NITIE offers the PGDIM course, and the NITIE Mumbai CAT cutoff is based on CAT 2022. The minimum expected cutoff required for the general category students would be 95 percentile to get admission to NITIE Mumbai.
Admission to PGDIM is done through the percentile scored in CAT. These are the latest cut-offs and they depend on the no. of total applications and several other factors.
Below is the expected NITIE Mumbai CAT cutoff 2022 for the PGDIM course for the academic year 2022 for various category students.
Category |
Cutoff Percentile |
General |
97 |
OBC |
65 |
SC |
65 |
ST |
65 |
PWD |
75 |
The cut-off that is officially mentioned for PGDIM/PGDSEM for an OBC candidate is above 65 percentile. But, I would suggest aiming for a percentile around 80–85, which will increase your chances of conversion.
Admission in PGDIM is done through the percentile scored in CAT. If you are an OBC candidate and looking to get admission to NITIE for PGDIM, then you must have secured an overall percentile of 86.5.
Now, for sectional cut-off for the OBC category, it varies every year. You must score 74 percentile in Quantitative and 74 in Verbal section as well.
These are the latest cut-offs but they depend on the no of total applications and several other factors.
PGDIM and PGDISEM are both courses that one can apply for with a CAT score at NITIE. Here are some differences listed according to some of my friends studying there.
Categories | PGDIM at NITIE | PGDISEM at NITIE |
Course Fee | 14.63 lakhs | 14.63 lakhs |
Highest CTC | 50 LPA | 58 LPA |
Average CTC | 15-20 LPA | 22 LPA |
Selecting the right course depending on your interest and preferences is most important. So choose wisely as this will shape your career ahead.

One of my close friends recently got admission to NITIE Mumbai. In the interview, he was asked mostly about his final year engineering project and his work experience, education, and about his skills. To clear your interview you will have to prepare very hard and will have to practice a lot. Here are a few things you should do for your preparation.
NITIE has a mock admission process called B-Cube. This will give you an idea about the GD and Interview.
You can definitely join NITIE as a fresher. You will have ample learning and placement opportunities at NITIE.
NITIE has placements at par with any other B school in India. NITIE is one of very few B-schools that conduct separate lateral and common placement processes for experienced and fresher. Also, NITIE has a magnificent ROI.
In case your academic record is not good and you have no prior work experience then it’s better to join a job and prepare for next year’s CAT. You can’t improve your academics but this way, you can improve your overall profile.
So, choose the option that suits you best.
I think I can give you an idea about the opportunities that you will receive at NITIE since a have a few friends who graduated from the institute.
These are a few of the opportunities that you will get at NITIE.
If you are asking from a technical point of view, you will not face any issues for doing PGDIM from NITIE once you have completed your M.Tech.
But, in the future, you might be asked during an interview as to why you have pursued a management degree after completing your master’s in a core field. Be prepared to give a convincing answer.
If you are thinking of joining the industry and then doing a management degree makes sense. It would definitely help you scale up your current job prospects. But, if you are pursuing this degree without any industry experience, it might come off as a little haphazard, like you are jumping from one degree to another. This might confuse your recruiter a little if your final goal is to bag placement in a decent company.
You can go ahead but think of a good reason as to why you want to pursue this to ensure that you get placed in your future and don’t face any problems.
You should enroll in NITIE PGDIM because with an SCM background, you will benefit from learning core management. PGDIM at NITIE will focus on marketing, finance, and HR in a more comprehensive manner, giving you a boost due to your SCM background.
Check the following table for a comparative analysis of both programs:
Particulars | PGDIM at NITIE | PGP-SM at IIM Lucknow |
Total Fees | 13.43 Lakhs | 9.20 Lakhs |
Highest CTC | 44 LPA | 27.5 LPA |
Average CTC | 20.85 LPA | 18.79 LPA |
Top 10% Average Salary | 37.38 LPA | 25.60 LPA |
As per the brochure for the IIML-SM course, you will be taught sustainability management, which focuses more on Macro and Microeconomics to sustain business environments. It will not cover core areas of Marketing, Finance, and HR. However, SM is an emerging field in management.
Both PGDIE and PGDIM are very good courses for a mechanical engineer, but the syllabus for both these courses is different.
PGDIE
PGDIM
Both the courses are very different from each other and now it depends on you in which field you are interested in. If you want to pursue a management course then go for PGDIM or if you want to be in the field of engineering, then you can choose PGDIE.
