About NMIMS University, Mumbai (www.nmims.edu)
The year 1981 saw the opening up of the Management Education System in Mumbai with the decision of the University of Mumbai to allow new management Institutes to be set up. The pressing demand for management education, coupled with a keen sense of social commitment on the part of SVKM led to the birth of Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies named after the intrepid entrepreneur the Late Shri Narsee Monjee. Over the years it has evolved as a citadel of management thought and learning.
Over the years, NMIMS University, Mumbai, has been consistently ranked amongst top 10 B-Schools in the country.
In accordance with the UGC guidelines Narsee Monjee Institute of Management and Higher Studies (Deemed University) has been rechristened as SVKM’s NMIMS University (declared as Deemed-to-be University under Section 3 of the UGC Act, 1956, vide Notification No. F.9-37/2001-U-3 dated 13th January 2003, of the Government of India) and decided to function as a University rather than as an Institute.
The students are encouraged to undertake internship with the companies. The focus at NMIMS is to develop a Complete Student, i.e. a combination of academic and co-curricular skills. We groom our students to face the challenges of the corporate world with a blend of social sensitivity.
