Ishan Bajpai's Review On Narsee Monjee Institute Of Management Studies - [NMIMS Deemed To Be University], Mumbai

NM is a great institute with a very high brand equity in the industry although being in mumbai makes it one of the more expensive schools but at the same time it is in the hub of commercial activity.

Appeared for NMAT, scored 73 out of 100, which was 96 peecentile score for that time opted becuase of the good placement record primarily and also because the college recently started a industry specialisation in retail, which was the sunrise sector back then.

Holistic covered ground in terms of fields of management electives varied from functional such as fin, mark, hr to industry specific such as banking, retail etc.

Nmims has a robust internship program every student has to go through a 2 month program and the institute ensures that the best of the companies visit campus, Top IT, fmcg, telecom, Banking companies such as hul, loreal, Marico, Accenture, rbs, Icici, bse etc come to campus stipends range from 5000 to 50000 often internships turn into ppo.

College has a 100% placement record in my year the lowest ranging packages were in the range of 4 lacs per annum offered by government banks such as idbi, obc, Highest package was 30 lacs offered by amazon average was around 10 lacs and bulk of companies offered in that range.

Paragana, the college fest is attended by best of the b-schools it is a 3 day high energy event there are more than 3 fresher parties and a whole array of other parties as well Apart this, conferences, guest lectures and cultural events are a daily part of campus life.

Back in 09 the fee structure was such that there was a good return on investment in terms of fees versus placement but the fee structure has undergone a massive change total fees at that time was 7 lacs which for the 09-11 batch was 14 lacs it would be more now but if the placements are commensurate then it is a fair deal.

Many top banks offer good loans and other options and put up stalls at the time of the counselling process itself students can avail the same very easily college helps out in the same.

My 2 year MBA program was one experience that taught me a lot not just about management but about life itself i realised that it is the network you create which will help you out more than the education there is so much to learn about group dynamics, how to pitch your ideas and how to create a network and so much more.

Hostel is in the heart of Mumbai, juhu it has all desired facilities at the same time it is expensive cheaper accommodation options are available in nearby areas the mess food is average and purely vegetarian.

The alumni network is active and holds regular events to keep in touch with the old students from business leaders to economists and from models to authors, NM alumni are going to many different places and in style.

College followed a trimester system back then unit tests, Class assignments and presentations which were all rated formed 50% of the grading average one final exam for every trimester is the rest of the 50 percent.

Well versed with subjects, educated about the industry, extremely supportive and full of new ideas regular presentations, group assignments and field trips were the kind of fun as well as pragmatic learning experiences that we regularly shared, all of which were championed by the faculty members.
