SVKM's NMIMS

NMIMS University, established in 1981 by the Shri Vile Parle Kelavani Mandal (SVKM) in Mumbai, started as a modest institution offering a two-year full-time master's program in management studies. Initially housed in a small setup above Bhaidas Hall in Vile Parle, it had four full-time faculty members and a library of 3,162 books, catering to 40 students.

In the years following its inception, NMIMS rapidly expanded. By 2003, it achieved the status of a deemed university under the University Grants Commission (UGC) Act of 1956, allowing it to offer diverse programs across various disciplines.^[11]

NMIMS mainly offer undergraduate/postgraduate, postgraduate, doctoral, and executive education programs. Some programs offered by all NMIMS campuses are similar; however, some campuses offer unique programs for specialized purposes.

The two-year full-time MBA is spread over six trimesters and covers core subjects in the first year, followed by specialized electives in the second year. The curriculum is enriched with seminars, workshops, industry projects, and global exchange programs. Specializations include finance, marketing, operations, and human resources, with strong industry linkages enhancing the learning experience.^[12]

This specialized MBA program combines business management education with advanced analytics. It includes courses on artificial intelligence, machine learning, and big data analytics, aiming to prepare students for roles that require data-driven decision-making. The curriculum emphasizes practical training through industry projects and internships, focusing on the application of analytical tools in business contexts.^[13]

Engineering disciplines offered include computer engineering, mechanical engineering, and electronics and telecommunications.^[14]

The pharmacy programs include undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral courses in pharmacy and pharmaceutical technology. These programs focus on research, clinical practice, and industry-relevant training. The curriculum is designed to equip students with skills for careers in the pharmaceutical industry, healthcare sector, and academic research. ^[15]

NMIMS offers integrated law programs such as BA LLB and BBA LLB, as well as LLM courses. These programs provide education in legal principles, supported by practical training through moot courts and internships.^[16]

The School of Commerce offers undergraduate programs like BBA, Bsc. Finance, BBA Fintech and BCom (Hons), while the School of Economics provides a BA in Economics. These programs aim to provide an education in financial principles, economic theories, and analytical skills.^[17]

The liberal arts program covers a broad spectrum of subjects including humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences, while the design program focuses on areas such as communication design, interior design, and industrial design.^[18]

• NMIMS was barred by the University Grants Commission from offering distance learning and online courses in February 2023^[26] for offering Online courses without UGC approval. Some other reasons include inadequate faculties and non-teaching staff, and low quality of Self-learning Material. However, the ban was lifted in August 2024 after NMIMS complied with the norms.^[27]

• In June 2025, the Bombay High Court advised SVKM's NMIMS to consider a reformative approach and grant a second chance to two first-year MBA students whose admissions had been cancelled for tampering with their mid-term corporate finance exam papers. Despite the misconduct, the court took into account the students' remorse and psychological trauma, suggesting that the institution reevaluate its decision rather than uphold strict punitive measures. The matter remains pending further hearings and potential re-examinations. ^[28]
