In 1981, Shri Vile Parle Kelavani Mandal (SVKM) established Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies (NMIMS) to meet the growing demand for management education.

The consistent academic quality, research focus, faculty from top national and global institutes and strong industry linkages at NMIMS have placed it amongst the nation's prime centers of educational excellence and research. In 2003, NMIMS was declared a deemed-to-be university under section 3 of the UGC Act 1956 and Category-I in Graded Autonomy Regulation, 2018 by UGC/MHRD.

With the legacy of 38 years, NMIMS has grown to being not only one of the top 10 B-Schools in India but also emerged as a multi-disciplinary University with eight campuses at Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Indore, Shirpur, Dhule, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Chandigarh and sixteen constituent schools that include Management, Family Business, Engineering, Pharmacy, Architecture, Commerce, Economics, Law, Science, Liberal Arts, Design, Performing Arts, Mathematical Science, Agricultural Science, Hospitality Management and Distance Learning. In addition, we have nine Centres of Excellence as well at the University.

Today more than 15000 students and 700 full time faculty members are part of India's most sought after academic community i.e. NMIMS.
