The first thing that one notices about NMIMS is usually the college infrastructure.
Using the word luxurious would be an understatement. It has a state of an art infrastructure with centrally air-conditioned classrooms that gives us the feeling of being in a five-star hotel. The beautiful ‘garden’ feel in the atrium is just a cherry on top. But, like most buildings in Mumbai, NMIMS is also horizontally challenged. What it lacks in width, it makes up for in height.
Another unique quality is the sheer size of the batch. With around 590+ students only in MBA Core, adding students from HR and Pharma, it makes for a huge and yet a beautifully diverse batch, with people from all walks of life.
The industry contacts that one gains being a part of the brand NMIMS is unparalleled. Situated at the strategic location, Mumbai, NMIMS graces the presence of several eminent industry members. Networking with the right people, getting to know the who’s who of the corporate world and most importantly, gaining knowledge and an insight into how the corporate world functions, are few of the many things that come with being a part of this B-School.
Another diversity that needs to be mentioned is the diversity of food choice in the canteen. From basic ‘vada pav’ to ‘Pita bread with hummus’, you name it, NMIMS has it. Yes, the non-vegetarians would not be exactly happy with the all-vegetarian menu, but the list of choices more than makes up for it.
NMIMS gives a lot of emphasis on experiential learning. Unlearn and relearn becomes one of the mantras after joining this institute. Be it the Bloomberg labs, the WeCare internship program, unique pedagogy or the unparalleled repository of journals and market data, the college provides ample opportunities for students to learn what can’t be learnt by merely attending the classrooms.
Talking of classrooms, the sort of faculty that the students are provided with is worthy of anyone’s envy. There are some extremely good teachers and some with several years of experience in the corporate world. Sharing anecdotes from their own lives, the classroom sessions add up to the experience by allowing us to actively participate in the class. The sort of opportunities provided in terms of the committee and cell pitches, allows us to be a proactive member of the college and take with us all that we can absorb in this two years and more.
NMIMS is unlike other B. School due to so many factors but mainly because of the kind of students that constitute the NMIMS family. NMIMS is also known for the placements it provides.
Having tie-ups with the best of the best companies is definitely one of the factors that NMIMS prides itself on, and we as the students look forward to associating ourselves with
For instance, Aditya Birla Group is an Indian multinational conglomerate, headquartered in Worli, Mumbai, India. It operates in 35 countries with more than 120,000 employees worldwide. The one company that I would definitely be most willing to work for would be Aditya Birla Fashion & Retail Ltd sells in-house brands such as Louis Philippe, Allen Solly, Peter England and People via their individual brand stores and through other multi-brand outlets. It also operates a multi-brand fashion retail chain Pantaloons which it acquired from Future Group.
