. The PGDM, PGDM (HRM) and PGDM (IB) hold NBA accreditation, and MDI also holds AACSB, AMBA and EQUIS.
Can an agent get me a seat at MDI?▾
No. MDI fills seats only through its own form and selection, and has no management quota. Anyone who asks for money for a seat is cheating you.
Whom do I call with a question about admission?▾
Call 0124 4560555 or 0124 4560666, or write to admissions@mdi.ac.in. Keep your form number ready.

What is the admission process and eligibility for the MDI Gurgaon?

Dishant VermaIIMA Alumnus

To get admission into Management Development Institute (MDI), the first step is to take the Common Admission Test (CAT) exam. You are eligible to write CAT if you have a recognized bachelor's degree (or professional degree like CA, CS, or ICWA) and have scored an aggregate of 50% (45% for SC/ST and PWD students). Even students in their final year of a bachelor's degree can write the CAT exam.

The admission process at MDI consists of two stages. In the first stage, candidates are shortlisted for interviews based on their CAT score. In the second stage, a Personal Interview (PI) is conducted, and the final selection list is made based on the CAT percentile, Personal Interview, and Application score, which includes X, XII, Academic Diversity, Gender Diversity, and Work Experience.

The weightage for the CAT score in the final selection is 55%, which means a good CAT score boosts the chances of getting selected for the MBA program at MDI. To help you prepare for CAT, MDI offers free resources that can help you understand their pedagogy better, such as three free CAT mocks, one test on each topic (VARC, DILR, Quant) every day, the formula PDFs for all Quant topics for CAT, around 25 solved previous papers of CAT, and a CAT Percentile Predictor.

If you are aspiring to get into MDI, it is important to score well in CAT and prepare well for the Personal Interview.

Can I be converted into MDI Gurgaon with 95 percentile in CAT 95 percentages in 10th and 12th and 80 in B Tech with an average GDPI round?

Harleen SethiMBA from Indian Institute of Management Sambalpur (Graduated 2020)

To start with, around 2,00,000 candidates appeared for the CAT exam. This means that for every percentile, there are about 2000 people.

Now, let's say that your percentile is 95, which implies that the 5 percentile is more than yours. In other words, approximately 10000 candidates have scored better than you in the CAT exam.

Suppose that 2000 candidates did not apply for MDI, which leaves us with 8000 candidates. Looking at your good scores in 10th, 12th, and graduation, you are better than at least 4000 candidates out of the remaining 8000.

So, the number of candidates left now is 4000. In comparison, IIMs and private/government colleges like SP Jain, FMS, etc., there are around 1500 and 1000 seats available, respectively, in the general category, taking BLACKIS seats into consideration.

Assuming that they all choose colleges other than MDI, the probable candidates left for MDI with profiles better than yours would be 4000-(1500+1000) = 1500. Now, the number of seats available in MDI is approximately 350.

Considering the average GDPI, the probability of your selection in MDI would be 350/1500 = .23333. So, you have a 23.3% chance of getting selected for MDI.

Can someone brief me with the profiles (academics/cat percentile/work ex) of the people that made it into MDI Gurgaon?

Avi GuptaStudied at Management Development Institute, Gurgaon

There is no specific profile that is able to make it into MDI Gurgaon. Some are able to make it into MDI even with the 94 percentile and some are not able to get even with the 98 percentile. It’s the personal interview and GD round that comes into play here. The ones with lower percentiles usually have exceptionally good communication skills. The ones that make it into MDI with high percentile usually have decent work experience and profile. 

But for MBA-IM there are many with mid-94–95 percentiles and decent profiles.

The conclusion is that you either need

  • High CAT score

Or

  • Excellent profile

Or

  • A very good GDPI score 

A rich blend of the three increases your chances of getting into MDI Gurgaon drastically.

How much percentile is required for admission in MDI, JBIMS or FMS?

Anisha MukhijaStudied at Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies

My answer does mention the required percentile for each of the B Schools you mentioned. But before I proceed I would like to shed light on the fact that the CAT percentile is not the only factor that determines your admission into a B School. There are other factors you need to work on like academic background, work experience, and GD-PI.

MDI

The college offers PGDM admissions on the basis of CAT and GMAT scores. The expected CAT percentile is around 93-95 and the GMAT score is 680+.

Apart from this, the candidates are expected to have above average academic records, work experience and WAT.

JBIMS 

The institute accepts CAT, MH-CET, and GMAT. The percentile cutoff for the General Category 

CAT: 95

MH-CET: 99.97

GMAT is accepted only for NRIs.

FMS Delhi

This institute is well known for its extremely low fees and the null weightage given to past academics. Thus admissions are based on the CAT percentile for which the cutoff is very high and GD-PI. The CAT percentile can be around 98.3

It is important to note that CAT should not be the only factor to consider while preparing for admission. Interview and GD rounds should also be given equal importance in addition to work experience.

What kind of profile is needed to get into FMS Delhi and MDI Gurgaon?

Girish Singh
Darshika TondonAdmission consultant in Pune. (2011–present)

Actually, there is no such thing as academic weightage in FMS, but MDI gives academics weightage. To get a call from MDI, you must score higher than 98.2x for FMS and 95.5x percentile.

FMS is part of Delhi University, and its tuition is significantly lower than that of MDI. FMS fees are around 20-21k, whereas MDI fees are around 28 lakhs, which is much higher than FMS. FMS and MDI both give sectional cutoff weightage. If your academics are strong, it will benefit MDI, but FMS does not give academics weightage.GDPI considers extracurricular activities, work experience, and any other achievement.
