Admission to the B.Sc. Economics program at NMIMS Bangalore is through the NPAT entrance exam, held typically in May and includes English, Basic Mathematics, and Logical Reasoning. A rank of 1500 is sufficient for admission. The institution is one of the few in India offering this course and is located in a key corporate city, adding to its appeal. The faculty is highly qualified, mostly holding PhDs and industry certifications like CA and CFA.
The program costs 2.5 lakhs INR per year for a 3-year duration, which is considered high in India. Fees cover tuition, library access, and a security deposit, and can be paid online or by draft. NMIMS boasts a 100% placement rate, with the highest salary package at 35 LPA and an average of 17 LPA, though only 30-40% of students participate in placements. Many choose further studies instead. Top recruiters include JP Morgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, and HDFC, and efforts are ongoing to attract more companies.
The pandemic affected placements, but recovery is evident. Students often pursue internships and voluntary work. There are no scholarships, but the university offers student loans in partnership with banks. The annual fee increases by 10,000 to 12,000 INR yearly.
