Question 1

What is the average package at MDI Murshidabad?

Accepted Answer

For Batch 2023-25 (final placement report published 23 October 2025), MDI Murshidabad closed at an average of ₹12.75 LPA with a median of ₹11.00 LPA across 180 students. The highest CTC was ₹20.00 LPA. The interim Batch 2024-26 disclosure is softer — ₹10.93 LPA average and ₹11.20 LPA median across 113 students placed so far — reflecting the broader macro pressure on next-tier private PGDMs. Final audited Batch 2024-26 numbers are expected later in 2026.

Question 2

What is the highest package at MDI Murshidabad?

Accepted Answer

The highest CTC in Batch 2023-25 was ₹20.00 LPA. The middle 60% of the cohort placed in the ₹10-13 LPA band — that's the realistic anchor for what most candidates can expect. The interim Batch 2024-26 highest sits at ₹15.00 LPA, which signals tighter top-end offers in the current cycle.

Question 3

How many companies recruit at MDI Murshidabad?

Accepted Answer

In Batch 2023-25, 98 recruiters hired across 180 students. 59 of these were first-time recruiters at MDI Murshidabad — a meaningful share signalling active pipeline expansion. 13 students secured PPO or PPI offers from their summer internships. The interim Batch 2024-26 has 86 recruiters so far (38 first-time) — the final number will be higher when the audited report ships.

Question 4

What is the CAT cutoff for MDI Murshidabad?

Accepted Answer

MDI Murshidabad uses CAT scores for shortlisting (IIMs play no role in the selection). For the general category, expect a CAT overall percentile around 80 with sectional minimums near 70 across VARC, DILR, QA. The institute also accepts XAT and GMAT — XAT-strong applicants who under-performed in CAT have a meaningful pathway here that MDI Gurgaon does not provide.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Four PGDM programs: PGDM (flagship), PGDM-HRM (Human Resource Management), PGDM-IB (International Business) and PGDM-Business Analytics. All four are AICTE-approved, NBA-accredited and AIU-recognised as MBA-equivalent. The Bloomberg Finance Lab on campus particularly complements the PGDM-BA cohort, which uses real-time data from the 4 Bloomberg terminals.

Question 6

How much is the MDI Murshidabad PGDM fee?

Accepted Answer

The PGDM fee for the 2026-28 cohort totals ₹16,45,940 across two years (Year 1: ₹8,12,670 and Year 2: ₹8,33,270).

Question 8

What is the Bloomberg Finance Lab?

Accepted Answer

MDI Murshidabad established a Bloomberg Finance Lab in December 2018, powered by 4 Bloomberg Terminals. The lab provides real-time data on equities, fixed income, commodities and currencies; portfolio tracking and risk analysis; and market news and research.

Access is open to students, faculty and researchers, with training provided for first-timers and prior booking required during peak hours.

Question 9

Is MDI Murshidabad the same as MDI Gurgaon?

Accepted Answer

No — they are separate institutes. MDI Murshidabad was established in 2014 as MDI Gurgaon's second campus. The Gurgaon mentor institution provides intellectual capital, teaching processes and academic rigour, but Murshidabad runs its own admissions, faculty, placement cycle and merit list. MDI Gurgaon is ranked NIRF #9 in Management 2025 — that ranking applies to Gurgaon only. MDI Murshidabad runs a separate, smaller-scale PGDM with its own placement profile (₹12.75 LPA average vs MDI Gurgaon's significantly higher numbers).

Question 10

What are the campus and hostel facilities at MDI Murshidabad?

Accepted Answer

The campus is at Kulori (Sakim-Katnai), P.O. Uttar Ramna, Murshidabad in West Bengal — a serene rural greenfield setting. Two hostels (Ekalavya and Bhagirathi) house all students in single-occupancy rooms with attached balcony, separate bath, wardrobe, study table and chair.
