SVKM is dedicated to delivering quality education to all. It is an equal opportunity University. NMIMS started its journey in 1981 as a Management Institute affiliated to University of Mumbai. In about 15 years’ time, NMIMS emerged as one of the top ten Business Schools in India in the first ever ranking of management institutes undertaken by Business Today in 1995. NMIMS has since then continued to remain one of the top ten management schools as per the ranking exercise undertaken by Business and Economics magazines and newspapers. The strength of the Management School was recognized at the global level in 2011 when GMAC invited NMIMS to join the Council of world’s best B- Schools. NMIMS was accredited by NAAC in 1999 with a Five Star rating and reaccredited in February 2006 with an A Grade. CRISIL and ICRA have rated NMIMS at the highest level both at national and state level. Based on an outstanding performance in Management Education and leadership experience of building outstanding institutions, NMIMS was conferred a Deemed to be University status on January 13, 2003. This status was reconfirmed and made permanent by Government of India; vide its letter dated 15th October 2007. Following review by UGC in 2006, NMIMS (Deemed to be University) decided to diversify in other disciplines. This decision of diversification was influenced by the changing demographic structure of India and emerging education needs, particularly in the middleclass families for professional education. The aspirational youth now wanted a professional degree that would enhance their employability. Hence, development of employable graduate became an important parameter in NMIMS thinking. Equally were the emerging needs of the industry following the adoption of new technologies including ICT and growing influence of internet. Another consideration in diversification was expanding the scope of management education to other disciplines. Hence, NMIMS Deemed University established MPSTME, SPPSPTM, BSSA, SDSoS and ASMSoC in 2006. It also established the School for Continuing Education or Distance Learning. MPSTME offered for the first time in India a Five Year Integrated MBA Tech besides B.Tech and M.Tech programs. The School of Pharmacy offers MBA Pharma Tech besides offering programs in Pharmacy at Bachelor’s and Master’s level. In 2006 School of Commerce started with B.Com Hons and BBA programs, School of Architecture with B.Arch. and School of Science started with M.SC and Ph.D. in Biological and Chemical Sciences. Since then NMIMS has grown to be today a university with 11 schools and 3 off campuses. The University is today recognized at the national level as a credible institution with a high repute. This is reflected in the ranking exercise by various agencies and awards won by our Schools (constituent departments) and University as a whole. Curricular, Design and Delivery The University developed its strategic plan in 2010. Based on the performance of the institution between 2010 and 2015, University community reviewed it and developed a new one for 2015- 30. The Vision of the University is to be a globally admired University by 2030. The Mission of NMIMS is to emerge as a Centre of Excellence best in class in India and Asia and yearning to be the best in the world by 2030. This it hopes to achieve through Innovations, Benchmarking promoting faculty scholarship and creating a global learning experience on the 1 campus. It will also work towards establishing partnership with industry, social organizations, government agencies and top global universities. Innovations are the bedrock of NMIMS. From the time of its inception as the Management School and later as the Deemed University, NMIMS has been at the forefront of innovations which have disrupted the academic processes and programs. Integrated programs like MBA Tech. and MBA Pharma Tech launched post 2006 are an example of such an innovation. The MBA Tech program heralded a new thinking in the country as many other institutions also started similar program post 2009-10.
