Admissions in PGDPM at NITIE accept GATE score followed by GD & PI. Here are few facts to keep in mind before pursuing the course:
One will surely benefit from taking this course.
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.
Category | GATE Cutoff |
General | 609 |
OBC | 473 |
SC | 345 |
ST | 317 |
Physically Disabled | 473 |
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.
Choosing the best institute for an operations management program depends on various factors such as the curriculum, faculty, location, placements, and overall reputation. It is recommended to research thoroughly about each institute, connect with alumni, and attend admission sessions to make an informed decision. However, NITIE is highly recommended for pursuing an operations specialization.
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 PI:
So, these are some of the things you need to be prepared for. Overall be honest, humble, and answer with confidence.
As one of my friends made it to the institution through CAT and is pursuing PGDIM, I might be able to help you with your question.
To get shortlisted for the programs at NITIE Mumbai, there are two exam options:
CAT
GATE
All the courses stand out because of their uniqueness. If placements are concerned, all these courses are the same. However, apart from these courses, PP and PM are two other courses that you can opt for with CAT scores. But, these are new courses and have poor placement records therefore, I would recommend not opt for these.
Both PGDIE and PGDIM are very good courses for a mechanical engineer, but the syllabus for both these courses is different.
PGDIE
PGDIM
Both the courses are very different from each other and now it depends on you in which field you are interested in. If you want to pursue a management course then go for PGDIM or if you want to be in the field of engineering, then you can choose PGDIE.
Your placements in NITIE Mumbai won’t be much affected if you have below 70% in 12th. Most recruiting companies usually consider MBA performance and graduation scores. If you maintain a good academic record during your MBA, you will have decent offers during NITIE placements. If you have industry-relevant skills and knowledge, your 12th score will not be a major obstacle during placements.
Having a few friends who graduated from NITIE, I think I can answer this question.
If you compare NITIE's fee structure among the top b schools of the country, it is still less than most of the institutes apart from the Faculty of Management Studies, New Delhi.
At the same time, the placements are quite good at NITIE. According to the recent placement highlights the average CTC offered at the institute is 20 LPA. So I would not claim that NITIE has the best Return On Investment (ROI) but it surely has a better ROI than most of the b schools.
NITIE has the second-best ROI after the Faculty of Management Studies. So choose accordingly and make a wise decision.
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:
Check some important statistics of PGDM at NITIE:
Particulars | NITIE PGDIE |
Fees | 11.33 lakhs |
Placement Rate | 100% |
Highest Package offered | 44 LPA |
Average Package offered | 20.85 LPA |
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.
Yes absolutely, people from CS & IT background do get placed in the supply chain department. My brother is a former student of NITIE and currently working as a Supply chain manager at Amazon.
As a matter of fact, if you look at the profiling of any batch, more than 60% of students are from IT background and most of the roles in NITIE are for supply chain management.
Moreover, companies are not distinct on this basis because not many students anyways have experience in the supply chain & secondly it's more based on knowledge you possess and how you present yourself on the day of the interview.
And most importantly, work experience is just one element of your overall profile. There are other elements like internships, Weekend projects, College grades, certifications completed and other achievements etc.
