NITIE conducts two full-time post-graduate courses relating to development of top managers to take charge of the industry.  The courses over a period of time have gained a lot of command and respect in the industry.  The courses are :

1.    Post-Graduate Programme in Industrial Engineering, PGDIE, (18 months)
2.    Post-Graduate Programme in Industrial Management, PGDIM, (21 months)

The Post-graduate Programme in Industrial Engineering, PGDIE, is the pivotal course of the institute and was introduced in 1971.  It has completed 28 years of excellence.
 

NITIE's Goals:
 

• To flourish as a National Institute of highest standards of competence comparable to the major institutes of the world.
• To become an apex centre par excellence in education, research, training and consultancy.
• To innovate, assimilate and adapt the latest technological advances and developments to meet the changing requirements of industry and make them percolate in all sectors of economy to improve standards of living and quality of life of the people of the country.

• ERP systems from other software majors such as SAP.
• CAD/CAM software containing Pro-Engineer and Pro-mechanica to provide solutions in the area of industrial design, mechanical design, functional simulation, assembly management and manufacturing.
• Engineering Data Management (EDM) which is a design management tool (run in conjunction with Oracle database server) for concurrent engineering environment.
• Factory simulation Quest which is a 3D graphic based, interactive, integrated, discrete event process simulation software which can simulate kinematics, dynamics, mechanical and other behavioural characteristics of manufacturing systems.

Computer Centre

NITIE is equipped with state-of-the-art computation facilities, to complement the class room pedagogy.  It has over 100 Pentium-II based workstations running on various platforms like Windows 95/NT, Novell Netware.  The distinct features of the computer centre include:

• Analyst, Lotus Notes, Factory CADD etc.
• Multimedia Software like Quick Time, Director, Action etc.

NITIE also has NicNet connectivity through V-Sat provided by NCI.

NITIE's PGDIE

The Post Graduate Diploma in Industrial Engineering (PGDIE) was introduced by NITIE in 1971 as a two year programme.  Subsequently, it was effectively restructured into an 18 months programme.  The programme has completed over 28 years of excellence.  This programme is accredited by the Govt. of India, Association of Indian Universities and AICTE and is at par with Masters' Degree in Industrial Engineering.

Objectives of the Programme

• To develop an understanding of the fundamentals of design, operation and evaluation of organisational systems within the framework of management sciences.
• To train students in the design of integrated systems.
• To inculcate a systematic approach in dealing with problems in industry.
• To provide a generalist perspective viewing the entirely of an organisation as well as its place in a large environment.

• Quality of Intake:  The admission to this course is on the basis of a three stage selection procedure.  The first stage involves short listing of students on the basis of percentile score in GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering) conducted by IITs.  Only those applicants scoring very high in the GATE are short listed for the subsequent stages of a Group Discussion and Personal Interview.  This ensures that candidates selected possess not only excellent academic credentials but also commendable problem analysis and communication skills.

• Cross Functionality and Systemic Approach:  In a country where there is a plethora of management institutes, this programme , the only of its kind in India has carved a niche for itself.  The cross functional and systemic approach are distinguishing characteristics of NITIE's PGDIE programme.  No wonder this programme has provided the Indian industry with effective organisational consultants equipped with analytical and managerial skills over the past 28 years.

• Industrial Focus:  Since NITIE believes that the complexities of the business environment can't be fully understood and solved by classroom teaching alone, its students spend 6 months in the industry doing two real life projects.  The projects consists of one 2-months summer project (April-June) which imparts the working knowledge of business systems and the other 4-months final project (Sept-Dec) which provides an opportunity to solve fairly complex business problems.  The importance attached to these projects can be gauged from the fact that leading corporate across the country flood the students with various project offers in diverse areas.

NITIE conducts an All-India Summer Project Contest for the management students of different management institutes all over the country under the title Prerana.  The contest is a two day event in 7 categories such as Logistics, General Management, Finance, Marketing, Human Resource etc.  Prerana a very popular and fiercely contested event.  The Contest is fully sponsored by select group of 20 blue chip corporate.  It receives over 200 entries for almost every category of which 5 pass the test for the final contest.  In each category there is one winner.
