Some of my friends studied at NITIE Mumbai. According to them, there is no better way to get admission to NITIE. There are 2 ways to get admission, these include - 

• Through GATE - This leads to admission in courses like PGDIE, which is the flagship course, PGDMM, and PGDPM.
• Through CAT - This gets admission in PGDIM and PGDISEM.

At NITIE all the courses are given equal importance. The faculties of every course are highly experienced and very cooperative.

The college conducts a common placement program, where all the students of all departments can take part in. The course structure is almost similar during the first year.

So you can choose from these 2 ways to get admission to NITIE. Ultimately it depends on your strengths and weaknesses. 

There is nothing like a better way to join NITIE, to join any of the courses you have to be top-ranked in the respective exams.

One of my cousins was a part of NITIE Mumbai and has a better outlook regarding the same. Here is what he has to say,

• NITIE Mumbai is equipped with a 16 storied hostel apartment for boys, commonly called the Taylor Hostel, and almost 8 to 10 equipped for the girls, mostly known as the Gilbreth Hostel. 
• The girls’ hostel is quite old and outmoded.
• The rooms of the Gilbreth Hostel, however, are quite a bit more spacious than what is in the boys’ hostel.
• The hostel arrives with 27 rooms on every floor, with a twin sharing policy added. 
• It comes with two beds, two tables and chairs, and two individual cupboards.
• The rooms are gigantic and completely airy. 
• The view side of the institute’s hostel is beyond explanation as well. It overlooks the Vihar Lake on one side, while the Hiranandani Gardens on another. 
• The food you can avail in two messes is commonly known as Sarabhai and Taylor hall. Mostly, the food quality remains constantly the same either way. 
• The hostels also have table tennis courts, and mounted television sets as well.

These are what you should know before finally deciding anything. 

Yes, NITIE Mumbai gives fee concessions to the general category students also. The form of fee concession is merit cum need a form of scholarship. 

The simple meaning of this merit cum need scholarship is that a student has to be eligible for some criteria to avail it. To be eligible, a student needs to maintain considerable academic aggregate and should be from an economically weaker background. 

The range of scholarships is in the form of a 30% fee waiver for the students with an annual family income below INR 2.5 lakhs and a 50% fee waiver for the students with an annual family income below INR 1 lakh. 

Excluding the scholarship, the students enrolled in the courses of PGDPM, PGDIE, and PGDMM avail of a stipend of around INR 12400.

NITIE does not exclusively mention the courses pursued by the alumni from the institution.

Here are some of the notable alumni of NITIE along with their position and company names:

These are just a few names and the list of alumni is endless. 

It is suggested to fill up maximum programs in NITIE Mumbai. In the initial stage, most of the IIT and NIT are occupied by students who finally go to PSU’s. A lot of vacancies are created in these institutes; you just have to keep yourself updated with it and apply for it. 

• Students with 50-65 marks join any good institute like IIT BHU, ISM Dhanbad, NIT Jamshedpur, MANIT Bhopal, NIT Patna, etc. 
• It is wise to contact the seniors already present there and talk to them about the preparation.
• Students with marks 35-50 should try again and the ones who secured less than 35 should join private jobs. 
• GATE is not the last option. There are approximately 225 more PSUs and IES, RRB, State Govt. and many more job opportunities left. 
• PSU calls students up to rank 2000 and the seats are confirmed till AIR 500 and the rest depends on the interview. 
• NITIE Mumbai is a good option if you have a rank from 500-3000. 
• M.Tech is excellent from institutes such as IISC and top IITs. 

Lastly, students of the general category opting for Mechanical Engineering at NITIE Mumbai require a GATE score of 720-760 and above.

NITIE Mumbai happens to be my brother’s alma mater, so I think I can give you an idea about life at the institute.

• Pre-Summers: 4–5 lessons each day at most. Summer assignments and preparation. Again, there are a lot of GDs to prepare for the summer. You have to study on your own. 
• Post-Summer: Relaxed schedule. There are no more than 4–5 lessons. There are numerous activities on the playground. There will be no issues with preparation and a tight timeline. During the week, you can hang out with your friends. On weekends, the hostel is almost completely empty.
• Internships: During the internship, you will be busy with work. 

Aside from that, two to three classes each day are required. Prepare for case studies and try to pass at least one for a bonus point on your CV (takes most of the time). Focus on your final results rather than doing 4-5 assignments (one assignment is enough).

NITIE has a beautiful pond and a lush green campus. Students usually enjoy the beauty of the campus in between classes, and they occasionally visit the pond after dinner.

Outside campus, like any other institution in India, there is a small corner shop called KASHI Snacks. From tea to food, this restaurant has everything for NITIE students. As a result, this is a site that is generally crowded with students.

My brother is a former student of NITIE, currently working at a reputed MNC with a great package. His selection to NITIE was an informed decision as he was aware of the opportunities he is gonna get in terms of internships, research projects, and placements. He talked to various alumni and his friends at NITIE to make sure he is making the right decision. The high quality of intellectual students and professors and the huge alumni base of 50+ years does make a lot of difference here.

Here are some highlights of NITIE that you may find helpful.

• Being one of the oldest Business Schools in the country. NITIE has a very rich heritage.
• NITIE has a great alumni base i.e great networking opportunities and support.
• NITIE has connections across the globe.
• Highly qualified professors with tremendous collaboration opportunities.
• Great ROI with a 100% placement record.
• Great learning opportunities (internships and placements in top companies).

NITIE gave my brother an opportunity to present his research at the prestigious Stanford University and helped him land a Pre-Placement Offer in one of the biggest conglomerates of the country.

According to my brother’s experience, NITIE, IIM K, and IIMI are on the same level. You can select one of these institutes based on your branch preference. And if you are looking for a job in operation and supply chain management profile, then NITIE is even a better option than IIM A.
