Distance learning Courses offered by NMIMS were approved by the erstwhile Joint Committee of UGC-AICTE- DEC. Subsequently, its PG as well as Diploma programs have been approved by UGC - DEB. Its important to note that as per a notification by UGC it is declared that degree/diploma/certificate awarded by Open Universities in conformity with UGC notification of degrees be treated as equivalent to corresponding awards of the traditional universities in the country. Hence all these PG Diploma courses are considered equivalent to MBA by industry. There is almost no difference between PG Diploma courses in management and MBA but if we look at the basics, PGDM is a diploma awarded by autonomous institutions (most of the distance learning institutes offer diplomas instead of degree) whereas MBA is a degree program which is offered by a University or a College.

Feel free to comment if you have any doubt

Good luck

NMIMS MBA or PGDM is valid and approved by UGC DEB & AIU, Many students have also succefully verified this on WES portal.

Hello , 

As your query is you want to know that you have to fill the any empty form where you need to prefer 5 colleges and after that you want to know whether you have to fill the name of those five prefered colleges one second or except for the selected ones. 

The concept for re-applying for the preferences is just that in any case if you feel that you can go with some better options or you have found out then you can go with the earlier selected one, so there is not any such condition that you read need to repeat all the names provided with but you can go with some new colleges on you options as well. 

Thank you.

Hello Mahima,

Post
registration, you need to login with your login credentials to fill
the application form of NMAT. You would need to fill in your
personal information, contact information, education and work
experience, programme/school preference and additional information as
asked. Up to five programmes/ schools can be opted under the “School
Preference” section. Beyond five programmes/ schools, a payment of
Rs.200 + applicable tax will be applicable for each school/
programme. You would also need to upload your photograph. 

Hi Vijayalakshmi,

If you have completed your undergraduate degree studies in product designing then after the completion of the course you are a product designer and most likely would possess the knowledge and skills of the same. Similarly, B.Des is a course of humanizing technology and not product designing and thus they both won't be the same.

BEST WISHES!

NMIMS has got three campuses. The main campus is in Mumbai which requires a minimum score of 210 in NMAT exam and the average placements for marketing is somewhere between 10-12 lakhs per annum. 

The other two campuses are in Hyderabad and Bangalore and they require a cutoff of 208 in NMAT. But the placements there are not as good as the Mumbai campus. They have an average package of 6 lakhs per annum.
