Will nitie lose ground to new iims?

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.
