NITIE is a great option for an MBA. It is the best college in the country to pursue post-graduation in Supply Chain and Operations. NITIE Mumbai placements are excellent. Almost all organizations in India recruit from NITIE for SCM-Ops. The institute offers good placements in Consulting, Strategy-Operations, Finance, Sales, IT/ITES, as well. HUL, Pepsico, Nestle, Deloitte, KPMG, Yes Bank, ICICI Bank, etc. are among the major recruiters that hire from the institute.
After FMS, it offers the best ROI in the country. The course fee is INR 13.43 Lakhs. While the average CTC offered by the institute is around INR 25.41 LPA. NITIE has a legacy of over 50 years and an excellent industry presence.
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.
Category | GATE Cutoff |
General | 609 |
OBC | 473 |
SC | 345 |
ST | 317 |
Physically Disabled | 473 |
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.
As per the trends of last few years, NITIE Mumbai GATE cutoff stays around 700, for general category students. A score of above 700, is likely to get you an interview call from NITIE. The cutoff is lower for students of other categories.
For final selection, NITIE considers GD-PI performance along with GATE score.
GATE score isn't only the factor that contributes to the admission process. The other factors include academics scores of 10th, 12th, graduation, and GD-PI rounds.
Two of my friends got admitted to NITIE. One among them was a general category with a 780 GATE score and the other secured a 765 score from the OBC category. It all depends on the cut-offs and waiting list conversion.
Along with the GATE scores, it's important to work hard for the group discussion and personal interview round. Also, wait for the waiting list as there can be a slight chance of selection in the waiting list.
NITIE is a renowned institute and is among the top institutes in this league. Candidates belonging to an engineering background are eligible for admission here. There are other criteria to meet which are as follows:
Your performance in GD and PI round influences your scores and chances of acceptance. It is after this process that the Merit List is issued with the names of the selected candidates.
As far as I know, if you have a score of 750 or higher, you will be contacted for an interview. For admission to NITIE, you have to pass the Group Discussion (GD) and Personal Interview (PI).
If you fall into one of the reserved categories, your required score will be lower in order to be called in for an interview.
NITIE Cutoff for GATE (Expected) –
Category | GATE Cutoff Scores |
General | 720 to 760 + |
OBC NCL | 550+ |
SC | 500+ |
ST | 420+ |
Placements for all courses are good in my opinion. You can also check out the official website for more specific information.
NITIE Mumbai happens to be my brother’s alma mater, so I think I can give you an idea about life at the institute.
Aside from that, two to three classes each day are required. Prepare for case studies and try to pass at least one for a bonus point on your CV (takes most of the time). Focus on your final results rather than doing 4-5 assignments (one assignment is enough).
NITIE has a beautiful pond and a lush green campus. Students usually enjoy the beauty of the campus in between classes, and they occasionally visit the pond after dinner.
Outside campus, like any other institution in India, there is a small corner shop called KASHI Snacks. From tea to food, this restaurant has everything for NITIE students. As a result, this is a site that is generally crowded with students.

The process includes cracking the CAT exam with a high percentile and acing the GDPI process after getting shortlisted. The final scores after aggregating the CAT and GDPI scores get calculated.

For the GDPI process, the topics can be abstract, technical, current affairs, or related to management. A few of the topics in the group discussion as per seniors are below.
These were the few topics. The topics are much simpler than the IIMs. Overall, the GD is comparatively easy to crack if you read the newspaper and track your surroundings.
