16.Multidisciplinary / interdisciplinary
SVKM's NMIMS, Mumbai, offers over a bucket of unique programs
across a wide range of disciplines. At NMIMS, we foster
innovation and adopt a holistic curriculum design approach,
emphasizing multidisciplinary learning, employability, and
critical thinking. Starting from the academic year 2024-25, the
University is offering a few undergraduate programs aligned with
the curriculum framework prescribed by the National Education
Policy 2020 (NEP 2020). These programs feature an overhauled
curriculum with various components such as major, minor, open
elective, skill-based, and vocational courses, Indian Knowledge
System (IKS), on-the-job training, internships, community
engagement, and research-based projects. The curriculum includes
multiple exit options after the first, second, or third year, as
outlined in the NEP 2020 guidelines. Students enrolled in these
programs can earn an Honours degree with research in their major
discipline and an interdisciplinary minor upon successfully
completing the four-year program. Our program focuses on
employability and experiential learning, strengthened by robust
industry linkages, while the curriculum is enriched with regional
and national design processes and community-based pedagogy.

17.Academic bank of credits (ABC):


Through a structured framework, NMIMS promotes credit transfer,
student mobility, and flexible learning. To enhance student
registration in the Academic Bank of Credit (ABC), an initiative
by the UGC, we have implemented the following measures: •
Organized registration camps • Monitored schoolwise registration
to maximize participation • Regularly updated the University
Leadership Team on registration status

18.Skill development:

enhance employability and prepare students for the industry.

under the broad banner of Vocational and Skill Enhancement
Courses have been included in the curriculum.

and cultural aspects, we have revamped our curriculum to include


some intriguing IKS courses under the NEP 2020 framework. These
courses include Selective Exploration of Indian Economic Thinking
and Practice, Indian Culture and Civilization, Indian Thought and
Management

20.Focus on Outcome based education (OBE):Focus on Outcome based education (OBE):

approach, encompassing Course Outcomes (CO) and Programme

program learning goals, design and enhance curricula and achieve
these learning goals. The NEP 2020 guidelines, which promote a

Annual Quality Assurance Report of SVKM'S NARSEE MONJEE INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES

NMIMS (Deemed to be University) believes in imparting learning


which is learner centric, based oncontinuous improvement and
caters to different learning styles and differential learning
pace. This is achieved by involving students actively in the
learning process. The student involvement in learning is through
the following ways: Pedagogy that involves active engagement of
the student through games, experiments and role plays. Peer
learning through academic groups that are made for every cohort.
In some schools tutorials are conducted by senior students under
the supervision of a faculty. Project based learning Guided self-
learning in the form of a research paper or project. University
has adopted the Assurance of Learning process whereby in every
course the learning objectives are specified and mapped with the
program learning objectives. The course outcomes are specified and
mapped with all the evaluation components. The University follows
a process of continuous evaluation where the student is assessed
through internal assessment and term end exams through the year.
For each outcome attainment the 60:60 rule is followed. If 60 % of
the students get 60% or more, then the outcome is deemed to have
been met. In this way the students who have not met the course
outcomes are identified for every evaluation component.

learning, embracing a comprehensive approach that combines


experiential learning, participative engagement, and problem-
solving methodologies. This ensures that students not only
understand theoretical concepts but can also adeptly apply them in
real-life situations.

1. Experiential Learning: NMIMS strongly emphasizes hands-on


learning as a foundational element of its curriculum. Students are
immersed in a variety of practical activities, includingLaboratory
Work. Across various fields, from engineering to biotechnology and
management to law, our advanced labs offer invaluable practical
experiences.

2. Participative Learning:We cultivate a learning environment


where student participation is paramount. This includes
Interactive Classroom Techniques: We employ case studies, group
discussions, role-play, and think-pair-share exercises to
stimulate active participation and critical thought. The smart
board in every classroom also enables teachers to enhance the
teaching-learning experience. Technology-Enriched Learning: Our
use of Learning Management Systems, virtual labs, and online
collaboration tools supports an engaging and interactive learning
experience.

3. Problem-Based Learning (PBL):Central to the NMIMS educational


philosophy, PBL guides students through the resolution of
intricate, real-world challenges: Capstone Projects: These
projects task students with identifying and solving industry-
relevant problems, allowing for the practical application of their
academic insights. Case Methodology: Especially relevant in
management and law courses, this approach sharpens students'
analytical and decision-making capabilities.

7.3 - Institutional Distinctiveness

7.3.1 - Highlight the performance of the institution in an area distinct to its priority and thrust
(within a maximum of 200 words)
We Care Civic Engagement Internship (as a part of
experientialpedagogy) strives to sensitize budding managers about
the realities of the socio-economically backward citizens of the
country

The primary objectives of the internship are:

To enable students to value their role as informed and sensitized


citizens and engage them in social development activities To
develop analytical skills of the students to examine the cascading
impacts of social problems on various social groups and social
institutions To facilitate students' contribution of time, skills,
talent, and knowledge to make a difference. To provide an
opportunity for the students to learn and apply managerial skills
to address social issues and social projects.

The internship is undertaken by each MBA student for a period of 3


weeks in an assigned NGO. Students are required to identify a
social cause and are assigned an NGO. Before being sent for a
field project with an NGO, they are provided inputs in social
research methodology. This 3-week NGO internship experience alters
their thought process and makes them far more sensitive, as
reflected by the feedback received from students, NGOs, and
Corporates. This also helps develop an understanding of ethical
and social dilemmas that exist in Indian society.
