Can I get into the PGDIE course of NITIE if I have a 52.2% in my 12th and 8.2 CGPA in my BE mechanical?
As your 12th percentage is below 60%, you will face difficulty in getting a shortlist. NITIE selection criteria assign certain weightage to 10th and 12th scores. So, even if you get shortlisted for the GD/PI round, your 12th percentage will bring down your overall score. A person with similar GD-PI performance and a higher 12th percentage is more likely to get preference for admission.
During the Summer internship shortlist, most recruiters usually give weightage to the 12th score. There are recruiters who don’t assign weightage to 10th and 12th scores but these are fewer in number.

Yes, you can make it through NITIE as a fresher without any knowledge regarding Industrial Engineering. It isn’t rocket science. A huge chunk of the PGDIE batch is freshers.
Here, technical knowledge takes a back seat. To do well in B-Schools, you have to be street-smart. You will be expected to apply common sense to tackle real-world problems.

The course is designed that way. You can also consult your professors and your peers to clear any doubts that you have.
You will definitely leave NITIE with some technical knowledge. From the first day, you will learn IE.
