[2013] NMIMS Final Results Discussion!

@SufyS said:
for a Mumbai Univ grad .. the Levaing Certi is enuf for the Migration and Transfer Certi ??
I think that should do.
Waiting for an NMIMS student to confirm.

NMiMS has some tie-up with the SBI branch near the college for Education Loan. AFAIK the interest rates are more favourable and the documentation is smooth. Loan gets cleared without much fuss. So any of you planning to take a SBI(or for that matter from any bank) loan take it from the branch near the college.


P.S: The above info is based on the reviews I got from fellow batch-mates. I do not intend to endorse or advertise SBI in any manner what so ever. Just sharing some info. If any of you come across a better deal, do share over here so that other fellow candidates can benefit.

@Asadali I dint try to malign the institute, I just stated the obvious. There's a marked difference, and just like you, I was stating my opinion. My post was not for you, it was for the guys who were laughing it off. It doesn't only hurt you, even I have worked hard, every one has, and that's exactly my point.

I don't understand why its becoming a problem for everyone? I have nothing to say to you dude, relax!
My post is for NMIMS representatives here. If the college knows its not right to quote a figure, then why say 13+ lakhs at all? Would they have not mentioned about the CM/BM placements, had the average placement for CM/BM been 20 lakhs? I want an answer to that! If you try to hide you weakness it becomes all the more apparent. Why not simply say "We are sorry, we don't share placements at all", instead to giving alibis like "If we do it on a public platform, other colleges would see it, and that would jeopardize our prospects" ?

@Omkarp and @SufyS : Nopes. Refer to post# 1403.
@sanj_20041989 Thank you! :)

Ok, let's hear it out. What information are you exactly looking for? I will try to help you out. Also, please mention your converts/rejects at NM.
now i have seen a lot many posts in this forum..some are criticizing the colleges and some are defending it ....
We should take this just as a discussion rather than taking this too personally.
@Seniors @blue4u @manas222
We all respect NM and want its coveted seat as well and if it were not, we would not have applied here at all, but since wee have, that makes it very clear we are INTERESTED.
But the point is we are not only investing some 20 lacs but we are also putting our future at stake. Now with such a big decision in the corner we are bound to have some jitters. When we are saying a point against NM like "saying 13 lac figure is inflated" its not that we have this as a fact from wiki and some revered book, but its just that we have read it somewhere, Now since we want to join this college we also put this point in the forum not with the intention to criticize the college but we pour souls want that some of the senoirs take some pains to refute our allegations with proper ARGUMENTS instead of saying "DONT JOINS US ..GO TO some other college....IF YOU cant TRUST US why even BOTHER to join". We will be more than happy when we know that the allegations were wrong because this is where our destiny lies too.
I agree that they way things have been put by us "the perspective students" may not have been right, but our seniors who also were one time perspective students should know that we love NM, we want to come here but we want some of the doubts that have crept in our mind to be removed by substantialcounter arguments.
with respect
A perspective Student

You finished this process in time? :O
@manas222 I appreciate that, thanks!!

I am waitlisted for NMIMS-CM, that's also my first preference. Not selected for core, and w/l for BM, but wont join that.

I would like to know about the placement details of the CM course. Average, mean, median, mode, any stats, and also about the companies and profiles offered, if you could, please. Thanks in advance!!
@jack-ma
1) We are not representatives of college in admission process!!! Yes we do represent the college at various competitions an fests. Yes we identify with the college. But the language of your posts seem to accuse NMites posting here as though they are representing the college in admissions.
The students have no role in admission process. The official ids creation is an initiative by students to help out prospective candidates.
2) The reason NMites post here is because previous year even we were faced with similar situations and PG was the platform where unknown faces were kind enough to help us out with our apprehensions. Yes Placements was one of those and mind you none of the previous year students ever mentioned a figure :)
3) As I have mentioned ample no. of times this has become a phenonomenon across b-schools in the country not specific to NM. Students will not disclose pkgs. PERIOD. Is this reality so difficult to swallow? If you are still not satisfied, check the discussion forums for other institutes. Even there you won't find students disclosing pkgs etc.
Now you can attribute this to 'herd mentality' or whatever u want, but the FACT remains.
5) If you feel the NMites posting here are not helping much, then prolly u can resort to other avenues. As it is PG should not be the only source of information to rely on.
6) What happens with excessive posts catering to apprenehnsions wrt placements only is that other posts which seek info/hep wrt Loan facilities/Accomodation/Hostel/Pedagogy and other pros and cons get left out in all the debates and justifications.
7) One thing you all should also appreciate is that although we have not quoted any figures we have also not boasted about superb placements as in XYZ visited us with ABC pkg etc. So you cannot accuse us of selective disclosure. We have taken a stand as to not disclose a figure at all on this forum. The college will disclose its official report in which we as students have no part to play.
8) If you are really tracking news and PG you shud be aware that even official placement figures of many reputed institutes are flawed and manipulated.

At the cost of facing mass backlash I will stick out my neck and give my personal opinion:-
IMO MBA colleges in India shud stop publishing the placement packages itself. After all these are figures and anybody can justify those. Its accounting. If someone goes out and quantifies the perks offered by PSUs a CTC of 10lpa can projected as 12/15/18 or watever as per one's perception of fair market value. You can argue the correctness or the lack of it till eternity and yet won't come to a conclusion.

Regarding the apprehensions about CM/DM: Decide at the outset if these are your areas of preference. Even we don't want to see someone getting into these courses only to realise that it was not his/her interest area. My experience tells me that landing up in an area not in sync with one's interest is a far bitter pain than landing with a relatively small paycheck.
Most of the IT folks face a similar situation isn't it? Despite the pkg being at par with Industry avg, there is this realization that - this is not the field for me, this is not the kind of job for me.

Core is the best course at NM, in terms of every aspect that an MBA candidate might look for. CM/BM are niche courses, and only two other colleges come near with the quality of education at NMIMS. They are NISM and NIBM, respectively. You must understand that the industry traditionally has lower payscales at the entry level for management cadre, you may check the placement reports of NISM and NIBM to get an idea about it. I am not being apologetic about it, but the industry functions in that manner.

Also, a team from CM won the National and Asia Pacific Finals of CFA Research Challenge and will be representing India and APAC Region at London this month, so be assured about the quality of pedagogy. For Placements, don't harbor starry figures, the industry doesn't pay that well initially. But after 2-3 years, depending upon your performance, the sky is the limit.


For Puys: Please try to be less acidic in your comments and questions, and frame them in a manner that you would like to be answered to. Please understand that not everyone would be in a forgiving mood in a heated conversation. We are here to help you, not fight you. Do understand that.


@Omkarp Just in time 😃 and mind you I had misplaced my LC so u can imagine all the extra efforts :)
Last day of submission is 31st Sept. But college administration is liberal enough to understand genuine constraints. Be rest assured of that.
@manas222 u have really answered things in proper management style #respect #thankyou
@manas222 Any word on HR sir ?? :)
@manas222 As per my understanding the CM students should be placed in BFSI sector mostly and the placement report also shows the same. The highest packages were also in BFSI sector as per the official placement report. So why do you say that CM students get placed at lower packages. Does it mean that the higher packages in BFSI are only meant for Core students? Suppose a company X recruit one each from core, cm, bm..the core guy gets placed at higher package? Is it that way...(I am just asking coz you mentioned CM/BM' industry has lower packages..but the official placement report refutes the same)
@manas222 There couldn't be a more balanced reply.
As rightly mentioned by @manas222 the team representing Asia-Pacific region @ CFA research competition is from NMiMS CM. We all @ NMiMS ae proud of their efforts and achievements.
@ANS13 Ideal sector is BFSI. But if you read between the lines, surveys suggest that IT industry gets more than 60% of its revenues from BFSI. So that opens up one more sector.
'Suppose a company X recruit one each from core, cm, bm..the core guy gets placed at higher package?' : NO

You must understand that just because a company belongs to BFSI sector doesn't mean that it would want people specifically from BM/CM. When the Placecomm approaches companies, it presents the profiles of all the students, the company takes a call as which course they would like to recruit from. Majority go exclusively for Core with the profiles, some go exclusively for Focus. It depends on the company entirely. BFSI companies do also have some niche profiles, which are opened exclusively for Focus courses.
@manas222 Dude, thanks for that! Though, it still doesn't clear things for me, but it was at least better than a few other students' posts. Though, as the act of investigation goes, repeated posts by students from NMIMS somewhere suggest the lack of confidence in the figures for these courses, and would not justify the 16 lakh input, at least for me. I better not join it.

This is how information makes the difference.

But, thanks again!

Hi Puys,

Can anyone please help me with the links to the Hostel Form and the Medical Certificate Format??
Will be much appreciated..
