NITIE Mumbai is not just for Mechanical Engineering students. The student crowd of this institute includes students from all engineering branches. So, if you clear the GATE cutoff, you can join NITIE, irrespective of your branch.
Mechanical Engineering students have an advantage as they study a subject called Industrial Engineering. But you don’t need to worry because NITIE courses cover the basics as well. So, you will get the chance to clear your concepts.
The college does not release cut-offs for the reserved categories. However, it can be predicted from the general cut-off.
The cut-off for the general category usually lies between 97 percentile- 98 percentile. So, the cut-off for OBC can be 90-92 percentile and for other categories, it can lie around 80.
Since you have not mentioned any particular course, here is the past trend for PGDIM and PGDISEM.
Program | Category | Overall Cut-off | Sectional Cut-off |
PGDIM | OBC | 87+ percentile | 75+ percentile |
PGDIM | SC/ST | 70+ percentile | 56+ percentile |
PGDISEM | OBC | 84+ percentile | 68+ percentile |
PGDISEM | SC/ST | 55+ percentile | 49+ percentile |
Note that these vary every year depending on the number of applications received.
Among these, NITIE Mumbai is the best institute for an MBA. It is considered the Mecca of Operations and SCM. The Ops and SCM job profiles offered at NITIE Mumbai placements are even better than the ones offered from these sectors at IIM ABCL. The final placement record for 2022 showed the average CTC is INR 24.51 LPA. Highest CTC offered this year was INR 49 LPA.
Locational benefits, a huge alumni base, and a stellar placement record are some of the other factors that work in favor of NITIE.
All three colleges are on top and choosing one among three is not easy. But I can give you some ideas about them as I have friends studying at these institutes. TISS is one of the most reputed colleges for HRM courses in the country. The top two institutes for HR programs are XLRI and 2nd is TISS. XLRI holds first place due to its history and huge batch size and placements.
NITIE and SOM are the top two colleges in India for operations and supply chain profiles with NITIE being the clear number 1.
So my preference order will be the following.
TISS (HR) > NITIE (Operations & SCM) > SJMSOM (Finance & others)
So, choose wisely based on your preferred domain. And in case you are interested in Marketing, both NITIE & SJMSOM are equally good.
It is suggested to fill up maximum programs in NITIE Mumbai. In the initial stage, most of the IIT and NIT are occupied by students who finally go to PSU’s. A lot of vacancies are created in these institutes; you just have to keep yourself updated with it and apply for it.
Lastly, students of the general category opting for Mechanical Engineering at NITIE Mumbai require a GATE score of 720-760 and above.
No, it is not difficult but that depends on who you are asking.
You will get a call-up letter for the interview in your email ID. A care package will be sent to you consisting of expected topics and a number of other things. The topics for the GD round include current topics.
Going through newspapers on a daily basis will also help. GD round goes on for around ten minutes and you will be given time to think and prepare your answers.
First of all, it is important to note about NITIE is that it is not an undergraduate School where seats are fixed for different branches. In fact, it is a professional Masters school which is referred to as the Mecca of Supply Chain Management.
One of my friends is enrolled in the PGDIM which is an MBA equivalent course. PGDISEM is also an MBA equivalent course here. It is just like any other MBA college, there is no such quota for any specific branch. You need to clear the selection process that is CAT followed by GD and PI.
Though in NITIE there are few MTech equivalent courses as well such as PGDIE, PGDMM, etc, and it takes admission through GATE.
If it's about the admission process where the score of 10th and 12th is taken into consideration then there's nothing known as a definite calculation, especially for the 10th and 12th marks.
Like most colleges, NITIE follows a decent distribution of the marks. The distribution is as follows:
Particulars | Weightage |
Entrance Exam | 25% |
GD / PI | 25% |
Graduation | 20% |
12th Exam | 20% |
10th Exam | 10% |
This is the following structure for the admission process by most colleges. The only point which can differ is the reservations. Rest everything remains the same.
IITB shortlists students based on their GATE cutoff score for IEOR M.Tech. Shortlisted students need to go through a written test and an interview as well for final selection. IEOR IITB GATE cutoff is 650+ for general category students.
If you want to pursue an MS from some renowned foreign university in Operations Research and Data Analysis domain, then IEOR IITB is a better choice.
If you want to work in the field of Supply Chain Management then NITIE PGDIE is a better option. The course offers cushy placements. NITIE PGDIE placements 2022 had a median CTC of around INR 19 LPA.
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.
