NITIE charged a nominal fee, and provided placements to almost cent percent of its students year after year. Set up in 1963 by the Government of India with assistance from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the International Labour Organisation (ILO), NITIE accepted only engineers into its courses. Since its rebranding, the institute has started accepting eligible students from varied fields.
In an exclusive interview with the Free Press Journal, Professor Manoj K Tiwari, the founding director of IIM Mumbai, talks about what else has changed since the rebranding. Here are the excerpts:
