NITIE to Become IIM Mumbai

August 10, 2023

The well-regarded National Institute of Industrial Engineering (NITIE) is set to rebrand and expand its horizons as it prepares to become the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Mumbai. This monumental change isn’t just in name alone but carries with it a transformation in its academic approach and offerings.

Historical Academic Focus

Historically, NITIE has catered exclusively to engineering graduates. This niche approach has garnered the institution significant prestige in its specialized domain. However, with the upcoming academic year of 2024-’25, NITIE will usher in a new era as it begins admitting students from diverse educational backgrounds.

Admission Procedures

Prospective students seeking to join NITIE’s MBA programs will have to undergo the Common Admission Test (CAT), a well-established and rigorous examination. This ensures that the institute maintains its high standards even as it broadens its student base.

New Academic Offerings

In its next academic phase starting 2024-’25, NITIE plans to roll out three distinct MBA courses. This diversification is a significant departure from its earlier offerings, which were centered primarily around postgraduate diploma courses specifically tailored for engineering graduates.

Financial Aspects

Currently, a PG diploma in Industrial Engineering at NITIE is priced at Rs 6.5 lakh. As the institution evolves into IIM-Mumbai, this fee structure might undergo changes to align with the new academic offerings and institutional objectives.
