All MDI Gurgaon courses run under a private self-financing institute approved by AICTE for 2026-27. MDI is not a university, so it awards diplomas and not degrees.
The PGDM and PGDM-HRM pages say the Association of Indian Universities treats them as equal to an MBA. The MDI Gurgaon degree courses are really diplomas. So check the equivalence in writing if you plan a government job or a foreign visa.
No, there are no MDI Gurgaon UG courses and no BBA. All MDI Gurgaon PG courses need a bachelor's degree first. Class 10 and 12 marks count only for entry and for the shortlisting score.
