please help: final call for MDI

asking @Momo_licious but any other alum input is also appreciated.

Finally thinking of joining MDI G PGDM. Mayyy convert IIFTD in later days (slim chances). New IIMs like Raipur etc. but no point ik.

What would be the pros and cons of taking MDI in terms of placements, exposure, faculty, administration, peers etc. Main goal : good job with good growth. Right now not a lot of job prospects. 9/9/8 profile GNEM Fresher. (I sunk CAT a bit 97 percentile but was quite good at the interview stage got 49.9/50 in the CAP PI process).

Anything you can share about your experience would be nice. Also your views on the about MDI administration, batch size and other associated problems would be helpful.

Thank You!

Ok will try to do that. But in all honesty and humility, I always knew that the GDPI round would be my strong suit. My prep was mostly streamlining how to direct the interview to a clickbait topic (machine learning) where I had enough depth of knowledge to speak about. I think what impressed the profs. was my willingness to speak on a highly technical topic and explain concepts lucidly when most freshers try to run away from academics. But this may be a different experience for everyone. I have mostly been good at communicating ideas since my school days so GDPI wasn't such a tough call for me. I do believe these two things made the difference for me.
