Late in November 2021, I completed my first year at NMIMS Bangalore. Some reflections-
In spite of the pandemic, students exhibited a lot of energy whenever I met them online, and sometimes, offline. They were curious and enthusiastic, which serves you well, I think, rather than being a boring genius.
I have seen two TEDx events, a couple of Marketing events, an HR Panel discussion, two online Convocations, an Independence Day curated online by students for cultural events, and a couple of Felicitation ceremonies for Rank Holders. We also managed to hold two FDPs on Teaching Innovations and Research, and also one physical Retreat with the VC and others at Lonavala. And an online Social gathering of FACULTY from across all campuses.
We have multiple campuses, each vibrant with its unique character, and mix of programs. Some have engineering, pharmacy (we don't). At Bangalore, we started with an Exec PGDM on weekends, and it is now into its 28th Batch. It is AMBA accredited, and quite successful. Followed by MBA, also accredited, and ranked 32nd in India by Business Today!
Undergrad programs have bright students coming mostly through the NPAT exam (for Law, BBA, Eco, Finance and Commerce), but we also have direct admission in B.Sc. (Applied Stats and Analytics), a unique program with placement potential. 60% in Maths or Stats at 12th grade is a pre-requisite to enter this program.
Faculty have both industry and teaching experience, in most cases. Some Adjunct Faculty have over two decades of industry experience in Supply Chain, Advertising, Analytics and Strategy. A great group of mentors for students, in addition to a strong alumni base- helps us in placements, live projects and advice to young students.
We will definitely go places, is what I think. Happy to be a part of this distinctive brand- Brand NMIMS Bangalore, as we have named it!
