Should you pick the Management Development Programme at IMI Bhubaneswar?

This course suits working people who need one work skill in a few days and do not need a degree.

Pick it if:

You want a skill for your job soon: the 2024-25 calendar had 14 short MDPs, from Excel models to Lean Six Sigma.

You cannot take a long leave from work: most MDPs here last two days, and the people analytics one met on four Saturdays.

You work in HR or marketing and do not code: the people analytics MDP teaches Power BI, R and Python without writing any code.

Your company can pay for you: IMI takes the fee by bank transfer, so ask your HR team to nominate you and pay before the start.

Skip it if:

You want a new job through campus placement: the placement office works for the PGDM batch, so MDP participants get no placement help.

You need a degree or an AICTE approved diploma: the AICTE list here has only the PGDM, the online PGDM and the fellowship programme.

You want your dates fixed months ahead: the latest calendar on the site is for 2024-25, so the next dates are still estimates.

Counsellor's advice

If your company will pay, ask HR to nominate you as soon as the new calendar is out. If you pay yourself, mail the MDP office to confirm the fee before you book.

EDITOR'S NOTE

The MDP office decides on your role, not on marks. A one-line note on what you do at work helps more than a long CV.

In short

IMT Nagpur pays less on average and sits five places lower in NIRF. If you work in east India, IMI Bhubaneswar is the nearer pick for a short MDP; if you live near Nagpur, check its calendar too.

In short

BIM Trichy pays less on average and ranks two places lower. If you work in the south, compare its MDP topics with this list; if you are near Odisha, IMI Bhubaneswar saves you the travel.

In short

Rajagiri ranks three places higher, but its PGDM median pay is lower. If NIRF rank matters most to your company, look at Rajagiri; if the MDP topic matters most, pick the programme that fits your role.

In short

TSM ranks higher in NIRF, but its PGDM pay figures are lower. If your company asks for a ranked institute, both qualify; if you want a campus near Odisha, take IMI Bhubaneswar.

Fees and pay can change. Check each college site before you decide.

FAQs on IMI Bhubaneswar Management Development Programme

Straight answers to what people ask before they decide.

Is the IMI Bhubaneswar MDP worth the fee?▾

Yes, if you need one work skill fast. The listed fee is INR 5,000, or INR 5,900 with GST, and each programme lasts two to five days. Check that the topic matches your job before you pay, because the MDP gives you a skill, not a degree.

Will the MDP help me get a new job?▾

Not directly. The MDP has no campus placement, and the placement office works for the PGDM batch, whose Class of 2025 averaged INR 12.74 LPA. If a new job is your goal, look at the full-time PGDM instead and use the MDP to add a skill in your current role.

Who should take the MDP here?▾

Working managers, small business owners, HR and marketing staff, and faculty members gain the most. Each brochure names the people the programme is for. If your role matches that line, apply; if it does not, mail the MDP office before you register.

Who should skip this course?▾

Skip it if you want a degree, a diploma or campus placement. The MDP is not on the AICTE approved list, which has only the PGDM, the online PGDM and the fellowship programme. If you need a formal qualification, pick one of those instead.

Should I take the MDP or the online PGDM at IMI Bhubaneswar?▾

Take the MDP if you need one skill in a few days. Take the online PGDM if you want a full two-year diploma while you keep working. The online PGDM costs much more and needs far more time, so choose by your goal, not only by the fee.

Is the MDP good for a fresher with no job?▾

Mostly no. The brochures name middle and senior managers, business owners and faculty as the people each programme is for. The people analytics MDP also takes entry level staff. If you have no job yet, mail the MDP office before you pay.

Should I wait for the 2027 calendar before I plan?▾

Yes. The latest calendar on the site is for 2024-25, so the 2027 dates on this page are estimates. Watch the MDP page from Nov 2026 and register as soon as your topic is listed. Mail the MDP office if you need the dates earlier for leave.

Is the MDP good for faculty and research scholars?▾

Yes, several programmes are made for them. The 2024-25 calendar had a case writing workshop for management professors and a five-day course on research tools. If you are a PhD scholar, also look at the research methodology course IMI holds with ICSSR.

How do I get admission to the MDP?▾

There is no entrance exam. You or your company send your details to the MDP office at mdp@imibh.edu.in, and the office confirms your seat by mail. Then you pay the fee by bank transfer and report on campus on the first day.

Can my company pay the fee for me?▾

Yes. IMI holds open MDPs and also programmes made for one company. Ask your HR team to send your name and pay the fee by IMPS, NEFT or RTGS before the programme starts, then keep the payment details for your records.

Can I stay on campus during the MDP?▾

Yes, for residential programmes. The brochures list each programme as residential or non-residential, and the campus has AC rooms for MDP participants. Ask the MDP office if a room is free for your dates before you book travel.

Is there a scholarship for the MDP?▾

No scholarship is published for the MDP. The only way to not pay yourself is a company nomination, where your employer pays the full INR 5,000. Use the calculator above to see what is left for you to pay.
