Coming from a mechanical background, I can assure you that you will find a lot of opportunities in your desired field of interest. Your chances of getting placed with a manufacturing firm or an FMCG are higher.

If you get placed in a manufacturing firm or an FMCG or any e-commerce company, you will get jobs offering planning roles.

NITIE attracts a lot of consulting and manufacturing firms. To be honest, the only college where you will find manufacturing firms offering SCM roles is NITIE. In addition to that, NITIE is the best in providing roles related to demand planning, forecasting, and similar job profiles in an FMCG firm.

One of my friends recently appeared for the interview at NITIE and here is his experience in brief. 

The interview panel consists of 5 members. First, there was a general introduction round. Then they asked questions related to the concepts from his B. Tech branch.

If you have any work experience or internship then you will be asked questions about it. If not, questions related to your final year project will be asked. There will be small talks related to your hobbies, background, and other HR questions like why NITIE, etc.

To do well in the interview, improve your communication skills, revise some concepts from your B. Tech, and learn more about generic concepts. 

The placement scenario of NITIE Mumbai is excellent and the packages offered to the students of PGDIE are very good. According to the final placement report of 2021 of NITIE Mumbai, the highest job offers were from Consulting and IT sector with 44% of students getting placed.

The highest CTC offered was 44 LPA with an average package of 20.85 LPA. The average package offered to the top 10% of students is around 37.38 LPA and for the top 20% of the batch is around 32.92 LPA. 

These packages offered are generally higher than what is offered in other colleges and students get the opportunity to work in top companies in diverse job roles.

One of my friends has completed his PGDIE from NITIE and as a TA he has received 12400/- per month. 

• Not only PGDIE students but students from PGDMM and PFDPM also receive the stipend as a TA. 
• For receiving it the students are assigned a professor from the college only and the work for students will be on a project or any research paper. 
• The work will be decided by the professor allotted.Sometimes, the students also have to work over the tasks related to NITIE. 
• You won’t be pressurized for anything as you’ll be indulged in TA work. 
• There is a program named PGDIE. It is quite equal to M.Tech. The students of PGDIE enjoy the project for 6 months introduced by NITIE.

However, the stipend for 12400 is paid to the students to get themselves involved in the professors’ TAs work, but the students aren’t paid anything during summer internships. 

One of my friends graduated from NITIE and here are some things I got to know from him. 

Firstly, I don't think you should drop your job to pursue PGDIE in NITIE.

• NITIE is good for Supply Chain and Operations. But no matter how good it is, it will be nothing compared to a proper work experience.
• Having a friend who is a BPCL employee and an ISB graduate, I would say, in case you want to go for learning industrial management, BPCL would be a great place to be.
• However, if you want to pursue a generic MBA and change your field, probably you would like to try your hands on IIMs, ISB, or other top 10 institutes in India.
• A lot of MBA graduates from NITIE go to FMCG companies. But Supply Chain is not their main focus.
• Due to this sometimes one gets relegated to support function, and their growth in the detector is stunning. It will be difficult to get a business leadership role.

Be very clear about your development goals and why you want to do your MBA since it is only a path to achieve what you want. Generally, things start afresh during the tenure of an MBA. 

It all actually depends on your interest. As both of these options are completely different and two different areas of interest. You must choose what you find interesting. There would not be any conflict between these two institutes over the placement stats as both of them will give good placements to their students. Here are the recent placement highlights of the institutes.

If you are interested in tough work that is more challenging or research and development-oriented, you should choose IISc. As in the world of Nanoscience, IISc is the country’s most renowned institution. And if you are more inclined towards managerial work, then it would be better to go to NITIE.

If you are more inclined towards Mathematics and Research, then IIT will be a good option for you. You can end up working as a business analyst for an MNC.

In the PGDIE course of NITIE, you will come across management sectors rather than technical knowledge. You will also get acquainted with subjects such as Operations and Supply chain. 

• NITIE would be a fit for you if you want to pursue management in the future. It will help you in getting placed in the best FMCGs and a number of the most sought-after companies in India
• Management skills come into play if you want to pursue M.Tech from an IIT. The jobs that you will get after graduating from an IIT will be related to analytics and consulting. The salary from the core jobs is not much. 

The connection NITIE has with industries is far better than the IITs in the country and the fact that it is placed in Mumbai, the financial capital of the country, you will get lucrative opportunities to engage in work with the industries for weekend projects.

As some of my friends are related to the above-mentioned careers, I will give information on both PSU jobs and NITIE PGDIE so that you will get a basic idea and make the right choice.

PSU:

• All PSU jobs are different from each other. You will find different cultures in different departments. 
• PSU’s Oil marketing departments such as BPCL, IOCL, HPCL are in high demand. 
• Your life will also be smooth in these departments.
• NTPC offers jobs at remote locations but gives a good work-life balance. On the other hand, ONGC offers good pay. 
• Its transfer process is also smooth and runs on a 14 days on-off pattern, unlike other PSU jobs. 
• ONGC job location can also be remote.
• PSU jobs are for those who want a decent salary and want a smooth life.

NITIE:

• In NITIE you can complete your post-graduation and get placement in management. 
• It provides a great placement. 
• The highest package of 2020-21 is INR 35 LPA. 
• The opportunity is provided to GATE candidates by NITIE.
• Every top company such as Google, Flipkart, Amazon, ITC, Uber, BMW, Ola and more comes for placement as well as for internships. 
• You have to work hard while working for these big companies. 
• Your hard work will be rewarded with promotions and high pay. 
• In PSU you cannot get immediate promotion and you also don’t get much appreciation for your work.

Therefore, both PSU and NITIE have their own pros and cons. So, make a conscious decision before entering any field.

The decision of choosing the course depends upon you and according to your interest. Having to know some people studying in both these colleges, I might be able to give you some facts about them.

• Both the colleges have a good reputation in their respective fields. 
• If you want to get a good placement, then taking M.Tech in CSE would prove beneficial, as it will open your chance to get recruited by top tech giants like Microsoft and Facebook. 
• Doing M.Tech from a top-tier college would be good for your career.
• NITIE is known for its good managerial studies and is regarded as the best business school in India. It can help you to get opportunities in the field of management. 
• Being a management sector course PGDIE is really good. 
• NITIE offers very good placements. 
• NITE gives admission to students through the GATE examination which makes NITIE a good business school.
• Reputed software companies visit NITIE for recruitment.

Both the courses are equally good in terms of career. It depends upon your interest in what you want to choose; technical sector or management sector.
