NITIE - 2008 -2010 Admissions Queries

[aslipaagal]

Hello all,

I am having a doubt.
Whether am eligible to apply for NITIE or not.
Since NITIE asks for a first class degree in graduation(and nowhere mentioned about overall aggregate to be 60+).
And,for my college, we have degree based on score of final year i.e. 7th and 8th Semester's average will be taken and degree is provided on that basis.
So,now my overall aggregate is 59.xx but my degree is of first class(60+) and it is very well stated on my degree that "I have completed B.E. in first class(division)".
So,Am i eligible for NITIE application or not since i lost out to applying to JMET(IITs) since they ask for overall 60+ aggregate and explicitly mentioned this in advertisement.

Seniors, Kindly confirm and help.

TIA.

NITIE is the Best school for SCM in the whole of asia if I m not wrong..

Some of the profs here are the GODs of SCM in the whole country..
NITIE has traditionally been an Ops/SCM school but now it is diversifying itself..

I am surprised to see such baseless comments coming from an experienced PG member of a reputed institute .. !

I want to apply for both PGDIM and PGDISEM programs.

I have to request for two application sets or I can apply for both with one application only by ticking both options?

Thanks in advance.

@Murthymsr : One appln is enough.. U have to indicate your order of preference in tht.. If ur profile matches and u clear cutoffs, u may get calls 4m both..

@deeps2884 : I am nt the right person to talk abt PGDISEM.. I ll get the students from that course onboard here in a few days..

Hey Floyd,
Nice to know that u r frm SJMSOM. I was trying to find out someone from PG who is studying out there... the night canteen's paranthas are quite tasty over there Guess we can have a small meet sometime...
Regarding the dispute u r having with YSS on the SCM/OPS thingy, please do pm the concerned party instead of arguing publicly and convince him to edit his post if he is at fault. Mudslinging is against forum rules...
Regarding SCM in NITIE, you will need to be here to see for yourself. When NITIE was started, it was started as a consultancy org. All these programs, viz. pgdie, mdp, pgdim etc. were started in due course of time. The amount of SCM consultancies that our profs are involved in is stupendously high. There is an immense respect for the SCM fraternity here in the industry. FMCGs, Mfrng companies, Govt. has approached NITIE to avail its consultancy services. The tag of being the best in OPS and SCM has been earned across a span of more than 4 decades. The industry respects NITIE for this.
To deem a comment as baseless, u need to have sufficient facts... which is missing in your case. You must have studied in statistics that you have to accept the hypothesis if you fail to reject it.

At NITIE, you have the flexibility to choose your electives. You need not restrict yourself to OPS or FIN or MKTG.

Hi Billy

A post which says - "Forget the IIMs and ISBs" and "the best in asia" needs to be supported with much stronger facts and figures rather than subjective term like - "stupendously high" and "immense respect" which you have used in your post here. Infact, most of the top b schools can use these terms and make such claims. In such cases, what can support tall claims like - "the best in asia" is not such statements but tangible facts and figures. I had tried something similar in one of my posts HERE (SJMSOM ,IIT Bombay - Admission Queries) but I had refrained from making any comparisons. The post mentioned here is about Faculty and does not include details on Consultancy and Management Development programs.

Withouth any logic to substantiate the claim, making such posts are nothing but misguiding the aspirants. Here YSS has advised the aspirant to "Forget IIMs and ISBs". I would be very interested to know how many of his batchmates have taken this advice. How many in NITIE have left final calls from the IIMs and ISBs. Again, please give numbers to substantiate. Infact, I have two of my batchmates (one of them a hardcore PGite) who have left final IIM calls to join SOM. It would be interesting to know the figures for NITIE.

I have been in PG long enough to understand the forum rules and being into the second year of MBA has given me a good exposure of the strengths and weaknesses of various B schools. I have never refuted the strength of NITIE in Ops. Every B school has its own strengths which it has built over the years and there is no doubt that NITIE has been known for Ops. However, comments like "Forget the IIMs and ISBs" and "Best in Asia" are uncalled for and may misguide the aspirants.

My post never questions the idea but it questions the presentation.

and yeah .. you are always welcome into the night canteen. We often have visitors here and we would love to plan a short PG meet here.

Cheers
Ramesh
