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.

It would not be a good idea to join NICMAR right after the completion of a B.Tech degree. It will be better to join NICMAR after having 2-3 years of work experience. You can easily get a salary package of 5-6 LPA.

The reason NICMAR is so popular among students is to open new opportunities. In the past, profiles in Planning and Contracting have been offered. It will also enhance the chances of promotion after graduating from NICMAR or any higher studies.

However, it is important to talk to the currently studying students or the recent pass-out batch student and know the real situation.

The PG Diploma in Industrial Safety and Environmental Management at NITIE focuses on the environment and safety concerns as a strategic business opportunity and addresses its need in the industries.

Here are some of the profiles offered after PGDISEM.

• Environment/Sustainability/Safety Manager
• CSR Manager
• Sustainability / EHS Consultant
• Consultant (SAP – EHS)
• Health and Well-being Manager

Here are the recent placement highlights for NITIE.

You have to decide whether this course will be right for you or not.

Post Graduate Program in Advanced Construction Management (PGP-ACM) is the best course offered at NIMCAR. 

The Pune campus is the best among all as the placements are great there. However, the Hyderabad campus is also not bad if not better than the Pune campus. The faculty is top-notch as well.

It is highly unlikely to get a shift from Hyderabad to Pune. You may like the Pune campus but the Hyderabad campus is also really good and you should not worry much about which campus you are getting.

The following subjects are taught in the first trimester in ACM at NICMAR.

• Marketing Management
• Managerial Accounting
• Economics for Construction
• Statistics
• Construction Management
• Construction methods and techniques
• Workshops (Labs)

The textbook usually depends on the choice or recommendation of the professor. Most of them will usually recommend you to follow the study material provided by them while some prescribe few textbooks. 

You can also ask your seniors and get help regarding notes and books or you can join the course and buy the books at your own convenience.

The admission process (criterion) followed by NITIE, Mumbai for the PGDISEM courses offered by the institution is as follows:

After all the rounds of the admission procedure are completed, the status of his/her application is conveyed by the institution as per the norms or criteria followed. My brother received an offer letter from the institution a few days after he got selected for admission into the PGDISEM course of the institute. 

One of my friends had recently joined NICMAR and here are some things he suggested that might help you with your question. 

• It would be highly recommended to take the Distance Course if the aspiring candidate is very serious about pursuing this course.
• The degree is not much worth the cost that one is paying. 
• Most of the prior experienced candidates got job offers with lesser salaries than they were getting before.
• The average CTC offered is around INR 6 LPA wherein you do not have much choice with the company that you can get placed anywhere else.

Thus, it is important to take suggestions from students who have recently passed out or are currently graduating and then make the decision.
