10 Things That Make NMIMS Mumbai Special

If the college infrastructure were to be described in one word, it would be: LUXURIOUS! Located in the heart of the beautiful city of dreams, the NMIMS School of Business Management Mumbai campus stands tall, and happens to be an important landmark to reckon with. Enabled with world- class infrastructure, equipped with AC classes and rooms, a library that houses a plethora of books and a repository of knowledge, NMIMS can truly boast of a campus and environment that has the best of all worlds. Extremely lavish and truly professional, designed intricately and exquisitely, the campus has been lauded by all our guests, dignitaries and students alike.

3. All the delectable food around us:

At NMIMS, Food is our common ground. We take our meals very seriously! To put it simply, it’s an experience of sorts. The campus has a world-class canteen with a capacity of 600, and meal time here literally becomes a hog-athon festival of its own kind! From the fanciest pastas and pizzas to the desi daal and chawal, you name it, we have it! With vending machines on various floors that serve to you quick munchies when you’re on the go, NMIMS makes sure no one here goes unfed, and all taste buds are catered to! And that’s not all! If one chooses to take a quick break and head out, we have a chain of food stalls right outside college, that serve some of the most famous and delicious vada paos and dosas that you can ever find! So much so, that even Aussie cricket legend Brett Lee couldn’t resist the delectable temptation!

4. The Industry Interactions:

Mumbai is best known as the city of dreams, is also, quite ironically, that never sleeps. It teaches you important life lessons and makes you ready for the corporate hustles! And NMIMS capitalises on just that, and its geographical advantage to ensure that it exposes its students to the rich interface that it can leverage, given the proximity to the corporate headquarters and hubs. From corporate seminars to Conclaves and conferences, NMIMS has been graced by speakers and stalwarts from the industry of the stature of Mrs. Kiran Bedi, Mr. Tarun Chugh - CEO/MD PNB Metlife, Mr. Roshan Abbas - TV Anchor/Director/Writer, Ms. Vandana Kohli - Independant Film Director, Mr. Raghu Iyer - CEO Rajasthan Royals, Mr. Sadashiv Nayak- CEO Big Bazaar and Mr. Sandeep Bakhshi - CEO, ICICI Prudential Life Insurance. These corporate honchos and leaders have graced our campus seminars and indulged in interactions with the batch, adding another feather in the glorious cap of NMIMS!

Students get together, sing and sway to the tunes of popular songs and just take some time off to appreciate the powerhouse of talent in college, and just enjoy each other’s company.

 

8. The Mumbai Darshan experiential learning:

NMIMS believes in holistic and balanced development of its students. And as part of that, what it gives to its fresh, new batch every year is a flavour of the city our students call home for their MBA stint. In an intricately designed induction and orientation week, the Student Council at NMIMS organises a cultural and experiential learning activity for the batch that steps into college, by exposing them to what Mumbai city has to offer! Planned out and executed as a timed race, the Mumbai Darshan seeks to expose the students to the city and its cultural heritage, giving them the chance to experience Mumbai like a true localite.  With interesting competitions, unique places and entertaining activities, this experience truly marks the beginning of life at NMIMS, and stays on with the students as the foundation of great friendships and experiences.

 

9. Our own student- managed mutual fund- Samriddhi:

Samriddhi is the investment arm of Finomenon – The Finance Cell at NMIMS, Mumbai. The idea behind Samriddhi is to provide a real world portfolio management and security analysis experience to the students of the college. The fund works under the guidance of the HOD – Finance and an advisory board comprising of people from leading business houses in the financial services sector. In a unique and exemplary endeavour, this initiative of a student-managed mutual fund gives our finance whiz-kids an edge over the others with an unmatched experience and first-hand learning opportunity.

 

10. Our grand star-studded fests:

Last, but definitely not the least, NMIMS is one B School which works hard but knows how to celebrate everyday even harder!
