NMIMS University the Dream University, a Scam or an Ideal?

The reason I wanted to choose nmims even after I got into many other colleges was because it offered a very interesting syllabus and curriculum. A lot of major subjects in Psychology are taught through all the 8 semesters making it very interesting and informative for students to further decide what they want to do in the field. The university offers credentials which are widely accepted for studying and working out of India. The university focuses on the primary principles of not encouraging rote learning and making learning a fun and memorable experience.

There is an internship committee too which helps students find internships during the summer breaks and also throughout the year. The college gives placements too after the completion of the degree. The internships provided include opportunities at Hospitals,Oldage homes, special schools, orphanages, mental hospitals etc.

The year wide fees for my course is 2,00,000 rupees and I haven't opted for any scholarship because honestly there weren't any. The tution fees is 1,10,000 rupees, security deposit is 5000, library deposit is 1000,laboratory deposit is 1000,developmental fees is 25,000 and OTHER fees is 58,000. I am not aware of financial aids provided to my batchmates.

As mentioned earlier, the college is very supportive of social interaction between peers and seniors and a lot of sub committees are present under the umbrella psychology committee of the psychology department. Mental Illness Awareness Week, Suicide Prevention Day, TedXNMIMS, Psych Film fest, etc are the few events organised by the department. These events offer EACH AND EVERY student to be a part whether they are a part of the committee or not and involvement in these also have marks making it more encouraging for students to participate. There is also a sports committee organising many sports events promoting sports significance of physical health. The libraries have all the resource books which the students need and there are enough study areas too.

I was admitted to almost all the colleges I applied for including Amity, Somaiya, St.Andrews, Nagindas Khandwala, National College. Firstly the most significant amd important of all points as to why I chose NMIMS is that it offers an Hons. Degree in Bsc Applied Psychology making it the ideal course for me which none of the colleges I got accepted to had. Somaiya, Nagindas and Amity did have a Bsc course but the curriculum was not as extensive and something I was interested in. Seeing the syllabus and description for the course at NMIMS I instantly knew this is what I want to do! The admission in NMIMS was done through an entrance examination which was conducted online and the eligibility was 50%+ percentage in 12th boards or similar exams and people from all streams were eligible.

The faculty is very supportive, kind and understanding to the students. They are very open to suggestions and feedback's and genuinely make sure to work on it. All the faculties know what they're teaching and the syllabus is taught very clearly. In one year there are two semesters. Each semesters have two exams being the ICA (mid terms) and the Final Term End Exams
