  • The institute has already shown consistent improvement in NIRF rankings from 12th in 2017 to 7 in 2023.
  • 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.
