National Institute of Industrial Engineering, NITIE presents its 5th edition of NITIE Premier League. After the splendid success of previous editions with unprecedented team bids, more than 700 spectators from the top B schools (IIMs, IITs) from all over the country, print and social media coverage, NITIE is delighted to present its next edition from February 6-14, 2015.

Since the inception it’s a first of its kind sporting extravaganza among the B-Schools and has been successful in simulating the IPL atmosphere and providing an opportunity to the cricket enthusiasts of NITIE to experience the same by managing their own teams.

Bawaal - the inter-section Cricket Tournament which provides players an opportunity to showcase their talent and prove their mettle to the prospective team-owners.
Team Auction – You see people shelling out insane amounts of money here (virtual) just to ‘buy’ their hometown or the city they love. Last year the 2 hour auction process culminated into 6 teams viz – Bangalore Falcons, Mumbai Mavericks, and Rajasthan Warriors representing Group A and Delhi Dashers, Chennai United, and Lucknow Nawabs forming Group B. Now it was time to apply all the Marketing and Branding skills learnt in the classroom. From amusing taglines like ‘Maarega Nahin To Jeetega Kaise’, to flamboyant jerseys, to intense photo shoots, to female Brand Managers and Brand Ambassadors, the teams did not leave a single arrow in their quiver of creativity. I am sure a certain Prof. Kotler would be proud if he knew about this.
Domestic Player Auctions: With Rs.6 lakh at disposal (virtual, of course), the six teams enter the domestic player auction.
Foreign Player Auctions: Foreign players are students from other B-Schools and since only the best players from these B-Schools like SJMSOM, NMIMS, SPJIMR and many more, are invited to play in the NPL, the foreign players generally go for a higher bid. A purse of Rs.4 (again virtual) was given to each team to purchase 4 foreign players each.

NPL is not merely a cricket tournament restricted to teams competing with each other, rather, it gives an opportunity to the cricket aficionados to put to test their managerial, marketing and leadership skills which come to the forefront during the player auctions and team bidding phase, The euphoria surrounding this event makes it a much awaited and hugely popular annual event.
