The National Institute of Industrial Engineering, NITIE, is set to undergo a transformation as it will soon be rebranded as the Indian Institute of Management Mumbai (IIM-Mumbai).

As a result of this development, IIM Mumbai will emerge as the 21st IIM in the nation and the second in Maharashtra, following IIM Nagpur. This announcement coincides with the institute\’s celebration of its Diamond Jubilee Year.

Reflecting on the occasion, Mr. Shashi Kiran Shetty, Chairman of the Society and Board of Governors at NITIE and Chairman and Founder of Allcargo Group, expressed, \”The recognition of NITIE as an IIM is a moment of immense pride for both NITIE and Mumbai. NITIE has garnered acclaim for its excellence in providing quality education in the domains of industrial engineering, engineering management, and management sciences.
