Finance and B.Sc. in Applied Statistics/Analytics, as well as Data Science at NMIMS Bengaluru, are unique, and industry-relevant.

I always vouch for work-life integration than a work-life balance. This way, you will be able to attain a better harmony. You should also always live by integrity, which is like the foundation of a 200-storey building. In everything that you do, be passionate. We should always be willing to unlearn to learn and learn to unlearn said Ms. Meenakshi Srinivasan, Director Partner, Glogal DevSeeOps Practice, IBM Consulting.

Karnataka state and the Eastern Corridor comprising other states are expected to benefit from these well-trained students, both MBA and BBA, B.Com., B.Sc. Economics and others. NMIMS' curriculum suits the best and is linked directly with the potential job market. As a major advantage, NMIMS produces well-trained manpower which reduces training costs for industry and employers.
