I have a few friends from NITIE so I can give you some information regarding admission to the institute. It accepts GATE scores for PGDIE, PGDMM, and PDPM courses. They shortlist students for GD-PI based on their GATE scores. The required cutoff for GATE varies every year, due to many variables. Here are the cutoff trends for 2021.
Category | GATE Cutoff |
General | 609 |
OBC | 473 |
SC | 345 |
ST | 317 |
Physically Disabled | 473 |
The GD-PI round will have 60% weightage for your final selection and the remaining 40% will include your GATE score, academic records, and your work experience if you have any.
Hence, the GATE cutoff for every branch in NITIE is the same but you will also have to perform very well in your GD/PI round to get admission.
Both PGDIE and PGDIM are very good courses for a mechanical engineer, but the syllabus for both these courses is different.
PGDIE
PGDIM
Both the courses are very different from each other and now it depends on you in which field you are interested in. If you want to pursue a management course then go for PGDIM or if you want to be in the field of engineering, then you can choose PGDIE.
There is no fixed age limit to pursue the program. My sister did her PGDIE at 26 and she is now working at Amazon with a great CTC. As long as you are passionate about your career it doesn’t matter what your age is. However, before taking any decision, there are some important questions which you should consider:
