Survival of the fittest

NPAT is the entrance exam that you must give to get into NMIMS SAMSOE. You must be in the top 200 for the school of economics to get into the Mumbai Campus. Application fees for SOE are 1500/- and increase by 1000/- for every other school or every other attempt. There's no reservation in NMIMS. The admission process was very smooth.

NMIMS is the best college in India for B.Sc. economics. The course is very inclusive. Teacher: Student ratio is around 1:30. The faculty is well-qualified and teaches everything practically. Exams happen once every semester. But other exams like Mid-semester exams, ICAs, assignments and projects happen every week.

The fee is currently 3.25 lakhs per annum which is on the higher end if we take India's undergraduate programme fees. The fee increases by 15% every year. There are no scholarships or financial assistance. However, campus placements are good.

School of Economics has 3 fests in a year, namely Shastrath, Kaching x Ejcon and Fury. There are also monthly events organised by clubs. The library is great, has all the course books and a lot of other books for reference. Classrooms are like hotel rooms. They have ACs, Smart Boards and Wifi Facilities. There are no sports at NMIMS because of the small campus. However, the sports club organises sports on rented grounds and courts once in a while. There are many clubs run by students. Finance club, literary club, e-cell, corporate integration club, photography club, sports club, social club etc. are great.
