If we are speaking in terms of the process of admission, then you must have a degree certificate that is valid and has an aggregate score of 60% or above. Other than that, having backlogs during graduation will not be a problem. For admission to NITIE, it is mandatory for you to appear in your GATE/CAT examinations.

The aggregate percentage of marks of 60% is relaxed by 5% for candidates in the SC/ST/PwD category.

If you have the minimum score to meet the eligibility criteria and have a clear reason for your backlogs then you will be granted admission. Apart from genuine reasons you will also have to be making a steady progression so the decision to grant admission is not regretted later.

Estimating average performance in a Group discussion or Interview round of a selection process can be a pretty difficult task until and unless the interviewer has told you, you are selected. It does happen to many people.

Based on the reviews of my friends at the institute, I will say that a score of 750 in the GATE examinations for the stream of Mechanical Engineering, with around 80% in past academics ( 10th, 12th, and graduation percentages) and a good Group discussion and Personal Interview would be enough to secure enrollment in the PGDIE courses at NIDIE.

You can refer to the Cutoff details of the PGDIE courses at NITIE (2021) mentioned below.

My brother scored 709 in last year’s Gate Examination and was eligible for admission into the PGDIE courses at NITIE. 

Some of my friends studied at NITIE Mumbai. They now know all the intricate details on how to face a GD and a PI round. Let me share some things they used to keep in mind. 

Tips for GD:

• Try to start the discussion. Give it a structure and then conclude it. 
• Remember that if you give it a structure, it should flow in the same direction. Though it can be a bit tricky.
• If you are not able to start the discussion, make sure that you give at least three distinct and strong points.
• When you state your point, try backing it up with facts and numbers. This will make you stand out among others.
• Stay updated with current affairs and trends.

Tips for PI:

• Read your CV thoroughly.
• Questions that you can expect from your CV are related to your work experience and your projects if any. 
• If you are a fresher, you can expect questions on your final year project, your favorite subject, etc.
• Since my friend was a mechanical engineer, he was asked questions on thermodynamics and a few on the composition of air.
• You can expect basic questions such as Why NITIE Mumbai or Why Supply Chain? Go through the basics of supply chain and operations management.

So, these are some of the things you need to be prepared for. Overall be honest, humble, and answer with confidence.

Here are the recent placement highlights for NITIE.

You have to decide whether this course will be right for you or not.

There is no fixed age limit to pursue the program. My sister did her PGDIE at 26 and she is now working at Amazon with a great CTC. As long as you are passionate about your career it doesn’t matter what your age is. However, before taking any decision, there are some important questions which you should consider:

• Know your future goals (professionally and personally) and how this program would help you to achieve them.
• Know your aspirations and be well aware of the opportunities you would get after completing the program.
• Does the program you chose to be recognized in the market where you want to make your career, as NITIE offers many specialized courses?
• Make sure that the ROI is good.
• Be well prepared if you lose your job and make sure you know how to tackle that situation.

Consider all the above points before selecting a particular course or college. NITIE is quite famous among recruiters. Their frequent participating companies include Amazon, Flipkart, GlaxoSmithKline, Abbott Healthcare, Amway, Google, Vodafone, Nestle, and many more.

No, it is not difficult but that depends on who you are asking.

You will get a call-up letter for the interview in your email ID. A care package will be sent to you consisting of expected topics and a number of other things. The topics for the GD round include current topics. 

Going through newspapers on a daily basis will also help. GD round goes on for around ten minutes and you will be given time to think and prepare your answers.

NITIE accepts GATE scores for PGDIE, PGDMM, and PGDPM courses. The GATE cutoff for NITIE varies each year depending on various factors such as category, students pools, etc. So, it’s difficult to predict the required GATE cutoff. 

NITIE relesed the GATE cutoff 2021 for PGDMM and PGDPM courses. It is as follows.

Going by this year’s cutoff trends it’s possible that you will get a call from NITIE. But in order to be selected for admission, you will need to do well in group discussion and personal interviews too.
