9 Placement Guidelines:
NMIMS is a premier University of the country, in existence for over three decades and over the years it has earned
recognition from industry & professional associations, corporates, peer group institutions and accreditation agencies. All
these laurels and recognitions would have been incomplete without the support of the corporate world. Our alumni occupy
senior positions in leading companies across sectors.

NMIMS is also a great place to recruit potential young managers and business leaders. Leading companies across sectors
consider our students for recruitments/ internships. As we have cordial relations with the corporate world, many companies
have supported us even during tough times. We would like to continue this mutually symbiotic relationship. Hence, it is
expected that students understand this sentiment and behave responsibly at all times. Any untoward incident will jeopardize
this association and have serious repercussions for placements and for the future.

Being a Deemed to be University of higher learning, the corporate world expects students to display high standards of
professional knowledge, capability and excellence. Recruiters also look for candidates who are clear about their long-term
plans, the sector they want to be and profile they want to undertake.

Placement assistance is offered to students of various programs across Schools & Campuses.

The Placement Office facilitates the process of placements – internship & recruitment by creating an interface between
recruiters and students. Efforts are made to market the programs with their merits with an endeavour to get companies to
offer internships/recruit students. The selection process specified by the company is followed. The PlaceCom - Placement
Committee of students is actively involved in the placement activities – contacting/visiting companies located in metros
& major cities for placement presentations and also coordinate various activities during the placement processes.

The Placement Office devises placement guidelines that are in the larger interest of the School and students, in consultation
with students and faculty.

Students are expected to maintain decorum and abide by the guidelines during placement processes. In the event of non-
conformance to the placement guidelines, the School reserves the right to initiate corrective action.

The COVID 19 pandemic has had far-reaching consequences leading to an altogether new world of working for all leading
to WFH, virtual internships and virtual selection process.

The Placement process typically involves –

 Batch Preparation
 Pre Placement Talks
 Internships/Projects
 Final Placements

9.1 Batch Preparation:

The Comprehensive Batch Preparation Program is to enhance the suitability of candidates and orient them to industry
practices and expectations.
a. Interactive sessions with alumni/industry experts in various profiles that help students to gain clarity on role/fit,
understanding expectations of the company, future prospects - career evolution, right approach for cracking
interviews, listen to first-hand experience & get a feel of life in a particular profile etc.
b. Interaction with seniors who have undergone internships in companies.
c. Assigning seniors or alumni as mentors to guide students.
d. Mock interviews with alumni/corporates to get a direct feedback from people in relevant industries.
e. Guest talks and workshops on various topics from corporates.
f. Resume building as per guidelines
g. Soft skills training etc.
9.1.1 Prior to the commencement of the selection process it is expected that students should be having a fair idea
about their interest, sector and specialization or at least have some long term vision of where they want to be and
should direct their efforts accordingly. A bit of clarity will help students land a good internship/job.
9.1.2 Hence students should do a thorough research about the company, the business, the sector, other players in the
sector, the financials etc. and be prepared with a background and fact file prior to the process. Also some additional
information – the number of interns/recruits in the past, whether the company has a PPO policy, the roles offered,
the experience of seniors who interned with the company etc. will be of help.
9.1.3 The Placement Office also involves companies in a number of Campus Engagement activities – contests, projects,
workshops, seminars, guest talks etc. that would benefit a larger number of students and also help in promoting the
excellent quality of the batch.

14
 9.1.4 Based on the guidelines, students will have to prepare their resume that would encapsulate info about academics,
work experience, internship, co-curricular activities, extracurricular activities, projects, awards, achievements,
hobbies etc.

9.2 Pre-Placement Talk – PPT

PPT’s are a medium wherein the company officials disseminate information regarding the company, the profile, the
compensation etc. and clarify the queries of students. The company officials invest time and effort to disseminate info and
the interactive session will make them feel visiting our campus was worth it. Hence students are requested to participate
and ask relevant questions.

9.3 Internships/Projects
9.3.1 The Placement Office makes all efforts to reach out for internships across varied sectors, companies and profiles.
Based on ones’ interests and capabilities one should seek internships. Choosing the correct company for internships
and performing up to the mark is of utmost importance.
9.3.2 The Internships are not only a window to the corporate world but also a relationship-building tool for NMIMS. It
allows the companies to have a look at the talent at NMIMS, thereby strengthening Final Placements.
9.3.3 Internships are an integral part of the curriculum for securing the degree. It is a great learning platform for our
students and goes a long way in shaping the learning obtained in the classroom. This experience is of immense use
to students to enable them to acclimatize themselves to the intricacies of the corporate world.
9.3.4 The project is expected to build on the theoretical learning with practical experience and help students to identify
the gaps in their learning, which they can attempt to fill in. They could also discover areas of interest and future
career options.
9.3.5 Interactions during the internships both with other interns as well as employees help students to understand the
expectations/needs of the organisation, the sector in general, to identify the gaps in their learning and in orienting
oneself towards the sector and developing the required skill sets to emerge as the most suitable candidate.
9.3.6 Internships also hold a special significance as it is an apt mechanism for companies to spot bright talent early. Many
companies have structured internship process which is used as a ‘testing ground’ to gain a direct understanding of
the skill and ability of students leading to declaration of PPO’s/PPI’s. NMIMS too encourages candidates to work
towards such offers that are based on internship performance.
9.3.7 Pre Placement Offer (PPO) is an Offer by the company to the intern acknowledging the excellent work done during
the internship. Pre Placement Interview (PPI) is an opportunity by the company for the intern to be directly selected
for the interview for final placements. Thus, the students should be careful in applying to the companies of their
choice and should put in all efforts to convert the internship into an Offer. Thus, the seriousness of this cannot be
overstated.
9.3.8 While feedback from the company is sought, the internship is also evaluated by School that could involve faculty
guide monitoring the performance; periodic report submissions, evaluations, Viva Voce etc.

9.4 Final Placements

9.4.1 Leading companies across sectors aspire to recruit students of NMIMS. Each company has its own set of
characteristics or qualities that they look for in a candidate. Hence, the company devises the eligibility criteria and
selection process accordingly.
9.4.2 The process of selection starts with inviting applications based on the eligibility, profile, project,
stipend/compensation details shared by the company. The applications of applicants are then sent to companies.
Students are required to check their emails/Placement Portal/Student Portal, etc. regularly for information updates.
9.4.3 Every effort will be made to facilitate the placement process. However, it is the effort of the student that gets him/her
selected for the job. Not getting selected for internships or during final placements in the first few companies should
not lead to panic. Students are advised not to switch profiles in anxiety or haste.
9.4.4 Companies could have one or multiple rounds for selection – case analysis, group discussion, group exercises,
interviews etc. Reasons like location, family issues etc. should not be constraints to students. They are expected to
be mobile and have the capability to adjust and adapt and respond to emergent situations successfully.
9.4.5 Students who wish to drop out of the placement process are expected to formally notify the Placement Office vide
the ‘Opted Out Form’ mentioning the reason, which could be higher studies, entrepreneurship, family business,
seeking placements on their own giving with the names of such companies and details. The reason being, to iron out
any hitches that may crop up later as the Placement Office approaches many companies and would like to continue
the cordial relationship with them.
Each of the Schools will be sharing to the batch, guidelines related to Resume, PPT, Internships, PPO’s/PPI’s, Final
Placements etc. and it is expected that students follow the same. The School reserves the right to change, modify
the guidelines in the best interest of the batch. Students are free to approach the Placement Office for any queries or
guidance.

11 Feedback Mechanism:
11.1 NMIMS has a well-established online feedback mechanism through Student Portal for communication of perceptions. The
components of this feedback mechanism are:
11.1.1 Feedback at the end of the third week of every trimester/Semester. Dean / Director /Programme Chairperson/HOD
will meet students personally, if applicable.
11.1.2 Online Feedback through Students Portal is taken using a questionnaire preferably in the last session of every
course in each trimester/Semester. This feedback is compiled and statistics are placed before each faculty member
by the end of the trimester/Semester.
11.2 All students should get involved in this mechanism seriously as it truly helps the NMIMS improve the quality of services
and teaching provided.
11.3 These are open ended questions in which student can reflect learning and teaching aspects of the course.
11.4 NMIMS uses feedback to improve the teaching learning process proactively.
11.5 While sharing the feedback to the faculty members, student’s identity is kept confidential.

12 Mentoring Programme / ‘Psychologist and a Counsellor’:

12.1 Mentoring Programme:
Students (as applicable school wise) have been assigned faculty mentors whose role is to help assimilate the NMIMS
culture, facilitate intelligent choice making regarding selection of courses and help in identification of resources needed
by all students. Do meet your faculty mentor regularly as per their convenience and availability.

12.2 Psychologist and a Counsellor:

A counsellor is a non-judgmental friend who understands, ensures privacy and confidentiality and counsels you by giving
choices so that you make the right decision. Counselling is based on realistic structured and research based therapies.
Managing emotions is important to ensure all-rounded progress in life. To learn something new, we need to break the old
walls of myths and misconceptions. Visiting a counsellor helps us to relearn some more helpful, progressive, reality based
thinking. Personal counselling is very important at every step in life even at the corporate level. What we think about
situations affects our subconscious mind deeply which interferes with our present life and hinders our ability to lead a
healthy life.

As normal human beings at any given time in life, we could go through challenging times and have no one to share or
guide us. We often do not share our issues with family or friends due to the fear of upsetting them. We worry that perhaps
they may not understand or could become judgmental. At such times, we recommend Personal Counselling.

i. “I cannot concentrate or focus nor can I sleep, at times I get so scared that I go blank in my exams!”
ii. “Since the time he left me I cannot put my attention to anything I will not be able to live
anymore………can’t bear it if she is not in my life!”
iii. “I have lost my confidence I feel worthless /hopeless; no one loves me. I don’t want to live anymore”
iv. “I feel nobody understands what I am going through...” (People become judgemental instead of
understanding and supporting)
v. “I do not know whom to share my feelings with? Where do I seek help? Who will be able to really help?

Have you had any of these repetitive thoughts or facing a rejection that you are not able to cope up with?

Have you reacted very angrily first and then later realised that reacting to the event was not really needed and in the
process, you harmed the relations you had with your friends and family? You just do not know what went wrong then?
Do not understand what triggered you?

Just as we would treat a sprain with some ointment, we try to heal our emotional pain on our own. At times when the
sprain is not healing, we visit the doctor and similarly one visits the counsellor sometimes when we are unable to clear
our own emotional challenges. The counsellor needs to check how deep your wound is and usually you are helped by
putting a first aid protection (counseling) through therapeutic counseling. Sometimes the wound may have been too deep
/chronic or your bone is broken it could also need psychiatric intervention and give appropriate help.

We may be unaware of the implications of our behaviour on others but it eventually could affect our relations in daily
life at home, in class, or at work. When the past emotional situations are not dealt with therapeutically, we could develop
unhealthy negative thoughts and feelings which we need to be aware of as they could again lead to complications and
could affect our performance, decision making, logical thinking, studies, relationships and career. This form of continued
stress can gradually affect our body and physiological health causing hypertension, respiratory ailments, gastrointestinal
disturbances, migraine and tension headaches, pelvic pain, impotence, frigidity, dermatitis and ulcers.

The biggest myth is to believe that to be emotional is to be weak so often we push all our emotional issues under the
blanket and then to avoid sleepless nights take up unhealthy habits like smoking, drinking, and substance abuse. We do

18
 this hoping to feel better, which lasts only for short term, on the other hand, creating long term damage and may lead to
unhealthy dependency.

NMIMS wants to ensure holistic development of the students and therefore have appointed a team of psychologists and
a counsellor.

21. Guidelines for International Student Exchange Program

21.1 Introduction
NMIMS Deemed-to-be-University has developed an extensive International Students Exchange Program in order to
provide a cross cultural exposure and a global perspective to the students apart from classroom teaching. This is managed
by Department of International Linkages of the University. The Exchange Program has become increasingly popular with
the students and every year students get a chance to spend Semester/Trimesters at a partner Institute. With the dedicated
efforts of the International Linkages department, efforts are ongoing to have larger number of students to avail of this
unique opportunity in every school. Students at NMIMS also benefit from interacting with overseas students who visit us
as part of NMIMS Inbound exchange program and International Immersions.

21.2 Preamble
In a world that is increasingly interdependent, it is imperative for the NMIMS Deemed-to-be-University to have an
internationalization agenda. This involves creation of a multi ethnic environment in our programs on our campus. This can
happen only when students from different countries and communities join NMIMS programs.

This policy on internationalization seeks to clarify the philosophy behind the NMIMS Deemed-to-be-University’s
Internationalization program and sets out the eligibility of students to apply for an international exchange program. It also
sets out the selection criteria and guidelines for assessing applications and the expectations from the students going for the
exchange program.

expect our foreign students to conduct themselves at par with other Indian students.

 2. B.Sc. Economics Programme

B.Sc. Economics Programme

The B.Sc. Economics Programme is an academically rigorous programme that is highly relevant and contemporary to meet the
students’ and employers’ unique and ever changing needs.

 The Programme provides the inter-relationship between courses required for holistic understanding. There is a strong
flavour of liberal arts with incorporation of courses like Logic, English Literature, Behavioural Psychology, Sociology,
Law and Analysis of Financial statements. At the same time there is a strong focus on quantitative techniques and on
different and contemporary fields of Economics like Behavioural Economics, Economics of Geopolitics and International
Relations, Game Theory, Finance and Business.
 The B.Sc. Economics programme focuses on understanding economic theory through an applied approach. The emphasis
is on developing critical and analytical thinking through the high quality course content, innovative pedagogy and
continuous evaluation.
 Focus on skill development with courses such as leadership training, effective communication, motivational training,
business simulation, IT skills, training in statistical software like SPSS and ‘R’ which are integrated into the curriculum.
 Independent learning and peer learning through Seminar Paper in IV Semester, Research Paper in V and VI Semester and
live projects, which make students independent and creative learners.
 5 % of Economics Courses from second year, taken by Industry experts and compulsory summer internship every year,
give the students a competitive edge.

The students’ overall development is ensured through non-instructional activities like conferences, Economics Conclaves,
workshops, outbound activities and participation in, and organization of, Intercollegiate Sports, Economics and Cultural festivals.

The unique pedagogic innovations

The choice of pedagogic methods at the School of Economics is designed to keep the teaching learning process student-centric.
Non-classroom learning is an effective method where students seek and acquire knowledge outside the classroom rather than
having it ‘imparted’. Over and above classroom teaching, a lot of emphasis is placed on group learning.

 Group learning: Academic groups of 5-6 students would be encouraged to work in a group on an issue; where students
learn to research, discuss their findings with peers, negotiate their point of view and arrive at a conclusion.
 Games & Experiments: Learning by playing.
 Guest speakers and Panel Discussions: Interaction with industry experts.
 Workshops: Full day workshops on a wide range of academic and non-academic subjects.
 Film & Drama - Viewing socially relevant films & drama to build social sensitivity.
 Research projects – Primary and secondary research projects on socio-economic issues.
 Summer Internship – Summer training at the end of each year for a month
 Independent studies - Self learning through research in the final year

Co- Curricular activities

The emphasis is on the overall development of the student, not only in academics, but also in co-curricular activities. We believe
that in order to have a well-rounded personality and a balanced growth of intellect, co-curricular activities should be an integral
part of education.

 Association and Clubs: Students will be encouraged to form and head various associations and clubs to cater to diverse
interests. Managing these clubs will not only give a platform to nurture the students’ budding talent, but will also help them
to learn organizational skills and administration.
 Sports: Students will be actively encouraged to participate in sports and play individual or team games. This will help to
promote a healthier and more disciplined lifestyle and foster team-spirit among the students.
 Social Work: This is a forum which will help the students touch the lives of others and in the process; make a difference
to their own. Students will help the underprivileged and take on projects on a continuing basis. This will help students
become more socially conscious and responsible.

 2A M.Sc. Economics Programme

M.Sc. Economics
M.Sc. Economics is a rigorous and intellectually demanding course. It seeks to give relevant training thorough understanding of
the principles of economic theory and its applications in various fields along with an ability to think systematically about, and
apply quantitative methods to, economic problems. It provides a setting in which debate and research can flourish. It’s designed to
give those who aspire to a high-flying analytical career in economics the tools they will need to succeed. Students after this
programme will be able to access career opportunities in consulting companies, research centers, government departments,
international agencies, or in the financial sector. It is also excellent preparation for a Ph.D. programme

Programme Objectives:
1. To give students knowledge in the various fields of Economics and an in-depth understanding of the theoretical and
empirical constructs in the field of Economics.
2. To develop the ability to build and test economic models using advanced methods and sophisticated economic tools.
3. To stimulate analytical and critical thinking on the different economic issues.
4. To develop the capabilities of original and independent work, promoting excellence in thought and in action.
5. To develop the students’ ability to communicate their work through written and oral communication.
6. To give an understanding of elements important to members of another culture in relation to its history, values, politics,
communication styles, economy, or beliefs and practices.
7. To give the students a level of knowledge in economics to equip them to get employment in professional occupations or in
other Research focused roles.
8. Equip the students to pursue research and enroll in Ph.D. programmes.

The unique pedagogic innovations

The choice of pedagogic methods at the School of Economics is designed to keep the teaching learning process student-centric.
Non-classroom learning is an effective method where students seek and acquire knowledge outside the classroom rather than
having it ‘imparted’. Over and above classroom teaching, a lot of emphasis is placed on group learning.

 Group learning: Academic groups of 5-6 students would be encouraged to work in a group on an issue; where students
learn to research, discuss their findings with peers, negotiate their point of view and arrive at a conclusion.
 Guest speakers and Panel Discussions: Interaction with industry experts.
 Workshops: Full day workshops on a wide range of academic and non-academic subjects.
 Film & Drama - Viewing socially relevant films & drama to build social sensitivity.
 Research projects – Primary and secondary research projects on socio-economic issues.
 Summer Internship – Summer training at the end of each year for a month
 Independent studies - Self learning through research Paper, Capstone Project & Dissertation in the final year

Co- Curricular activities

The emphasis is on the overall development of the student, not only in academics, but also in co-curricular activities. We believe
that in order to have a well-rounded personality and a balanced growth of intellect, co-curricular activities should be an integral
part of education.

51
  Association and Clubs: Students will be encouraged to form and head various associations and clubs to cater to diverse
interests. Managing these clubs will not only give a platform to nurture the students’ budding talent, but will also help them
to learn organizational skills and administration.
 Sports: Students will be actively encouraged to participate in sports and play individual or team games. This will help to
promote a healthier and more disciplined lifestyle and foster team-spirit among the students.
 Social Work: This is a forum which will help the students touch the lives of others and in the process; make a difference
to their own. Students will help the underprivileged and take on projects on a continuing basis. This will help students
become more socially conscious and responsible.

2A.1 GENERAL ACADEMIC GUIDELINES for M.Sc. Economics

The two-year full time M.Sc. Economics program is a semester based program consisting of 4 Semesters across two years. Each
Semester will have 4 courses of Economics.

A student who has failed to fulfill the passing criteria as given above, will be required to appear for semester-end re-examination
which will be conducted immediately after declaration of results of the said regular semester-end examination. The internal marks
will be carried forward for the re-examination. A student must submit an online re-examination form. Such students who fail to
submit the form will not be allowed to appear for the re-examination. A student who has failed to fulfil the passing criteria of
Semester I courses after re-examination, will be allowed to attend the classes and appear at the examination/ re-examination of

A student will be promoted to the subsequent year of the programme only when he/ she has no F grade and/ or not more
than 2 D grades in the year after re-examination.

Grading System:

 The University follows a letter grading system leading to the award of a four-point Grade Point Average (GPA) for each
term and Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) for all the terms until date.
 ‘Letter grades’ and corresponding ‘grade points’ are as under:

Grade Points Class interval of marks

A+ 4 100% 85%

A 3.75 84.99% 81%

54
 A- 3.5 80.99% 77%

Calculation of GPA (Grade Point Average):

Grade point Average for a term will be computed by dividing, the sum of product of grade point of each course/subjects and
credit value assigned to each respective course by the sum of credits assigned to all the courses / subjects for the related term.

∑ CG
GPA
∑C

Calculation of CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average):

Cumulative Grade Point Average up to and including a term will be computed by dividing the sum of product of grade point of
each course / subject and credit value assigned to each respective course by the sum of credits assigned to all the courses /
subjects up to and including the related term till date.

∑ CG
CGPA
∑C

Here:
C = Credit value assigned to a course /subject
G = Grade point value assigned to a student for course / subject corresponding to the letter grade (refer table given)
GPA = Grade point Average shall be calculated for individual term and referred to as Semester/ Trimester Grade Point Average.
If a student has failed to fulfil passing standard under any head in any subject (i.e. ‘Semester/ trimester End Examination’ and/
