Should you pick the MBA at IIM Mumbai?

This course suits graduates who want a general management job in a big city and can sit CAT again if this year falls short.

Pick it if:

You want a college that has held its place: it has stayed at the same NIRF management rank two years together, in 2024 and in 2025.

You have work experience and strong school marks: the interview and your past record carry forty of the hundred marks in the final score here.

You want an operations or supply chain job: the campus was NITIE until 2023 and still keeps operations as its strongest area.

You need a room from day one: the course is fully residential, so a room on campus comes with the seat.

Skip it if:

You are budgeting from an older fee page: the fee for this batch is INR 25 Lakhs, up from INR 21 Lakhs for the batch before it.

You want to skip CAT this year: there is no other way in, and the form closes on 15 Sep 2026.

You plan to live at home in Mumbai: the course is fully residential and the mess fee is paid a whole year ahead.

You are counting on the least percentile: the institute says the score that gets a call is much higher, so the gate is not a seat.

Counsellor's advice

If your CAT score clears the gate for your category, apply even when you are only a little above it: the interview and your past record carry real weight here. Ask what the mess advance costs before you plan the first year.

In short

IIM Lucknow costs less and pays a little more, but its gate sits five points higher. If your percentile clears both, take Lucknow; if it clears only IIM Mumbai, take this seat.

In short

IIM Kozhikode asks for the same percentile and charges less, but pays less as well. If you want the Mumbai job market and short trips to interviews, this seat is the better one.

In short

IIM Indore is cheaper and pays about the same, but its gate is five points higher. If your score clears both, weigh the Mumbai campus against a much larger batch at IIM Indore.

In short

IIM Shillong has the easiest gate here and the costliest seat, and it pays the least of the four. If IIM Mumbai gives you a call, keep Shillong only as a backup.

Fees and pay can change. Check each college site before you decide.

FAQs on IIM Mumbai MBA

The programme fee is INR 25 Lakhs for the whole course. A refundable deposit of INR 50,000 is paid once and comes back when you leave. The mess fee is charged on top and is paid a year in advance.

What CAT percentile do I need?▾

Which is the best course in NITIE Mumbai among PGDIE, PGDIM, PGDISEM, etc.?

Nitin VermaPost Graduate Diploma in Industrial Management, National Institute of Industrial Engineering (2021)

The most important thing you should know is which course will prove to be better for your career, rather than which is the best overall. As some of my friends are from NITIE Mumbai, I can give you a bit of information about PGDIE and PGDIM.

Both PGDIE and PGDIM are flagship courses of NITIE.
PGDIM is considered to be a management course, whereas PGDIE is a technical course.
PGDIE is a more M.Tech equivalent.
There are also certain differences between the course curriculum at PGDIE and PGDIM.
PGDIE has a batch size of 120. And PGDIM has a batch size of 250.
Admissions for PGDIE are done through GATE scores. For PGDIM, CAT scores are considered.
The placements of both the courses are good. Students of both these courses sit for placements by almost the same companies.

Therefore, it is suggested that you opt for the one that suits you the best. Ask yourself where your passion lies and will a management course or a technical course be beneficial for you.

What rank do I need to get into the NITIE with a course in mechanical engineering under the general category?

Priyam NarsikarStudied at NITIE Mumbai (2019)

One of my friends from NITIE mentions that for the mechanical engineering course under the general category, there are different requirements of GATE score by the college for the admission process.

For the general category, for any branch, the score of GATE is around 650.
There is no branch preference given over any other branches.
There are different cut-offs for every year and it depends on a lot of factors.
The factors include the average GATE scores of the students, the total no of received applications, and many others.
The last and final selection depends on factors such as the 10th aggregate, 12th aggregate, graduation aggregate, GATE score, group discussion, and personal interview.
There are different weights for every factor and after all the calculations with their respective weights are done, the final list is prepared.

The GATE score is quite difficult to say as there can be even a waiting list if there is a requirement for the same. Therefore, if a person gets the required minimum GATE score and performs well in the GD and PI round. Then there is a possibility of getting the call as the shifting in the waiting list is not predictable.

Which type of courses are offered by the NITIE Mumbai through the GATE, MBA or MTech?

Shreya PalitPGDIM from National Institute of Industrial Engineering (2019)

I have friends who study at NITIE Mumbai, and these are the 5 different courses the institute offers:

PGDIM (For Industrial Management)
PGDISEM (For Industrial Safety and Environment Management)
PGDIE (For Industrial Engineering)
PGDPM (For Project Management)
PGDMM (For Manufacturing Management)

Moreover, PGDIM and PGDISEM are equivalent to MBA and require you to appear in CAT exam to enroll in either of them.

Other than these few, PGDIE, PGDPM, and PGDMM are equivalent to M.Tech. The admissions are followed by considering the GATE scores which also helps make students eligible for the regular stipend provided by the government to several of these GATE qualifiers.

On assuming the salary package, after clearing the GATE, which is better to choose an MTech in IITs or a management course in NITIE?

The salary package that you receive depends on the type of organization you are part of, and your discipline of study.

For instance, the trend of artificial intelligence is continually spiking, with several similar industrial aspects. So, opting for IOT and M.Tech in fields relevant to these can undeniably bring better opportunities and higher packages in top-tier firms like Microsoft, Oracle and others.

Pursuing a management course from NITIE can also offer large pay packages if you are securing positions in top consulting services or FMCG firms.

However, comparing an M.Tech program of IIT with a management program of NITIE is not right. But, if you are talking about disciplines like Civil engineering, Mechanical engineering, or Chemical engineering, then choosing the management courses of NITIE instead, can grab you better opportunities. But then again, it depends upon how prepared and thorough you are with your academic credentials.

But don’t choose an institute solely based on its placement record. Choose the field that interests you instead.
