How often can I visit home while pursuing a two year PGPM course at MDI Gurgaon?
MDI Gurgaon PGPM program is residential and requires its students to stay within campus 24/7. The reason is the unexpected guest lectures, extra classes, and various student activities that usually take place on Saturdays. So leaving the campus to visit your family is out of the question unless you want to miss all these activities.
While some of these activities are only optional, many are compulsory and might affect your placements and academics directly. Moreover, assignments and submissions are usually done on weekends as weekdays are too hectic. So if you are willing to travel home, you can manage to do so once or twice a month making sure none of these activities are affected.
