JBIMS, Mumbai - Course & Fees Details

MDI Gurgaon’s PGP-IM Program is one of the most coveted Management courses of the institute. It has several features that distinguish it from other regular PGP courses offered at top B Schools. My brother opted for this course out of many and he listed the following reasons that compelled him to go for the program 

• The PGP-IM students of MDI Gurgaon are offered an MBA degree from ESCP Europe and this is a major turning point in steering their career globally.
• The admission criteria of the programs have witnessed slight changes with a work experience of 2 years being a compulsion. This is mainly because most European companies prefer prior work experience and hence it becomes easier to get jobs then.
• The work experience requirement has made IM students of MDI Gurgaon in demand for Consulting jobs globally as well as locally.
• The course is dynamic and requires you to go to respective ESCP campuses across London, Madrid, Paris, and Berlin for a 4-month term post which you do your internships, either in Europe or back in India.
• Getting internships is not difficult at all and almost everyone gets an internship easily. 60% of students take internships in Europe, and 40% take them in India.
• If you fail to get or yourself don’t take the PPO from your internship companies, you can sit for Final placements along with PGDM students without any bias.

It’s the above points that strongly assert the worth of the IM program at MDI Gurgaon. As it’s graduate you are not only an MDI alumnus but also an ESCP alumnus. You can use both brand names to your advantage. Choosing MDI is like investing for 2 years for a benefit of 30-35 years. So the brand name and alumni base definitely matter more than just a random IIM tag.

While considering the worth of any program you should consider 3 factors namely curriculum, peer learning, and profiles offered. Let’s discuss M.Sc Finance from JBIMS on the basis of the following factors

• Curriculum: The course structure is pretty good and the quality of knowledge one acquires is also decent. Experienced alumni are invited to hold sessions that explore corporate values. The teaching faculty is also learned and experienced.
• Peer group: Only 30 seats are available for this course so only the best and the cream students are selected. This is also why the peer crowd is extremely talented and there is cut-throat competition. Good peer learning enriched the overall experience of the program.
• Profiles: The placement opportunities are great at JBIMS and the alumni are always there to assist you. The profiles offered both in internships and placements are also decent. The students are encouraged to participate in competitions to upgrade their skills and gain exposure. Sharing the campus with MBA students adds up to the overall experience.
