It is definitely not necessary for you to have experience before pursuing PGDIE from NITIE. If you are getting any opportunity to pursue PGDIE just after your BTech degree then you should definitely join it.

Generally, most of the students prefer to do an MBA program after 2-3 years of work experience. And this is because most people don’t have a clear idea about their future and after working for years they realize the importance of management in the industry. So, whether you should join or not is up to you. Having working experience will definitely make your profile better. So, choose according to your convenience.

While talking about NITIE Mumbai there is no doubt how well the college is and how enormously it is known for its courses offered for MBA and its placement reports. 

It is doing really well in all its five courses offered. The students passing out from NITIE Mumbai are well skilled and flourished.

The academic history of a student matters while placements at NITIE for industrial engineering. It plays a key role in defining your skillset. This is the reason why weightage is given to your academics right from the time of admission. 

In addition to it, GD and Interview rounds are also held so that your academics do not solely define who you are.

Once you have made it into NITIE it is assured that you have the capability of making it huge. NITIE is doing really well in all its major fields and if you are hardworking and honest with your studies and work you will land on the best. 

Actually, there is no comparison between NITIE and IEOR. Choosing one of these two institutes depends on your inclinations and interests. 

• The PGDIE, MM or PM courses at NITIE are continued like an MBA program rather than an M.Tech program. In terms of course curriculum, there is less stress in NITIE, the projects are often taken lightly. The course curriculum has some basic management subjects such as accounts, HR and the rest is domain-specific. You will also have the option to choose some electives.
• At IEOR IITB, the course curriculum is not taken lightly. Here you will learn subjects such as optimization, supply chain, game theory, simulation techniques, system dynamics, Machine learning, deep learning, etc. There are a vast number of electives available. The course curriculum is mixed type, industry and research-oriented.
• Considering Social life, NITIE is a small institute. IITB, on the other hand, is huge. It has one of the best sports facilities in comparison to any technical institute in the country. There are some huge fests organized such as MoodI and Techfest. There are many other fests as well.
• In terms of placements, IEOR and NITIE both offer good placements. The students at IEOR candidates get placed in different kinds of organizations and job profiles such as Data analytics, machine learning, financial services, Core-optimization job profiles, supply chain management, and software engineer. The Jobs are of both type research and non-research. Students from NITIE are placed in FMCG for supply chain management, operations management, other supply chain management-related jobs, banks, etc.
• The average package offered at IEOR is about 12 LPA while at NITIE it is more than 20 LPA.

If you want a course like an MBA and want a job in that domain, NITIE is the place.

No, you do not necessarily need an IT Background to apply in Supply Chain Management (SCM) at NITIE. In fact, your previous work profile is quite independent. 

Students who have worked in the Manufacturing or Automobile sector may have a slight advantage over you. Otherwise, everyone is at the same level. Engineering branches like Mechanical, Electrical, and Civil also enjoy an advantage. Graduates from Electronics and CSE easily get through the Planning role.

Once admitted to NITIE, SCM will be taught to you in a very well manner and any company will offer you an SCM profile because of NITIE brand value.

You don’t compulsorily have to be from the IT sector for a planning profile in SCM during NITIE placements.

As one of my friends studied at NITIE Mumbai, I can say that the percentage of female students is lower than the male students. Well, the scenario is the same in almost all the Business Schools.

• Be it the top 15 Business schools, among the total strength of 240, the female students are around 20-25 only. 
• Well, sometimes there has been a case where female students, being less in number, have a good chance to get hired from the companies visiting the college. 
• Moreover, girls like any other student also have to work hard enough to score well and get placed. 
• They, though, get the benefit as they do not comprise the majority among all B-schools. 
• A student should have scored around 65% to fulfill the eligibility for filling the forms for on-campus placements. 
• Besides this, one shouldn’t worry or be proud of scoring less or more marks, respectively, as the companies don’t seek only academics but also personality. 

Thus, don’t be sad with your academic scores, just prepare yourself and work hard with dedication and confidence.

Definitely. According to some of my friends studying at NITIE, a lot of automobile companies visit the institute for internships as well as final placements. 

• The top recruiters include Maruti Suzuki, Tata Motors, Anand Group, BMW, Hero Motocorp, TVS Motors as well as Bajaj Motors.
• The manufacturing sector placements have a high salary of about INR 24 lakhs per annum. 
• Whereas the average salary is about INR 17.9 lakhs per annum.

You can also start networking with some of the alumni from the college who might be working in these companies to help you gain a clear idea about the same.

NITIE is a beautiful campus, and I would like to tell you that one of my friends who was in NITIE had the best two years of his life there. The curriculum is not very taxing, and you can seamlessly weave in that much-needed fun in your academic life, add it with good placement and you are good to go.

I am mentioning some of the advantages to you of studying in NITIE but it is not limited to these.

Better career opportunities:

• NITIE offers huge opportunities to enter the industries with high packages.
• NITIE is known as the “Mecca of Supply Chain in India”, many major organizations look towards NITIE for cross verticals requirements.

Return on investment:

• High return on investment has made engineering students looking towards NITIE.
• The ROI here is more than you can expect. 
• This is one of the reasons why many students opt for NITIE over even IIMs.

Check the following table for recent placement statistics at the institute: 

Location:

• Located in the city of dreams Mumbai, no doubt NITIE enjoys the location advantage – which leads to a closer and easier industry interaction. 
• It has a lush green campus which is breathtaking.
• The Campus possesses a beautiful pond with a walking circumference of close to 600m and is flanked by lush green gardens around the campus.

So, from this, you can conclude by yourself how beautiful the campus is and placement, on the other hand, are also really good. You won’t regret choosing NITIE over newer IIMs if any.

There are a few possible outcomes of this. These will come with many advantages and let me discuss them below with you:

Advantages in your course curriculum: There are very less instances where this might happen as subjects are taught extremely well, right from the basics. For example, classes like operation research, statistics for management courses.

• Project management was a course taken in the first year. But, if you have work experience, you will have a basic idea about the class and understand faster. Similarly, if you have industry experience, you will learn about concepts easily.
• Keep in mind that this does not mean that freshers are at a loss. You can always ask the teacher to elaborate on an answer. The teachers will also give real-life cases which will help you. They are all experts in their domain. They are seasoned experts who regularly train industry professionals.

Advantage during placements: In this case, both parties are of the opinion that the other is better off. But you should know that this is completely up to you and placement reports are usually a good mix of freshers and experienced students.

• Having experience will not give you an edge as everyone starts from the same line. Two of my batch mates, one with experience and one without, got offers from the same company – Cognizant.
• But, Flipkart was one of the few companies recruiting students who had experience range from 12 months to 4 to 5 years.

As a fresher, you might face a few challenges in the first month or two. But, be patient. This does not put you at a disadvantage for the next two years. Everyone gets an equal opportunity so there is no advantage or disadvantage as such.

At NITIE, you will have ample opportunities in the world of Finance. 

• NITIE has various case studies from reputed financial institutions, which will help you to interact with them. You can even receive job opportunities at these institutes.
• At the campus, you will get to interact with people who have cleared CFA levels 1&2. So, there are great opportunities for peer learning.
• Although faculties in this domain are limited they have good knowledge and will guide you with projects and your academics.
• Many reputed companies from the Finacial domain come to this campus for placement. You will receive good job profiles with cushy salaries.
• Many alumni of the institute are working in reputed financial firms. You will definitely have good networking opportunities.
• The institute is located in Mumbai, the finance capital of the country. The location grants you many opportunities. 

Although NITIE is known for operations and SCM, it does offer decent opportunities in the Finance domain too.
