Some of my friends studied at NITIE Mumbai. According to them, your score will depend on various things. As there are many parameters in which it can be evaluated:

• Category/Score: Your category and GATE Score and CAT score are important as it will determine your admission at NITIE.
• Academic Score: If you have an overall 80% and above in your school and graduation, then the chances of you being accepted at NITIE is more.
• Work experience: If you have work experience of 2 years or more, then you will be preferred amongst other candidates with no work experience.
• Personality: There are many students at NITIE who despite having a less academic score, secured a seat at NITIE because of their personality which is evaluated during GD and Personal Interview.

These are the basic parameters that are considered if you want to take admission at NITIE Mumbai. A lot of my friends studied here, and according to them, it is a really good institution.

NITIE is the best option to go for after clearing GATE.

Most people opt for PSUs because it allows earning money directly without having to study further. But, in the long run, NITIE provides more diversified career opportunities. You will also find students at NITIE having experience working at PSU for a year or two.

For summer internships and final placements, many big companies such as Walmart, Uber, Flipkart, Amazon, Hindustan Unilever, BMW, Maersk, Shell, Nestle, P&G, Yes Bank, etc. come to the campus.

Placements are really good and like any other top B-school in India. The average package is around 18 LPA. If you are a hard-working person, your career and salary both will have a steep growth. Working at a PSU will take you almost 10 to 12 years even to double your initial salary.

The workload is almost similar to a PSU employee of the oil marketing sector such as IOCL, HPCL, BPCL, etc., after graduating from NITIE. I am not even exaggerating, the workload at these PSUs is heavy.

At present, NITIE Mumbai arrives with some of the best options for candidates who acquire admission through GATE. As is seen usually, students do not prefer giving a thought to opt for NITIE Mumbai since their first preference is directly joining a PSU and beginning to earn as early as possible.

In the longer run, NITIE Mumbai has been usually seen to provide an extra amount of opportunities as opposed to the former. Crucially, it offers wider career opportunities, unlike PSU. 

• Several students have rather considered joining NITIE Mumbai after eventually working in a PSU for about a year or two.
• There are various top recruiting companies that visit both for summer internships and final placement offers. 
• Amazon, Flipkart, BMW, Shell, Hindustan Unilever, Maersk, Walmart, ITC, Uber, P&G, Nestle, J&J, Yes bank are to name a few out of many. 
• The placements, however, range almost equal to some of the other top B-schools. 
• The average salary package spiked up to about 18 LPA. 
• The growth of the package is almost steep and partially depends upon how willing you are to work hard to attain it. 
• However, it might take you 10 to 12 years to secure double the initial salary in a PSU, with the inclusion of one pay revision by the commission.
• The workload you will have might be equivalent to what it is in the oil marketing PSUs, such as IOCL, BPCL, and HPCL. 
• The workload in both organizations is quite in the same range. 

Thus, it is suggested that you choose wisely and make an informed decision. Hope this helps answer your doubt.

One of my friends graduated from NITIE and here are some things I got to know from him. 

Firstly, I don't think you should drop your job to pursue PGDIE in NITIE.

• NITIE is good for Supply Chain and Operations. But no matter how good it is, it will be nothing compared to a proper work experience.
• Having a friend who is a BPCL employee and an ISB graduate, I would say, in case you want to go for learning industrial management, BPCL would be a great place to be.
• However, if you want to pursue a generic MBA and change your field, probably you would like to try your hands on IIMs, ISB, or other top 10 institutes in India.
• A lot of MBA graduates from NITIE go to FMCG companies. But Supply Chain is not their main focus.
• Due to this sometimes one gets relegated to support function, and their growth in the detector is stunning. It will be difficult to get a business leadership role.

Be very clear about your development goals and why you want to do your MBA since it is only a path to achieve what you want. Generally, things start afresh during the tenure of an MBA. 

No weightage is given as such to the past academic performance when it comes to placements. You must have cleared the minimum required marks when it comes to academics to get shortlisted for the interview.

Once you enter the interview room, the academies do not play any role. Everything depends upon your personality and confidence that you pose in an interview which will help you in clearing it. Academies do play an important role when it comes to campus placements.

Most of the people have suggested that overall all the three colleges are good and you will not be facing any problem if you take admission in any one of them. The NITIE College is good operations management, MDI is good for General management and Human resource management and IIFT is good for International trade. So, it depends upon you which branch you are interested in.

The overall reviews of these colleges are as follows:

MDI:

• This college is fairly consistent in getting top 10 rankings. 
• There are various kinds of live projects in the college which will help you in understanding the working culture in the corporate industry. Some of this live project will also allow formulating business strategies. 
• You will be having access to great infrastructure such as Bloomberg terminal and EuroMonitor database. 
• Along with the vibrant campus you will also be getting right guidance from Professors like Prof Bakshi , Prof Chatterjee and Prof. Mitra who will help you in getting the right path.
• You will also be getting great placement opportunities in various fields.

NITIE:

• Operations management in this college is very good. 
• It is located in Mumbai and because of this location that will get lots of live projects in the industries. 
• The college also provides good placement in the field of supply chain management, operations management, etc. 
• This college also has a good alumni base. There is not much flexibility in the placements and the rest depends upon you.

IIFT Kolkata:

• It is one of the greatest colleges with economics and trade as its pillars. 
• If you are looking for branches like international business and operations management then this is the best college. 
• There is a slight disadvantage between Kolkata and Delhi branches but the placements in both locations are similar.

The comparison table of MDI, NITIE, and IIFT Kolkata are as follows:

Overall IIFT-K is only good for trade and economics. For placements in finance, marketing and consulting roles MDI is a much better college than IIFT K and for operations management, NITIE is the best.

If you are more inclined towards Mathematics and Research, then IIT will be a good option for you. You can end up working as a business analyst for an MNC.

In the PGDIE course of NITIE, you will come across management sectors rather than technical knowledge. You will also get acquainted with subjects such as Operations and Supply chain. 

• NITIE would be a fit for you if you want to pursue management in the future. It will help you in getting placed in the best FMCGs and a number of the most sought-after companies in India
• Management skills come into play if you want to pursue M.Tech from an IIT. The jobs that you will get after graduating from an IIT will be related to analytics and consulting. The salary from the core jobs is not much. 

The connection NITIE has with industries is far better than the IITs in the country and the fact that it is placed in Mumbai, the financial capital of the country, you will get lucrative opportunities to engage in work with the industries for weekend projects.

You can apply to NITIE if you are an engineer. There are two ways in which you can get into NITIE. Either through the CAT exam or through the GATE exam.

You can apply for PGDIM or PGDISEM if you are applying through the CAT exam. Otherwise, you can apply for PGDIE, PGDPM, or PGDMM course if are applying through GATE exam.

After clearing the criteria in exams you have to face PI and GD rounds to get into NITIE. You will get a call if you are shortlisted in the final merit list after the GD-PI round. You will get the detailed admission procedure on the official website.
