NITIE set to become IIM Mumbai; existing students to get IIM certification

Keeping this expansion in mind, the institute is now aiming to double the number of students enrolled and develop its existing infrastructure accordingly. “I would like to see double the number of students in IIM Mumbai and for this, we need better infrastructure, research and accommodation for the staff. We will work on this as early as possible,” Shashi Kiran Shetty, Chairman of Society and Board of Governors, NITIE, told reporters on Wednesday.

Shetty also clarified that all the students who are currently enrolled in any programmes at NITIE (nearly 1200 students) will get an IIM Mumbai certification upon graduation.

“Ultimately, we want to make IIM Mumbai self-sustained, therefore, we will work towards developing infrastructure that can accommodate increasing numbers of students and staff members, introduce new programmes, and research projects and form industry collaborations that will help students in their learning process.

“We will also review the current fees structure in due course of time,” Shetty added.
