When it comes to operations, NITIE is unbeatable compared to SPJAIN for at least the next ten years, and the same is true for finance and marketing, as NITIE cannot beat SPJIMR for the next decade. Here are some reasons to consider:
Overall, NITIE is a much better option than SPJIMR for operations and as a college in general. While SPJIMR has excellent marketing strategies, factors such as GFT and Rural internships are just gimmicks to bring the college into the top 10. Additionally, SPJIMR began inflating their placement reports due to institutes like MDI doing the same. It's essential to check the data for yourself and not settle for others' beliefs, as everyone has their own. NITIE is relatively unknown due to being a government institute that cannot advertise like SPJIMR or MDI. Additionally, the operation is not as prestigious a stream as finance and marketing in the corporate world, giving NITIE a bad reputation. However, NITIE is the clear choice for operations, and you should do your research and make an informed decision.
