What Students Say
Likes
- Infrastructure of the college was great, we had all facilities provided to us and had a great learning environment. Libraries had all the resources and was a great place to study for exams as well. Classrooms were well equipped.
- The course structure was very detailed and comprehensive. A lot of people were pursuing CFA along with BCom Hons and it really helped them as the course covered a lot of the same topics.
- Great crowd, extremely smart peers who motivated me to push myself harder everyday to be better, very good college experience.
Dislikes
- Some of the faculty was problematic as they were rude and disrespectful towards the students
- It was Monday- Saturday. 1 day off is not enough in my opinion as we felt tired all the time.
- Mumbai is a very expensive city in general, so expenses are quite high while studying there.
Course Curriculum Overview
I would rate it 6/10 as the course curriculum was good but the planning wasn't. 3rd sem was made too tough with 4 practical and only 2 theory subjects while 5th sem and 6th sem was too easy. These subjects could've been divided better. We had 6 sems- with final exams each sem. 50 marks for internals (presentations, mid sems, projects) and 50 marks for final exams. You need 20 minimum in each to pass.
Fees and Financial Aid
Fees was 2L for Bcom Hons, while for courses like Eco Hons and Bsc Finance it was 3-4L. Registration fees was 10k and security deposit was around 6k which was returned to us at the end. Fees for courses like BBA branding and advertising was even higher around 5L
Campus Life
There were several clubs to be a part of. I was in the social responsibility club where we did social work to uplift our society. We went to blind schools, hosted events for certain causes and also visited old age homes. There was a cultural club, environment club, rotary t club etc, so students have several options to choose from. Sports club is there too. Classrooms are well equipped with all facilities like smart board acs etc.
Admission
I had applied to SSE for economics hons as well but chose NMIMS as I had heard it is better for placements and overall from my seniors I had heard it's a better college to be a part of. I did not get rejected from other colleges other than Ashoka. NMIMS conducts NPAT entrance exam for admission. It doesn't take into account boards marks.
Faculty
I've had a very varied experience with the faculty. Some of the faculty was very approachable and had a very good method of teaching while some of them were disrespectful and impractical and did not teach well. So I guess it really depended on different faculty members. 6 subjects per sem and exams for each, subjects like direct tax and cost accounting were difficult to pass.

Felt like NMIMS was a better option for me.
