Narsee Monjee scores because of its location. Mumbai offers great placement opportunity for young MBA graduates. It also ensures that you have a enough scope of interaction with fellow institutes like the Symbi colleges, Welingkar, K J Somaiya, Jamnalal Bajaj and others. You can also be guaranteed of a rocking college life. You can zip off to Lonawala, Khandala or even Goa if the city gets to you (provided you can afford to take an off).

NMIMS has a trimester system. Work load is neither more nor less than other management institutes. It’s just that we are not used to studying regularly, the general tendency being to put off everything till the last month before exams. And, that’s when the trouble starts.Will put up its placement stats...keep watching this space:)
