NITIE is nowhere compared to the new IIMs. NITIE and the new IIMs are entirely in a different league. It is reputed for its unique niche, i.e. Operations and Supply Chain Management. Most big FMCG companies prefer to recruit from NITIE. Here are some of the factors that make NITIE better than the new IIMs. 

1. Alumni Base: NITIE has a legacy of over 65 years. So, the alumni base of the institute is huge. Whereas, the new IIMs were established quite recently. 
2. Courses Offered: IIM offers general management courses, whereas NITIE is more known for its specialization in Industrial Management.There are other specializations at NITIE but the PGDIM course is its niche. 
3. Placements: NITIE offers one of the best ROIs in the country. Their average CTC is around 20 LPA, and the course fee is around 8 LPA. On the other hand, new IIM charges around 10 LPA, and their placements are nowhere near NITIE.
4. Brand Name: The new IIMs don’t have the same reputation as the old IIMs. But NITIE has an unparalleled recognition in the field of Supply Chain and Operations.
5. Case Studies: All major case studies of top B-Schools are opened in NITIE. The new IIMs are still trying to convince companies to open case studies. 
6. Location: Mumbai is home to most of the big corporate houses. Since NITIE is located in Mumbai, you will have plenty of placement opportunities. Most of the new IIMs are located in remote locations. 

So, for job profiles in Finance or Marketing, the new IIMs may be better. However, for Operations and SCM, NITIE is definitely better. 

NITIE is a very reputed and popular college of our country and it is among the top 20 colleges for MBA. Doing an MBA from this college will give you a better perspective of business. Here you will also get the chance to explore more options apart from civil engineering. 

• At NITIE, only engineers are applicable for admission in this course, so the competition will be very high. 
• This is a general management course, so you may or may not get a course in core companies.
• But if you want to stay connected to civil engineering, then you can choose NICMAR as its course structure is related to civil engineering. 
• The placement records of this college are very good as the companies visiting the campus for placements are of the same level as IIT Delhi and IIT Madras. 
• They also offer similar salary packages. 

Placement Statistics

Hence, NICMAR will be a very good option if you want to be in the field of civil engineering and want a decent job in this field. Placements in this college are excellent. But if you are interested in exploring more options then you can go for NITIE. 

Having to know some people from both these institutions, I can say that both of these colleges are specialized in two different fields. Let me share some facts about both these colleges I gathered by interacting with them.

• VJTI is one of the prominent engineering colleges and NITIE is prominent among the top B-schools of India. 
• NITIE is recognized for its extensive alumni and professional professors who are experts in their fields. 
• Project Management at NITIE, in terms of studies, is the best among the B-schools in the country.
• From Project Management at VJTI, 18% of the students are placed in prominent companies.
• NITIE is known for its high management extension.
• The placement and faculty of VJTI are not up to the mark when compared to NITIE.

Hence, there is no comparison between VJTI and NITIE. But one of my friends has recommended NITIE as in many aspects it manages to be better than VJTI. 

Jobs at PSUs win over PGDIE at NITIE. However, if you are a fresher and you have to choose one, let us look at both the jobs options one by one.

1. If you join NITIE, which offers techno-managerial roles, you will end up in the corporate world with lots of job varieties and offers. Even though NITIE is a center of excellence, no big offers are given to students. PGDIE is an industrial course offered by NITIE that does not add much value after 2 years.
2. On the other hand, PSUs provide you a settled life. However, during the initial years, it might be hectic but it varies from organization to organization. After few years of work, due to saturation employees try leaving the job. So, if you do not like saturation, you can opt for NITIE.

However, 99.99% of top 100 rankers in GATE either go for jobs at PSUs or opt to pursue M.Tech from institutions like IITs/ IISC. In fact, you will find this in any branch you look at. You can also check the GATE rank of persons joining NITIE.

You can definitely join NITIE as a fresher. You will have ample learning and placement opportunities at NITIE. 

NITIE has placements at par with any other B school in India. NITIE is one of very few B-schools that conduct separate lateral and common placement processes for experienced and fresher. Also, NITIE has a magnificent ROI.

In case your academic record is not good and you have no prior work experience then it’s better to join a job and prepare for next year’s CAT. You can’t improve your academics but this way, you can improve your overall profile. 

So, choose the option that suits you best. 

NITIE has one of the best B-school campuses in the country. It is known for Supply Chain and Operations Management. Alumni of NITIE is running the major firms of Supply Chains in the world. It has a very strong and widespread alumni network.

NITIE Mumbai is renowned for its program in Supply Chain and Operations Management. The alumni are currently part of significant firms across the world. The alumni base is both gigantic and spread across different parts of the world.

1. In terms of academic pressure, it is moderate and that can be a major upside as it will help you to take part in numerous case study competitions, learn more from several online courses, and even take out time for personal chores.
2. The course curriculum includes core subjects, alongside subjects such as accounting, economics, organizational behavior, and others. 
3. The students of NITIE Mumbai have been making a huge mark in several case study competitions typically organized by certain influential firms.
4. Various reputed companies visit for both summer internships and placements opportunities including Amazon, Flipkart, BMW, Shell, Hindustan Unilever, Maersk, Walmart, ITC, Uber, Ola, Deloitte, E&Y, KPMG, P&G, Nestle, J&J, Yes bank, Axis bank, ICICI Bank, Airtel, Johnson & Johnson, Asian Paints, Marico, Landmark group and others.
5. An average salary package ranging from INR 19 LPA - INR 20 LPA is offered. The highest, on the other hand, spikes up to INR 55 LPA.
6. Various students have secured PPOs during their internship period. Whereas, others typically obtain placement offers in the lateral and combined placement. 

Apart from this, the institute has a great ROI as the course fee for a whole 2 years is almost 8 Lakhs, which is typically less as opposed to various other top B-schools. It gives a chance of lesser concerns related to the reimbursement of loans once you begin earning after completion of the course. 

The placement scenario for PGDIE at NITIE is outstanding as a lot of reputed companies visit the campus during placements. These include Abbott, Aditya Birla, Tata Sky, Flipkart, Accenture, Exide, Cognizant, Grofers, Ola, Cloudtail, Myntra, Marico, Reliance, Airtel and many other companies. 

A total of 121 companies have visited the campus and the students have received around 130 pre-placement offers. The highest domestic package offered is 44 LPA and the average package offered is 20.85 LPA. 

Most of the companies take GD first and then personal interviews, but finance and consulting companies have a different approach. They shortlist the students based on their resumes and then take their interviews. They also take an aptitude test which requires having good knowledge of the subject and decent mathematical skills. 

If you have prepared hard enough to present yourself in the interviews, then you will surely get placed in a top company. You should know everything about your resume and should always answer the questions with confidence.
