My brother was enrolled in the PGDIE courses so I think I can give you the fees information.
The fee structure for the PGDIE courses at NITIE Mumbai is mentioned below:
Particulars | Amount |
Academic Fees | INR 6,60,000 |
Facilities Charge | INR 3,00,000 |
Student Welfare and Alumni Activities Charges | INR 1,33,000 |
Hostel Charge | INR 1,20,000 |
Deposits | INR 50,000 |
Total | INR 12,53,000 |
As per the policies of the institution, SC/ST candidates whose annual collective income of the family is below INR 4.5 lakh do not have to pay for the Academic charges. However, these students are required to pay all the other fees.
You can apply to NITIE if you are an engineer. There are two ways in which you can get into NITIE. Either through the CAT exam or through the GATE exam.
You can apply for PGDIM or PGDISEM if you are applying through the CAT exam. Otherwise, you can apply for PGDIE, PGDPM, or PGDMM course if are applying through GATE exam.
After clearing the criteria in exams you have to face PI and GD rounds to get into NITIE. You will get a call if you are shortlisted in the final merit list after the GD-PI round. You will get the detailed admission procedure on the official website.
You will receive a call from NITIE Mumbai based on your GATE score. You must have score 831 at the rank of 315.
The table represents the GATE cut off ranges of 2020 for PGDMM and PGDPM courses,
Category | GATE Score Range |
General | 609 |
OBC | 473 |
SC | 345 |
ST | 317 |
Physically Disabled | 473 |
Part of your admission will also depend upon whether or not you are performing well in the interview sessions and GDs. The interviews are usually held between 22nd to 24th April every year. Thus, you should book the tickets when you still can for both routes.
NITIE offers admission based on CAT and GATE scores. Having a few friends from the institute, I think I can answer this question. NITIE usually considers more on GATE scores rather than the marks. As it has been observed that the students come from a varied educational background and thus the marks obtained by the applicant varies a lot depending on their educational background.
For instance, the highest marks obtained by a mechanical student go up to 95 and above while that of electronics, it is around 80. Thus one can see the difference in marks of the students obtained in both of the streams. Thus, to neutralize this variation, the GATE score is considered.
For an open category student, a GATE score of 700 and above will get them a call from NITIE.
The most important thing you should know is which course will prove to be better for your career, rather than which is the best overall. As some of my friends are from NITIE Mumbai, I can give you a bit of information about PGDIE and PGDIM.
Therefore, it is suggested that you opt for the one that suits you the best. Ask yourself where your passion lies and will a management course or a technical course be beneficial for you.
I have friends who study at NITIE Mumbai, and these are the 5 different courses the institute offers:
Moreover, PGDIM and PGDISEM are equivalent to MBA and require you to appear in CAT exam to enroll in either of them.
Other than these few, PGDIE, PGDPM, and PGDMM are equivalent to M.Tech. The admissions are followed by considering the GATE scores which also helps make students eligible for the regular stipend provided by the government to several of these GATE qualifiers.
The minimum percentile to get admission in PGDISEM depends upon the number of applications received. In 2021, the cut-off for General was around 86, for OBC it was around 75 and for SC/ST it was 65.
The batch size is very small which is an advantage here. Only 44 seats are available for this program. The placement drives are quiet and relaxed compared to other branches and there are chances for every student to get shortlisted. Some companies hire students only from PGDISEM courses for certain roles such as EHS and sustainability and the average package offered is very good compared to other branches.
The percentile required to get admission in this course is definitely on the higher side, but the amount of facilities and freedom you get while pursuing this course is a big advantage over other courses.
One of my cousins is a recent graduate of NITIE Mumbai, from the PGDISEM, and through him I got to know a little bit about the program. The fact that you are a fresher will not matter much since the batch size is usually very small.
The major upside of the small batch size is that even top consulting firms, including KPMG, PWC, and others, choose recruiting freshers. The batch my cousin was in, had a majority of the freshers, including him.
Having said that, the freshers of his batch were recruited in companies such as Pepsico, Ultratech, Siemens, Asian Paint, PWC, BASF, Tata Steel. My cousin also secured placement in Aditya Birla Retail.
The tuition fee for PGDIE at NITIE is 3.69 lakhs for the first year and 3.41 lakhs for the second year. This fee structure consists of your Hostel rent and other academic fees excluding mess fees.
Here is the detailed fee structure for PGDIE at NITIE.
Particulars | Total Amount (INR) |
Academic Fees | 6,60,000 |
Facilities Charge | 3,00,000 |
Student Welfare and Alumni Activities Charges | 1,33,000 |
Hostel Charges | 1,20,000 |
Deposits | 50,000 |
Total | 12,53,000 |
Furthermore, students from the reserved category are exempted from payment of Academic charges whose annual family income is less than Rs. 4.5 lakhs but then they shall have to pay all other fees, charges, and deposits.
For the sponsored category the tuition fees are two times and all other charges remain the same.
One of my friends studied at NITIE Mumbai, so I might be able to help you with your question. Here are some facts that I gathered from him about the process.
The number of applications received by the institute determines the cutoff for each course. It is, however, based on the GATE score rather than the rank. This is due to the fact that it is an interdisciplinary course, which means that any engineering student can apply for it. GATE score is used instead of GATE rank to ensure that they are on the same platform.
The trend of increasing cutoffs can be seen as the number of applicants increases year after year. As a result, I recommend that you aim for an 800+ GATE score to be on the safe side.nitie
