WHAT TEACHING METHODS ARE USED IN THE NIME MBA PROGRAM?
The philosophy of NIME MBA Program is that one size definitively does not fit all. Throughout the entire MBA Program, teaching methods will vary by course—and by topic within each course—to provide the most effective learning environment. Our faculties determine whether to use lectures, discussions, case studies, computer simulations, group projects, presentations by business leaders, or combinations of methods to deliver the best education experience.

NIME HAS A COOPERATIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT, SO WHAT IS THE ROLE OF GRADES IN THIS CULTURE?
One of NIME's distinguishing characteristics is the collaborative learning environment. However, you need benchmarks for measuring your performance, and knowing the degree to which you have mastered the course material. Grades are never publicly released; each student "owns" his or her grades. Although NIME students work hard to learn and stretch themselves, they collaborate with one another to maximize their learning opportunities.

HOW DOES THE NIME MBA TEACH LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT SKILLS?
Business schools are about leadership, whether you choose to make a difference in the profit, not-for-profit, or public sector. You will learn about articulating a direction, and having a sound business strategy that includes effectively managing your physical, capital, and human resources.

NIME is a place where you learn frameworks for organizing the complexities of management problems, thus preparing you to make a significant impact in the world. You learn about leadership through discussions of case studies in which you can assess the behaviors of organizational leaders, by listening to executives speak about their successes and failures, and through the practical experience of initiating and coordinating events and activities here at the Business School. Through the combination of both theory and practice, they develop specific skills and frameworks on how to build teams, how to work with others, and how to lead people towards a goal.

WHAT IS THE STRUCTURE OF THE NIME MBA PROGRAM? HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO COMPLETE THE NIME MBA EDUCATION?
It takes two years (or six academic quarters) of full-time study to complete the MBA education. First year of the program consists primarily of general management requirements and the second year of the program is made up primarily of academic electives. You are not required to declare a major field of study to graduate from the MBA Program, but rather may choose among a wide variety of business courses to complete the degree requirements.

Virtually all classes are offered during the week from Monday to Friday, timings 8.00A.M. - 5.00P.M. While classes are not often scheduled on Wednesdays, there are other academic commitments on Wednesdays, including exams, lab sessions, NIME courses, guest speakers, and NIME classes.

HOW DO YOU COMPARE NIME TO OTHER SCHOOLS? WHERE DOES NIME RANK?
We are able to answer questions about the NIME MBA Program. We cannot, however, help you with comparisons of other schools. We are not experts in those programs. We encourage you to learn as much as possible about all programs in which you have an interest and make the comparison once you have all of the facts in hand.

The National Institute of Management Excellence is voted the most contemporary Business School in India. Rankings can vary depending on the particular focus of the surveys and the participants who are surveyed. Most rankings are promoted by media publications rather than educational institutions, so we suggest that you research each institution of interest rather than relying solely on rankings for such an important decision.

With the highest career services staff-to-student ratio among peer schools, we help you develop a career vision, make strategic career decisions and build a strong foundation for continuous career and life management.

WHAT IF I DON'T HAVE STRONG QUANTITATIVE SKILLS? CAN I STILL APPLY?
Yes. NIME admits individuals with strong potential to become leaders of organizations; and leadership requires a broad range of skills. Your background may, however, place a larger responsibility upon you to prepare for the program ahead of time. We will help you identify ways to prepare before you come to NIME.
Once you arrive at NIME, you will receive ample support and guidance in customizing the curriculum based on your background and objectives. Free tutoring is also available through our Student Life Office, and our students often work together in syndicate groups to help each other through the tougher quantitative areas and in preparing for exams.

HOW MANY YEARS OF FULL-TIME WORK EXPERIENCE DO I NEED TO EVEN BE CONSIDERED FOR ADMISSION?
Work experience is not required for entry to the NIME MBA program. Your quality of experience is much more important than quantity. We will focus on the degree to which you take advantage of opportunities to develop professional and leadership skills, regardless of your experience level.
We accept students with all types of experience as well as students who enroll directly from an undergraduate program with no full-time work experience. Admission may be granted to college seniors and early-career professionals who present superior academic credentials and truly outstanding evidence of leadership through extracurricular and community activities.

HOW MANY PEOPLE DO YOU ADMIT? HOW MANY FROM MY COUNTRY? HOW MANY FROM MY INDUSTRY?
The specific number and types of candidates admitted each year will vary and will also depend on the applicant pool at the time. There are no quotas or targets for any group. The one constant is that it will always be based on those who will contribute to a stimulating, diverse educational experience. While we consider gender, ethnicity, nationality, and personal, professional, and academic experiences, among other aspects, we ultimately admit individuals and not categories of people.
