An Unparalleled Legacy

What started with baby steps in 1981, NMIMS has today emerged as a globally reputed university. Always socially conscious, Shri Vile Parle Kelavani Mandal (SVKM) made the decision to cater to the rising demand for management institutes in the country. This led to the birth of Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies (NMIMS). It began humbly, offering a two-year full-time master’s programme in management studies with four full-time faculty members, 3,162 books, and an intake of 40 students, operating from Bhaidas Hall, Vile Parle (West), Mumbai.

Evolution and Growth

Starting out in a temporary location at Bhaidas Auditorium, NMIMS later moved to a large complex of over 5,50,000 sq. ft., which today stands as a landmark in the heart of Mumbai at Vile Parle, an affluent suburb of the city.

From its humble beginnings, NMIMS has evolved into one of India’s leading multi-disciplinary and multi-centric universities. Recognised as a Deemed-to-be University in 2003 and awarded Category-I autonomy in 2018, it now spans eight campuses and 17 schools across Management, Engineering & Technology, Science, Commerce, Architecture & Design, Liberal Arts, Humanities, and Law. With more than 12,000 students in Mumbai and 17,000 across all campuses, and about 650 full-time faculty members in Mumbai and over 900+ across all campuses, NMIMS has become one of India’s most sought-after academic communities. The university is also home to 10 faculty members who have received prestigious international scholarships, including the Fulbright and Humboldt, for post-doctoral research.

With consistent academic quality, a strong research focus, distinguished faculty from top national and global institutes, and robust industry linkages, NMIMS is recognised among the nation’s leading centres of educational excellence and research.

Holistic Approach

Keeping pace with the ever-evolving education landscape and meeting international standards, NMIMS has taken major initiatives in programmes, curriculum development, international linkages, placements, and student development. It has transformed into a global centre of learning, providing its students with balanced exposure to research, academics, and the practical aspects of industry.

Diversity and Innovation

The meteoric growth of NMIMS is rooted in our core belief that learning is most impactful when knowledge and expertise from various disciplines and diverse backgrounds are shared. Diversity has always been the mainstay of the university, providing a competitive edge to professional education

Innovation is the key to progress in the modern world, and our pursuit of excellence has led to constant upgrades and the addition of newer areas of education and research, making our programmes more relevant. Nurturing a sense of openness, participation, and fairness has helped NMIMS build a culture that is conducive to learning and continuous growth.
