Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

The first-year course is the same for all. From the second year, you need to choose electives that align with your Major and minors. Faculty members have good industry experience and there are many visiting faculties from IIM Bangalore, Symbiosis Pune, etc. Term exams are all application based and students need to be clear of all basic concepts to perform well in the exam.

Class Size: 50Course Fees: INR 900000 per year

Internships Opportunities

2.5

Companies like Duke, ICICI, Team lease, Manyavar, Decathlon, MTR, and many more. The range of stipend for internships is from 15k - 90k. And roles like - management trainee, management intern, marketing intern, portfolio manager, etc.

Placement Experience

2.5

Campus placements are okay. You cannot expect too much but what you get here is the same as compared to symbiosis Bangalore and other tier 2 colleges. There are a few loyal recruiters that come for internships and final placements and 100% of students are placed every time. With the highest package is around 22 LPA and the lowest is around 9 LPA.

Fees and Financial Aid

Tuition fees for the year 22 are around 9 lakhs, apart from this if you opt-in for a hostel you have to pay hostel fees that include food and transportation costs also. Hostel fees are around 2.35 lakhs. There are no scholarships that I know of.

Campus Life

3.5

Campus Life is okay. Not much happening, only one annual fest but there are a few clubs and committees that are active and allow you to learn and perform more. The library is good and the resources to study are also great, the classrooms are also good. There are a few cultural and sports activities which are done in the college.

Admission

To get admission to the college you need to clear the NMAT exam. The exam can be given at home as well as in a center. The exam is an adaptive exam similar to GMAT. You can apply for the exam on the NMAT website by GMAC, after registration you need to go to the NMIMS website to apply for colleges (NMIMS - Mumbai, Bangalore, Navi Mumbai, Indore). The cutoff for the exam will be around 235 plus or minus 5 marks.

Interview Experience

After clearing the NMAT cutoff, students are eligible for the next process which is the GDPI process. One has to prepare for a group discussion which is followed by an analytical writing test and after that, the student has to give a personal interview. Only after clearing all three rounds, the student is eligible for admission. The process takes around 4-5 hours depending upon the slots.

ISME: THIS IS ME !!

Course Curriculum Overview:

For jobs, it prepares you very well. You work through real case studies, Harvard business simulations, and a 4-to-6-month corporate internship, so you aren't completely clueless on day one at an office. If your goal is a PhD or pure research, though, it leans a bit too practical and corporate rather than deeply academic.

Pratham Nautiyal's Review On Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies - [NMIMS University], Bangalore

I chose NMIMS Bangalore over KJ Somaiya from where i got an offer as well because NMIMS is a brand name, the batch size compared to KJ Somaiya is one third and the average placement is higher as well. One other reason would be the high cost of living in Mumbai. I applied to KJ Somaiya and TAPMI as well. Rejected KJ Somaiya and didn’t get shortlisted for TAPMI. I got rejected from TAPM, their shortlisting criteria completely changed and I couldn’t do anything to change it. The admission process for NMIMS Bangalore is basically by clearing the NMAT exam, I scored around 230 and the cut off for it was i think around 224. NMIMS only take NMAT for consideration. The overall admission process is smooth only. Once you get the offer letter you just have to upload your documents and they will upload them in sometime...Read More

Bangalore is a nice city and nmims is like cherry on the cake. The admission process is simply a test. The test is called NLAT.

NMIMS Bangalore - The MBA you were looking for!

Students have to appear for NMAT which is specially organized by NMIMS University and different campuses have different cutoffs for NMAT. Once a student is eligible for a campus, he/she has to sit for 2 rounds of interviews usually, the GD round or a written test on an impromptu topic and an interview round. Students are marked accordingly and sent an offer letter. Any student having a UG degree in any course is eligible to apply and the application form is released by the university in around August followed by which NMAT starts which happens on different dates until January....Read More
