MDI Gurgaon Cutoff 2026 FAQs
What is the MDI Gurgaon cutoff 2026?
The MDI Gurgaon cutoff 2026 for General category candidates is expected to be 95 to 97 overall percentile for the core PGDM and 93 to 95 percentile for the specialised programmes. MDI does not publish an official cutoff and does not set strict sectional cutoffs, so these are expected ranges based on past trends.
What is the MDI Gurgaon cutoff for OBC?
MDI does not publish an official category-wise cutoff. All candidates go through the same two-stage selection process.
What is the MDI Gurgaon cutoff for GEM candidates?
GEM stands for General Engineer Male. Stage I and Stage II give weightage to academic diversity (Engineer / Non-Engineer) and gender diversity, so GEM candidates have no diversity advantage and generally need a higher percentile than other profiles. MDI does not publish a separate cutoff for this group.
What is the MDI Gurgaon cutoff for XAT?
MDI does not publish an XAT cutoff. XAT is accepted only for the executive programmes, PGDM-BM and PGDM-BA (Executive Business Administration). The full-time PGDM, PGDM-HRM, PGDM-Business Analytics and PGDM-BFS programmes accept only CAT. PGDM-IB accepts CAT or GMAT.
Does meeting the MDI Gurgaon cutoff guarantee admission?
No. Meeting the cutoff does not guarantee even a Stage I shortlisting call. Final selection depends on the composite score across CAT (35%), Personal Interview (20%), Group Discussion (10%), Work Experience (10%), Graduation (5%), WAT (5%), Behavioural Assessment Test (5%) and diversity factors such as academic, gender and regional diversity and sports. A strong overall profile improves your chances.
