What is life after PGDIE from NITIE?
PGDIE opens various opportunities in different areas like industrial engineering, industrial design, Supply chain, and operations management. After completion of this course, you can expect yourself to be working at one of the top companies in India.
Most of my friends got placed in an FMCG company and are currently working in different domains. You will be given challenging projects every now and then. This will groom you for a business scenario. A good college will not guarantee a high-paying job in a top company, but it will only provide you with the best academics and exposure you will need in securing that job.
Working in an FMCG company will make your presence realize whenever you find your designed product in a supermarket. You will work hard enough to deliver the right product at right time.
Maintain very good academic records and prepare hard enough to get a job in a top company that offers very good opportunities and facilities to its employees, then your life after PGDIE can be great.
