The institute released a list of provisional admissions for the 2009-11 Post Graduate Program in Management (PGPM) on April 21, 2009 which had mismatches between CAT registration numbers and names listed. What does this mean? A student called Rohan Mehra with a CAT registration number of 45678 would have seen the registration number of 45678 in the results but with another person’s name. The institute has currently withdrawn the list of provisional admissions from its official website.

aThere were discrepancies in the list. We will be releasing a new list in a few hours from now. The new list is being drawn up from scratch,a said a high placed admissions official on the condition of anonymity. In total, 450 students had been included in the provisional admissions list released by the institute. Students expecting a call from MDI are discussing the development on the PaGaLGuY forums.

This is the second instance of a top management institute mismanaging its final results this season, the other one being IIM Calcutta.

Update: An MDI admission official informed that the new list has been sent to MDI’s website operator and would be live latest by Wednesday morning.

Update (April 22, 2009, 5:15 PM): The institute has revised 2009-11 admissions results and released new lists for its post graduate programs in management. These lists are available on the MDI official website.
