There are two different meanings to that word, so it would depend on the context.

If you mean MINUTE, as in 60-seconds, then the first syllable, MIN. (This is a noun.)

If you MINUTE, as in tiny, then the second syllable, NUTE, but then the first syllable is pronounced as "my". (This is an adjective.)

Examples:

noun: I will be ready in a minute. (pronounced MIN it)

adj.: The minute specimen was hard to identify. (pronounced my NOOT)

It depends on the meaning. The unit of time has the accent on the first syllable. The adjective for "really tiny" has the accent on the second syllable.
