Q) I have got admission in both IE program of an IIT and NITIE, which should I choose
and why?
A) IE is taught via management and application methodology at NITIE and from a research
oriented perspective at IITs. Traditionally in IITs stress in on Productivity and Process
Improvement Subjects whereas in NITIE you get to learn about Supply Chain Management,
Operations Management and Systems & IT. These give you a whole business perspective and not only the technical side of it. At NITIE, you learn about ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), BPR (Business Process Re-engineering), E-Commerce, Quality Management, and Investment Analysis etc. A very wide spectrum of courses is available giving you an exposure to overall business. Ultimately its each individuals own choice and preference. Each One chooses his own destiny.
Q) How PGDIE is more beneficial than IIT M.Tech degree?
A). It‟s a Post Graduate Diploma and is approved by MHRD (Ministry of Human Resource and
Development) and AICTE. Industry perceives the course as a management course with a focus on quantitative tools and cross functional skills. It is the perception in the industry that matters and PGDIE is a clear winner. Also, as a matter of fact IIMs too give out diplomas in management not degrees. Also PGDIE is equivalent to a M.Tech as mentioned on AICTE website. If interested, one can go in for research Ph.D. from any university in India/US/UK/rest of the world after completing PGDIE.
Also PGDIE is unique because you get 6 months „paid‟ industry internships which are not
available in any IIT. Internship stipends range from Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 30,000 pm for different
companies.
Q) How is the course structured?
A) The course has in all 5 three month study modules and 2 training modules one of 2 month
duration and other for four months.
