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.
| Category | PGDIM (CAT Percentile) | PGDISEM (CAT Percentile) |
| General | 97 | 86 |
