http://www.nitie.in/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=17 Q) Why should I Join NITIE?
A) National Institute of Industrial Engineering (NITIE), established in 1963 by the
Government of India with the assistance of United Nations Development Project (UNDP) through the International Labour Organization (ILO), is one of the leading Institutes for Management education.
NITIE is an autonomous body under the Ministry of HRD, Government of India and is governed by a Board of Governors, comprising of eminent personalities from Government, Academicians and Industry. Since its inception, NITIE has been providing solutions to the complex problems of industries and business, taking cognizance of ever changing needs of the dynamic business
environment. NITIE is recognized as one of the 15 centre of excellence along with IIT‟s, IIM‟s & IISc.
Q) What exactly is PGDIE course?
A) Started in 1971, PGDIE (Post Graduate Diploma in Industrial Engineering) is a unique
course which specializes in Supply Chain Management, Operations Management and Systems/IT.
There are subjects of Marketing, Finance, HR Management and General Management which
supplement the core strength of the course. The legacy of excellence of 36 years continues and we exemplify the spirit of our proud alumni (list given in the last).
PGDIE derived its uniqueness from the extensive industry interaction that it offers. There is a
two-month summer internship after three trimesters and four-month winter project where students have to undertake live projects in blue chip companies which take part in the institute‟s summer recruitment, lateral recruitment and campus recruitment processes.
The modus operandi of an engineer's mind which is quite different from that of a graduate of any other stream say arts, commerce etc. An engineer is blessed with superior logical reasoning faculties and the course structure and the pedagogy is designed for that “beautiful engineering mind”. The emphasis on the quantitative tools makes it different from other management programmes. The pedagogy is a blend of lectures, case studies and industrial assignments and interfaces throughout the curriculum.
Q) What are the important dates regarding admissions?
A) 4rth April 2011 -Last Date for submission of form.
11th-13th May 2011 -GD and PI
20th Jun 2011 - Classes begin
Q) What are the last year's cutoffs?
A) Anyone above 85 percentile in any branch of GATE is eligible to apply and after that the final selection is based on a weighted score derived from GATE and GD/PI scores. Apart from your performance in GD/PI your previous academic performance, work experience (if any), extracurricular participation etc will also be considered. Only first class engineers i.e. above 60% in BE/B.Tech are eligible to apply for this course.
Q) What is the admission process?
A) The eligibility for GD/PI is a first class engineering degree and a GATE score in excess of 85
percentile. On basis of GATE score, students are short listed for GD/PI. Final selection is based
on a composite score calculated by assigning appropriate weights to GATE and GD/PI scores.
GD is NOT an elimination round. Everyone who is called will be interviewed.
Q) What kind of a topic is given in the GD?
A) Usually general topics are given. A student is expected to be aware of the current affairs
especially those having implication on the Indian economy. A habit of reading the editorial and
the business section of any respectable news daily would stand you in good stead in the process.
Questions that are asked in most B-school interviews can be expected. Typical questions:-
“Tell us something about yourself, strengths, weaknesses, hobbies, achievements etc.” Why
NITIE and not IITs?”
“Why PGDIE?”
“What do you expect from NITIE?"
“Explain you final year project?”
“Explain your job profile?”
“What is your favorite subject? (might grill you on this)”
“What are your short term and long term goals” etc.
Remember that NITIE is not like any other course you get into through GATE. It is unique because
it gives you a managerial perspective to help you apply your technological skills to the current industrial
scenario. Answer questions keeping this point in mind.
Q) Is PI more inclined towards Technical side?
A) In PI, you may be asked technical questions though it‟s not a rule. If you have
workexperience, then expect questions from your field of experience too.
Q) Why should one prefer PGDIE over M.Tech?
A) Frankly it is a personal choice. But the demarcation lies in the fact that M.Tech courses focus on research and theory whereas PGDIE is a management course that deals with the application of technology in industry. Also you do M.Tech in a particular area, after that you are restricted to that particular function only. But after PGDIE you can go in any sector you wish to, it can be Banking, Services, Manufacturing, Automobiles, IT, FMCG‟s, Pharmaceuticals, Consultancy etc. The general management subjects ensure that graduates fit in management cadre in industries.
