MDI has moved ahead on the path of success since its inception, and is among the country's top B-Schools today. Well on its way to become a truly global B-School, MDI has linkages with leading business schools across the world. Over the years, our students have joined well renowned corporations and done their alma mater proud with exceptional performances and professional approach.
The students of MDI are handpicked from the pool of brightest minds that the country has to offer. Strict criteria and a stringent admission process ensure that only the best enter the hallowed portals of this venerable institute. This pool of raw talent is meticulously groomed and rigorously trained in all aspects of management- be it academics, extra-curricular activities, team dynamics or leadership skills. MDI students come from diverse backgrounds, which in itself help them to examine managerial issues from multiple perspectives. In addition, an environment conducive to new ideas and sharing of knowledge helps in the development of a spirit of co-operation among students.
The essential catalyst in the process of transformation of students is our highly accomplished and erudite faculty. Our faculty members are involved in teaching, consultancy, as well as pioneering research in key managerial areas. Many of them have taken up teaching assignments at MDI after twenty or thirty years of experience in senior positions in leading corporate houses in India. Several of them have multiple books and publications to their credit. As a consequence, they bring a rich combination of academic rigor as well as practical and industrial experience to the class room.
However, effective management in the present scenario demands more than just the requisite know-how to excel. What is needed additionally is exposure and experience. In line with this thought, MDI provides its students with an opportunity to explore beyond the borders and enrich their thought process through a rigorous academic process combining an exhaustive curriculum and cutting edge pedagogy. A plethora of live projects, guest lectures and mentorship programs give the managers-in-making at MDI a taste of application of theory in practice. The international student exchange program at MDI, one of the best in the country, also adds tremendously to this process. Each year, 2 out of every 3 students get an opportunity to spend a term abroad, helping them to develop a truly international perspective. At the same time international students from across the world visit our campus, which provides an invigorating learning environment to the students here.
Hence, MDI differentiates itself on four fronts - an industry-focused curriculum, global exposure, student driven activities and an expansive corporate interface ensuring management education in the true sense of the words. Two years at MDI equip our students with the skills, knowledge and analytical mind-set required to identify and solve problems, effective communication skills to communicate these solutions, and sufficient practical exposure to create action plans and implement these solutions.
