NITIE accepts GATE scores for PGDIE, PGDMM, and PGDPM courses. The GATE cutoff for NITIE varies each year depending on various factors such as category, students pools, etc. So, it’s difficult to predict the required GATE cutoff. 

NITIE relesed the GATE cutoff 2021 for PGDMM and PGDPM courses. It is as follows.

Going by this year’s cutoff trends it’s possible that you will get a call from NITIE. But in order to be selected for admission, you will need to do well in group discussion and personal interviews too. 

GATE score isn't only the factor that contributes to the admission process. The other factors include academics scores of 10th, 12th, graduation, and GD-PI rounds. 

Two of my friends got admitted to NITIE. One among them was a general category with a 780 GATE score and the other secured a 765 score from the OBC category. It all depends on the cut-offs and waiting list conversion. 

Along with the GATE scores, it's important to work hard for the group discussion and personal interview round. Also, wait for the waiting list as there can be a slight chance of selection in the waiting list. 

NITIE is a renowned institute and is among the top institutes in this league. Candidates belonging to an engineering background are eligible for admission here. There are other criteria to meet which are as follows:

• A minimum of 60% marks in 10th, 12th, and graduation should be secured if you belong to the general category and 55% marks for backward castes.
• For PGDIM, 97.5 percentile in CAT is required for the general category. However, the CAT percentile is extremely low for backward castes.
• The GATE cut-off for PGDIE is different over the branches. A score of 609 and above in GATE makes it certain for a callback.
• Once shortlisted, you will receive a call for Group Discussion and Personal Interviews. The PI is headed by a team of experienced professors who inquire about your background, academic education, technical knowledge, and other general awareness fields. 

Your performance in GD and PI round influences your scores and chances of acceptance. It is after this process that the Merit List is issued with the names of the selected candidates.

As far as I know, if you have a score of 750 or higher, you will be contacted for an interview. For admission to NITIE, you have to pass the Group Discussion (GD) and Personal Interview (PI).

If you fall into one of the reserved categories, your required score will be lower in order to be called in for an interview.

NITIE Cutoff for GATE (Expected) –

Placements for all courses are good in my opinion. You can also check out the official website for more specific information.

NITIE Mumbai happens to be my brother’s alma mater, so I think I can give you an idea about life at the institute.

• Pre-Summers: 4–5 lessons each day at most. Summer assignments and preparation. Again, there are a lot of GDs to prepare for the summer. You have to study on your own. 
• Post-Summer: Relaxed schedule. There are no more than 4–5 lessons. There are numerous activities on the playground. There will be no issues with preparation and a tight timeline. During the week, you can hang out with your friends. On weekends, the hostel is almost completely empty.
• Internships: During the internship, you will be busy with work. 

Aside from that, two to three classes each day are required. Prepare for case studies and try to pass at least one for a bonus point on your CV (takes most of the time). Focus on your final results rather than doing 4-5 assignments (one assignment is enough).

NITIE has a beautiful pond and a lush green campus. Students usually enjoy the beauty of the campus in between classes, and they occasionally visit the pond after dinner.

Outside campus, like any other institution in India, there is a small corner shop called KASHI Snacks. From tea to food, this restaurant has everything for NITIE students. As a result, this is a site that is generally crowded with students.

Pursuing PGDISEM from NITIE is not a risk. NITIE Mumbai is counted as one of the most enormous colleges in MBA. It is among the top B-Schools in Mumbai such as TISS, NMIMS, and JBIMS.

PGDISEM has overall 39 seats, out of which 15 are reserved for industry-sponsored candidates. The remaining 24 seats are filled through CAT scores. In the previous batch, there were only 13 students, out of which two opted out from the placement process. It is why only 11 students were placed.

The placement statistics for PGDISEM are as follows:

The latest batch has only 16 students and this is the following summer placement Statistics. The highest stipend offered is 1.80 Lakhs while the average stipend is 1.35 lakhs.

You can get a little estimation of PGDISEM's demand in the industry. Whosoever said about safety or environment management, sustainability, or CSR to not have a future, needs to start reading.

As there are many competitors, admission is tough. But only the cream students get the admission letter. The process includes cracking the CAT exam with a high percentile and acing the GDPI process after getting shortlisted. The final scores after aggregating the CAT and GDPI scores get calculated. The top highest scorers as per seat matrix are offered admission.

For the GDPI process, the topics can be abstract, technical, current affairs, or related to management. A few of the topics in the group discussion as per seniors are below.

• Kejriwal vs Modi Government.
• Independence of women in India.
• Is astrology a science or just a farce?
• Are we doing enough for the environment?
• Whistleblowers are disloyal agents
• Make in India - a boon or a bane
• India: Soft Power vs. Hard Power
• Extra weightage for female candidates for admission to educational institutes - right or wrong?
• Is war the only solution for Indo-Pak peace?
• Yoga should be made mandatory in schools.

These were the few topics. The topics are much simpler than the IIMs. Overall, the GD is comparatively easy to crack if you read the newspaper and track your surroundings.

Once you get a valid score in CAT and you get a call from NITIE you can start preparing for the GD, PI and WAT process. If you are pretty confident about your score and which college you want to get admitted you can start prior to the result.

Now coming to your question about how to prepare for interview for PGDISEM:

• First thing you need to know is your profile. This would encompass individual data, academic background, work experience and your hobbies.
• Try to know laws and agencies working for sustainable earth. You should be able to convince the interview panelist.
• Particular Terms and jargons like: Kyoto protocol, carbon trading, Greenhouse Gas, The Natural Step etc. should be properly accounted for.
• Accept if you don't know a few questions. Interview panel may have professors who are consultants to leading MNCs and proponents in their field.

If you have any doubt, connect with your mentor assigned to assist you. I hope this answer will help you and any future aspirants of NITIE. Just give your best and be confident. Wear that smile of confidence and just hold your thoughts. You will definitely get admitted to NITIE. Good luck.
