We are NMIMS Global Access School for Continuing Education, India’s #1 online management university. From being the country’s premiere distance-learning establishment of the 20th century to crafting a 21st century ready online education platform, our journey has been dynamic and gratifying. Thousands of students have graduated from NGA-SCE and are now fulfilling their hopes and dreams.
SVKM’s NMIMS was founded in 1981 and by 2003; they were awarded the ‘Deemed-to-be- University’ status. However, by 1994, it had become clear that the youth of urban and rural India were looking for quality education, which would supplement their professional career without them having to attend traditional classroom-based courses. This insight marked the birth of NGA-SCE, an establishment with a core focus on online and distance learning. Thus, a merger between technology and academic prowess created a more student-centric platform, and today, we can proudly claim that all our lectures are 100% online.
Our programs are designed to help working professionals advance in their career and enhance their employability. To make the enrolment process easier, we are spread across 26 cities in India with 8 regional offices and over 75 information centres.
To develop and deliver quality programs, curricula and services to the students with uncompromising work ethic, with the primary intention of nurturing a pool of highly employable professionals honed to live up to 21st Century demands.
We are committed to prepare students to fulfil corporate demands in a globalised world. This we shall achieve by providing support of technologically-enhanced teaching-learning opportunities and using multiple modes of course delivery. We will reach out to a community of learners by creating an environment characterised by quality, convenience, timeliness and accuracy. Through our values we will create a climate of high expectations for the success of our students and corporate associates.
Our programs are designed to help improve the knowledge, competencies and skills of working professionals while keeping in mind their busy schedules; so that they are better equipped to become leaders in their fields. In order to stay relevant and updated, we constantly revise and review our curriculum, courseware and the pedagogy. Our programs are backed by extensive academic research conducted by our faculty. We are committed to giving our students an enriching learning experience, which will better prepare them for the future.
Our programs are approved & recognised by University Grants Commission (UGC) & the Distance Education Bureau (UGC-DEB) of India. In 2018, we were granted Autonomy Category I by UGC (University Grants Commission), thereby giving us a blanket approval to offer programs through open & distance learning modes. The National Assessment and Accreditation Council have accredited us with Grade A+ in its 3rd cycle of assessment in 2018, which signifies the highest standards of academic leadership.
We are focused on giving our students an enriching and engaging online experience through enhanced & up-to-date technology. We have a coveted faculty of specialists and academicians whose primary goal is to guide the students through their professional challenges. Our program structure is based on the KSA (Knowledge-Skill-Attitude) framework that helps working professionals acquire key skills and competencies required to flourish in the workspace. The 3 pillars of KSA framework will lead to an increase in the student’s capability to face VUCA (Volatile – Uncertain – Complex – Ambiguous) in their professional career.
NMIMS was established in 1981 by Shri Vile Parle Kelavani Mandal with the help of a donation from Narsee Monjee Educational Trust as a Management Institute affiliated to University of Mumbai. Today, NMIMS is one of the top 10 B-schools in India. In 1994, we opened our doors to students who were looking to balance their education and work. Currently, we have grown to 35,000+ students & have 6,000 strong alumni. Even though we have been in the field of education for the last 3 decades, it feels like our journey has only begun.
