Reshma's Review

I had to give an entrance exam which was NMAT. One needs to qualify individually in all 3 sections i.e. Quants verbal and logical. Post which if we qualify the required cut-off, we will be called for GP-PI rounds. I initially had a GD round and post that a personal interview round.

I am a pharma graduate and hence decided to choose the pharma MBA course. The faculty: student ratio is 1:15 which is satisfactory. All the faculties were top industry experts and hence helped us with practical examples and ongoing market trends. At the end of every term, we also get a chance to rate or give feedback to faculties if we have any concerns. We had 3 trimesters in a year and 2 midterms. Only a few subjects like finance are a little difficult to pass but the rest of them are doable.

During our internship majority of projects included market research or sales. Various companies that came for summer internships were GSK, Abbbvie, Sun with a certain amount of stipend. For market research projects we require to do primary and secondary research and at the end of two months, a report is to be submitted to our mentors.

Final year campus placements start from around September and all children are eligible for the process unless someone has opted out of the process. There are various consultancies and healthcare companies visiting the campus. To name a few Sun pharma, Macleods, Alkem. the average package offered was 8LPA and the highest package offered was 14LPA with profiles in marketing or data analysis. The college has 100% placements.

College provides us with all kinds of financial assistance. Students get an option of education loans at a relatively cheaper rate from all types of banks like SBI, BOB, etc. The interest rates vary from 6-11%. I paid 635000 for the first year and 635000 for the second year. The fees increase of the course is on annual basis with a rate of 0.5-1%. College also offers scholarships for the toppers of the NMAT exam.

Euphoria is NMIMS Mumbai's annual cultural fest in which renowned celebrities are invited and students from all across India compete with each other and earn awards. Every year in March. Along with the traditional library, the college also offers E-library and additional subscriptions to mint, statista, etc. Classrooms are equipped with stairwell seats, air-conditioned, whiteboard, projector, and enough lighting.

The topics for GD were very general like 'should work ex be necessary for MBA'. For a personal interview, the questions were based on my CV itself and some general knowledge. For PI, I had mock interviews with my mentors. Qualifying the NMAT score cut-off is the only major criteria to get into the college.
