What are pros and cons of NITIE Mumbai?
The pros and cons of the National Institute of Industrial Engineering (NITIE) are as follows.
Pros:
-
Location: NITIE Mumbai is located in the industrial hub of the country, Mumbai. This provides the students with a lot of options to explore and learn.
-
Alumni base: Like other famous B-schools like IIM A, B, C, FMS, XLRI, etc, NITIE, too, has a strong alumni background with students working worldwide. A large number of NITIE alumni are VPs, CXOs and even some are owners of their own start-ups with great ideas. The alumni of the institute visit the campus often for alumni talks.
-
B-School Challenges: NITIE students are well known for their participation in B-school challenges. In the past, students have participated in competitions like HUL Lime, ITC InterroBang, DCB, Aviva, etc. The success rate of NITIE students in these sorts of competitions is pretty high and it becomes an interesting learning experience.
-
Peer-Group: Anyone joining NITIE is surrounded by experienced people in-between the age group of 21-29. Which gives an opportunity for good peer-learning as many students have experience in the industry.
-
Placement: The placement rate of the institute is 100% with an average CTC around 20 LPA. It is somewhat considered as the most recognized B-school for Supply Chain and Operations. Even IT placements have seen a surge in recent years.
Cons:
-
There is a lack of diversity in NITIE and most of the students are engineers. Also, there is high gender diversity, around 8-10% of girls opt for a management degree in NITIE.
-
NITIE is not preferred to those candidates, who want to pursue a specialization in Finance and HR, as it is a new branch and is still in the initial stages.
-
The brand-name of NITIE is not as reputed as IIMs, XLRI, etc, and the brand recognition is limited to the corporate world.
The pros outweigh the cons for NITIE. Although it is not as recognized, NITIE is one of the top B-School in the country with a NIRF ranking of 12 for MBA.
How are SPJIMR operations compared to NITIE operations in terms of placements, alumni, and teaching?
When it comes to operations, NITIE is unbeatable compared to SPJAIN for at least the next ten years, and the same is true for finance and marketing, as NITIE cannot beat SPJIMR for the next decade. Here are some reasons to consider:
- Placements: If you're an operations graduate, NITIE has every recruiter you could possibly want, giving you more options to select the profile you want. Additionally, the average package is higher in SPJMIR, but that's due to factors such as batch strength with no reservation and the ability of private institutes to do more than government institutes. Overall, NITIE is the best choice for placement based on operations.
- Alumni: NITIE has a legacy of producing excellent graduates, and you'll find NITIE alumni at virtually every company.
- Teaching: SPJIMR has better professors for general courses, but NITIE has exceptional professors for operations elective courses. Ultimately, both are equivalent, and it comes down to how many case studies you complete.
- Diversity: NITIE only has engineers, while SPJIMR has a more vibrant crowd. Therefore, SPJIMR has the advantage in this area.
- ROI: Return on investment is the most important criterion when choosing a college. NITIE has the best ROI after FMS, making it an obvious choice. Big loans can drag down your package by 5-6 L a year, which is not worth it.
- Campus life: While my knowledge about this factor is limited, I have heard that SPJIMR doesn't have a proper campus and shares it with other colleges. NITIE has a larger and better campus, especially for nightlife.
Overall, NITIE is a much better option than SPJIMR for operations and as a college in general. While SPJIMR has excellent marketing strategies, factors such as GFT and Rural internships are just gimmicks to bring the college into the top 10. Additionally, SPJIMR began inflating their placement reports due to institutes like MDI doing the same. It's essential to check the data for yourself and not settle for others' beliefs, as everyone has their own. NITIE is relatively unknown due to being a government institute that cannot advertise like SPJIMR or MDI. Additionally, the operation is not as prestigious a stream as finance and marketing in the corporate world, giving NITIE a bad reputation. However, NITIE is the clear choice for operations, and you should do your research and make an informed decision.
