One of my cousins graduated from NITIE and a few people in his batch had a percentage around the 60s in their 12th boards. And you could find many too.

NITIE gives more weightage to your performance in GDPI rather than past academics at least for PGDIM and PGDISEM courses. You just need to score 97 percentile in CAT for getting a call. Then it all depends on your GD PI performance.

NITIE does consider academic scores in the selection process. However, you can compensate for your poor scores (if any) by performing well in GD and PI rounds.

In a nutshell, I can say that the emphasis on academic scores in NITIE selection criteria is lesser than that in IIMs and many other colleges.

One of my friends faced a similar situation as you and here are some tips for you regarding your question. My friend was placed in Maruti Suzuki after his graduation and then got selected in NITIE. He went with NITIE.

If you have a good academic profile i.e., good scores from 10th, 12th, B. Tech, and extracurriculars then you can directly go with NITIE.

If not then having one or two years of work experience may also help you in getting shortlists from the company on-campus placements.

One more thing you should be confident enough about is that you can convert to NITIE, Mumbai again if you want to have some work experience.

One of my friends is studying at NITIE, and as per his insights, both the programs are excellent. The final choice depends upon the area of your interest. Consider the following points before making the final choice.

• PGDPM concentrates on teaching project management along with functional areas like Finance, HR, and others. It is a strategic level course that creates professionals for every sector or industry.
• PGDMM is a course focusing on the manufacturing and operational part of a business. It builds skilled professional that is well-equipped with the latest technologies.
• As per the past placement statistics, the average package for PGDPM is INR 11.5 LPA, and for PGDMM is INR 10.8 LPA.

Apart from the above points, detailed information about the two programs is available on the institute webpage. You can compare the programs and make your final choice. Overall, the scope of both programs is high.

NITIE Mumbai offers 5 different post-graduate level programs of which only the Post Graduate Diploma in Industrial Engineering (PGDIE) program accepts a GATE score. There is no branch-specific cutoff for admission into this program of NITIE Mumbai. 

The approximate category-wise cutoff of GATE is given below for your reference.

As some of my friends studied at NITIE Mumbai, I got to know these few details about your query. To get a more elaborate description you can talk to ex-students of the college by interacting with them online. You can also visit the official website for more details.

NITIE Mumbai is the brand name for engineers targeting management courses in India. The institute offers various industrial management courses for students.

I have a friend studying PGDIM in NITIE Mumbai, and as per his insights, you do not get any advantage of being an Industrial Engineer in NITIE Mumbai, if you are focusing on PGDIM or PGDISEM. As it offers you an Industrial Management degree, having an Industrial Engineering does add anything to your profile. However, you may get an edge over other students if targeting M. Tech through the GATE exam.

Overall, in MBA from NITIE, an industrial engineer is on the same platform as other candidates. 

The minimum GATE score to get admission to NITIE is different every year, but it is generally between 700-750 for all the branches. However, if you belong to any reserved category, your cutoff score could be less than the General category. 

If your score is above the minimum score required, you will probably get a call for an interview. After receiving the call, you will have to appear for the GD-PI round. Your final selection and the allotment of the branch will depend upon your academic records and performance in the GD and PI round. 

Hence, the GATE score required to get admission in NITIE is generally very high above 750, but all this is worth it because the college offers very good facilities and placement opportunities to ita students.

I have a few friends from NITIE so I can give you some information regarding admission to the institute. It accepts GATE scores for PGDIE, PGDMM, and PDPM courses. They shortlist students for GD-PI based on their GATE scores. The required cutoff for GATE varies every year, due to many variables. Here are the cutoff trends for 2021.

The GD-PI round will have 60% weightage for your final selection and the remaining 40% will include your GATE score, academic records, and your work experience if you have any. 

Hence, the GATE cutoff for every branch in NITIE is the same but you will also have to perform very well in your GD/PI round to get admission. 

Yes, it is possible to join NITIE by any of the GATE examinations streams. Few of my friends got admission at NITIE through GATE. 

Admission to NITIE Mumbai through the GATE examinations from any stream of engineering will make you land up at NITIE in PGDIE – PG Diploma in Industrial Engineering.

There are two new courses available at NITIE, Mumbai: PGDPM – Project Management and PGDMM – Manufacturing Management. You can take admission to these courses through GATE too.

Coming to cut-offs, it varies from year to year. For this year the GATE cutoff score (general) was 609. If you feel you have a decent score and you'll get a GD, PI shortlist, and then you can convert it.
