One of my friends is part of NMIMS and says that the college is unfortunately not the best. Because he can describe his opinions better, here is what he has to say about both the positive and negative aspects of the institute,
Pros:
- The institute has good classrooms and a library.
- Being situated in Mumbai, it has great industrial tie-ups and linkages.
- Some of the professors at NMIMS are brilliant in their pedagogy, while most of them are not.
- The studies are primarily case-based. However, the case studies are from the old bundle.
- The canteen is good and provides decent food.
- Students can participate in different competitions and earn handsomely, or they can also obtain PPI.
Cons:
- It is highly expensive and can take up to about 23 lakhs.
- Students cannot avail hostel facilities. They only have about 15% of the students devoid of any amenities.
- Most of the faculty members are unfortunately not greatly concerned about the students.
- The placements of the institute are not up to the mark.
- A batch has over 600 students, somewhat indicating a reduced prioritization of the quality of education and brand.
- You cannot avail sports facilities. Additionally, there are no regular classes for 2nd year students.

The reason behind this is that the administration is unaware of the issues students face. It also has a very easy entrance exam to crack. In a nutshell, if you are planning to take a loan to study for an MBA, then this might not be the best option.
