SVKM'S NMIMS University
NMIMS University completed 28 years of its existence in the year 2008-09. The institution, established in the year 1981 as Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies, began its journey offering Master's Degree Programme in Management Studies - a course of the University of Mumbai, with an intake of only 40 students and 4 full time faculty members. It was temporarily located then at the Bhaidas Auditorium Complex.
NMIMS has undergone a tremendous transformation since it commenced its journey in 1981. Today it stands as a large, imposing university with seven specialized schools and two off campus centers, with an intake of about 4000+ students and 300+ full time faculty members. From Bhaidas Auditorium, NMIMS has also moved to a large complex where it stands today as a landmark in Vile Parle - an affluent suburb of Mumbai.
The journey traversed by NMIMS from 1981 to 2008 has been a long and fruitful one, with many a milestones along the way.
