Hey Srs

On 18th April, alongwith the waitlist update, do we expect the final list of the candidate who so ever has confirmed their admission by sending DD to NITIE?? It will take out the anxiety of DD accepted or not / reached or not in written.

Hope I mean the question asked!

Hi seniors / friends

My 4th attempt @ posting this message. Attempt 1 – thru a frenz id. Attempt 2- server error. Attempt 3- deleted mysteriously

I got thru MDI (rather wl<200) and am waitlisted @ NITIE and would get a final call from there too in all probability. I have been doing a LOT of research (since the day NITIE declared its results as my MDI interview was rocking) as to which of the two institutes would be better for me.

Now I understand that you cannot compare b-schools @ PG but I think for the benefit of all those who are in the same boat as me (and I am sure there are many!) this analysis is necessary. Plus, I have a few queries which only seniors @ MDI and NITIE can answer. And, I guess it will help people make an informed choice.

I have noted the following points regarding the 2 institutes:

• Average / Median salaries:

NITIE: 13+
MDI: 12+

One should be LEAST concerned about these figures.

• Fees:

NITIE: 2.6
MDI: 7.93

(I can finance my MBA myself if I join NITIE J)

• Summers (Now this is important):

NITIE had a pretty smooth summer placement process last year (over in 2-3 days).
MDI, on the other hand, ran into some problems getting their 180 students placed. I personally know some guys (2 in number to be precise) who finally had to take the help of their parents in getting placed!
The whole process did not get over even in a weeks time (correct me if I am wrong).

Moreover, at NITIE, you are required to do a 2-month and a 4-month internship (total 6 month internship). So you easily get back over a lac while doing your MBA.

As you all will agree, summer internships are important (not like the ones we did way back during our engineering days )

• Market Perception:

Both Institutes have a strong brand name. MDI spends a lot of money in marketing which is not done by NITIE (as it is a Govt of India institute).
NITIE is one of the 15 centres of excellence in the country along with 7 IITs, 6 IIMs and 1 IISc.

NITIE has also been acknowledged as the best institute in Asia-Pacific for Operations (No IIM can boast of such an accomplishment). But NITIE itself chose to be silent on this issue (God knows what’s wrong with those sarkaari bums!)

Rankings- both instis in the top 10

I heard there has been some proposal of converting NITIE into an IIM.

• Student Perception

MDI has a bigger name. Every year, many students leave NITIE for MDI and vice-versa.But in the past, students have left the following institutes for NITIE:

1. IIM I
2. IIM K
3. IIFT Delhi
4. SP Jain Mumbai
They must have done a lot of research (like me :P) to leave these instis.
Not too sure of MDI on this front.

• Final Placements:

At MDI, 240 students of PGPM + 60 students of PGPHR + 20 to 40 students of PGPIM will sit for the final / lateral placements. Total of around 330+

At NITE, 180 (PGPIM ) + 30 (ITM) + 15 (SEM). Total = 220-230
Moreover, NITIE is known to keep a few seats vacant even if the second waitlist gets exhausted. They are under no obligation to fill their seats. Last year a total of 140 students were given admits.

The point is that I feel I have a better chance of getting a profile of my choice (when almost the same companies visit the 2 institutes for the same kind of profiles) at a place where the number of students is less.

• Niche Courses

NITIE- Supply chains mgmt. Their fin placements are actually better than that of I & K.
MDI – Marketing

• Campus

Both institutes can boast of having a very good campus. NITIE’s campus is on a hill whereas MDI has one of the most impressive campuses I have ever seen. The only difference is (which shouldn’t be a big problem) that at NITIE, one gets a shared room in the first year and a single room in the second ;-)


My take – those who want to go into marketing, MDI is ur place. For finance guys, NITIE is the obvious choice.

For the others, the Returns are much higher at NITIE. But MDI has a bigger brand name.

@ Seniors, This analysis is done without any prejudices and biases. If you think this analysis is misleading or that I have not covered points in favour of MDI, please correct me then. And please don’t be mad at me. It’s regarding our future. So please help us make an informed choice.

Nice market research report man...
I think you know quite in and out of writing a report.

Ok, other points that I would like to add
a) You have almost covered 95% of the things in the comparison done above. Now it’s YOUR call and YOU have to take it. Don’t expect seniors to guide you to choose one of these insti...
b) Ultimately, I believe that the placement I’ll get after two years will not depend on whether I have an MBA from MDI or NITIE, but will depend on ME and what I am
c) You missed out foreign exchange program @ MDI which is not offered @ NITIE. But personally I believe it is more of a fun rather than learning. (and you have to spend another 3-4 lacs from your own pocket)
d) Now this is the point that you missed out completely. NITIE takes only engineers where as @ MDI you can find at least 20% of non engineers. Now this is both good and bad.

BAD because you might not get an opportunity to see and analysis a problem from a non-engineering perspective. From a perspective of a CA, an architect, a doctor, a lawyer..etc

GOOD because if you wanna go for FINANCE then its better not to fight for placement in financial sector with a CA or a B.Com grad. You’ll have better chance to get placed in financial sector@ NITIE where all of us will be at same level (same engineering background)


Note: I have tried to be as unbiased as possible while giving out my points. but personally I favor NITIE
