MDI was ranked fifth by Business Today's "India's Best B-Schools 2019",[4]10th among management schools in India by the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) in 2020,[3] 3rd in India by Outlook India's Top 150 Private MBA Institutions" of 2020.[5] Three post graduate programmes have now been derecognised by AICTE. The AICTE's action has resulted in a significant reduction in the number of seats at MDI Gurgaon, reported the Indian Express on 25th July, 2020. The total number of seats has been reduced to 500. Previously the AICTE had approved 770 seats for the eight programmes which were offered at MDI Gurgaon.[6][7]

Reasons for the derecognition[8]:

According to the Indian Express, the AICTE took the decision to derecognise the three courses as MDI Gurgaon did not adhere to the guidelines laid down by the technical body with regard to the duration of the course.

As per the AICTE order, the approval for the postgraduate programs in public policy management and energy management was for two years while MDI Gurgaon was offering it as executive management programs for 15 months. On similar lines, AICTE had mandated that the duration of on-campus classes for the executive management program is 15-18 months, while the institute was running it for 12 months.

The Indian Express also reported that the public policy management program is for public officials of the central and state governments as well as for civil servants and, the energy management program is aimed to “prepare visionary leaders for the energy sector,” on the website of the institute it has been mentioned that working professionals and entrepreneurs could also take up executive management programme.

The institute had commenced the executive management programme in April and 20 students had already enrolled, says the report. In wake of the withdrawal of the approval of the programme, it is not very clear what will happen to those who had enrolled for the programme.
