I assume that you are talking about international placements. Here are some things you need to know before making a decision. As one of my friends graduated from NITIE, I might be able to answer your question.

• 2018 batch received a total of 10 international offers from companies like Olam International and Dubai Telecom. 
• Olam International made the highest international placement offer at USD 150,000 per annum.

Placement is the dream for many students. To make it possible you can move ahead with the NITIE Mumbai placement. Even recently, students got placed for massive annual packages exceeding INR 50 LPA. If you have a look at the current pandemic situation, there is a chance to experience the changes, still, the placements have stayed good.

On the other hand, to experience a good number of placements in reputed companies, then NITIE is the best place.

The admission process of the institute is simple. The details are below.

• The entrance exams accepted are GATE and CAT for different courses. CAT scores are acceptable for its two courses, PGDIM and PGDISEM.
• Once you get shortlisted based on the entrance exam, you need to appear for the GDPI process.
• The final selection is on your GDPI performance, entrance scores, academics, and work experience.
• Also, note that the minimum eligibility criteria required to get a call are to secure 60% in 10+2 (55% for reserved candidates), along with the CAT/ GATE scores.

Overall, the admission process is quick yet competitive.

NITIE Mumbai is a tough nut to crack as it is ranked 12th in the NIRF Ranking for Management 2020. It competes among the top IIMs and other B-schools in the country. So, it is a dream college for many.

For the PGDIM and PGDISEM programs, it accepts the CAT percentiles. The details of cut-offs are below.

For the shortlist calls, the institute only considers the minimum eligibility criteria along with the CAT cut-offs. It doesn’t look for academics until the final scores get calculated of the selected candidates.

First of all, it is important to note about NITIE is that it is not an undergraduate School where seats are fixed for different branches. In fact, it is a professional Masters school which is referred to as the Mecca of Supply Chain Management.

One of my friends is enrolled in the PGDIM which is an MBA equivalent course. PGDISEM is also an MBA equivalent course here. It is just like any other MBA college, there is no such quota for any specific branch. You need to clear the selection process that is CAT followed by GD and PI.

Though in NITIE there are few MTech equivalent courses as well such as PGDIE, PGDMM, etc, and it takes admission through GATE.

Admissions in PGDPM at NITIE accept GATE score followed by GD & PI. Here are few facts to keep in mind before pursuing the course:

1. PGDPM is focused on Operational Excellence and Financial Management, Marketing, and Human Resources. 
2. This is a perfect program for those who have experience from across the industry and wishes to transit from a technical role to a managerial role of managing products, manpower, and timely execution of the respective projects.
3. It will equip you to utilize the various tools and techniques that are industry-oriented for planning, evaluating, and monitoring. It can be called a foundation course which will lead to the development of basics needed for later advancing into the program, portfolio, and product management as well.
4. Project Management program acts as the connecting link between academics and industry, helping the organizations, implementing the strategies in moving forward in the digital space.
5. It is a dedicated course on contracts and strategic management and is vital for the course curriculum. It provides Project Managers all the necessary skills for handling Mergers & Acquisitions which is a part of the modern dynamic business world.
6. Project Management also enables the student to have a holistic approach in understanding businesses and strategize things taking into account market demands.

One will surely benefit from taking this course.

There are a number of students in the new sessions who hold a bit of a gap in their education. Being a dropper is not a big deal and does not possess any destructive concerns. 

However, some of the companies do take it into account as a negative consequence during the placement process. But do not let your spirits down and face it head on. It’s the skills you possess that would help you to make it through the entire process.
