It is also a great place to recruit potential young managers and business leaders. Leading companies across sectors
consider our students for recruitments/ internships.
NMIMS has a cordial relationship with the corporate world and 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 relationship and have
serious repercussions for placements and for the future.
12
NMIMS as a premier University of higher learning and the corporate world expects students to display high standards
of knowledge, capability and excellence. Recruiters also look for serious 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. It is the prerogative of the Schools to
decide, which of the programs this service should be offered.
The Placement Office of School 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 are 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.
13
7.2 Pre Placement Talk PPT
PPTs 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.
7.3 Internships/Projects
7.3.1 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.
7.3.2 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.
7.3.3 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 class room. This experience is of immense
use to students to enable them to acclimatize themselves to the intricacies of the corporate world.
7.3.4 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.
7.3.5 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.
7.3.6 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 PPOs/PPIs. NMIMS too encourages
candidates to work towards such offers that are based on internship performance.
7.3.7 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.
7.3.8 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.
14
Each of the Schools will be sharing to the batch, guidelines related to Resume, PPT, Internships, PPOs/PPIs,
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.

9.0 Feedback Mechanism:
9.1 The NMIMS has a well-established online feedback mechanism (through Blackboard) for communication of your
perceptions. The components of this feedback mechanism are:
9.1.1 Oral Feedback at the end of the third week of every trimester/Semester. Dean / Directors /Programme
Chairpersons/HOD will meet students personally.(if applicable)
9.1.2 Online Feedback 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.
9.2 All students should get involved in this mechanism seriously as it truly helps the NMIMS improve the quality of services
and teaching provided.
9.3 These are open ended questions in which student can reflect learning and teaching aspects of the course.
9.4 While sharing the feedback to the faculty members, students identity is kept confidential.
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
cant bear it if he is not in my life!
iii. I have lost my confidence I often compare myself with others and feel I am not as good as them
iv. Nobody understands what I am going through.people become judgemental instead of understanding
and supporting, .Whom to share it with?
v. Who will be able to really help?
Have you had such incidents where you are not able to cope up with the situation?
Or have reacted very harshly and then later realised that reacting to the situation was not really not needed and in the
process you damaged the understanding you had with your friends and family? But you just do not know what went
wrong then? Do not understand what triggered?
As normal social human beings at any given time in life we could go through difficult times and are confused as well
as not able to share our difficulties with others fearing their judging.at such times we recommend, personal Counselling.
Just as we visit the doctor or for the sprain but in case it turns into a fracture we may have to visit an orthopaedic surgeon
for an operation of the broken bone /fracture similarly for few mild issues we visit a psychologist and a counsellor and
for the same unattended long term issue which may have become chronic we may be asked to take an psychiatric
intervention as medicines would also help in creating relaxation and balance. Education alone does not allow us to
progress unless we learn to manage our emotions and remove the myths and miss-concepts of visiting a counsellor
(learnt in the past) instead relearn some more helpful and progressive facts.
Personal counselling is very important at every step in life even at the corporate levels. There could be a situation in our
lives when we are not able to cope with, example of a simple case given above. Such situations affect our subconscious
mind deeply which interferes our present conscious life and could not allow us to lead a healthy life. Consciously, we
do not realise the implications of our behaviour on others but it eventually could affect our events and relations in daily
life at home, in class, or at work. When the past emotional situations not dealt with therapeutically, we could develop
unhealthy negative thoughts and feelings which we need to be aware of like, I have no one to whom I can share my
personal issues, am I happy? Am I feeling lonely?, having sleepless nights?, such thoughts could again lead to
further anxiety and can release harmful hormones; which could affect our performance, decision making, logical
thinking, studies, relationships, career, and gradually affect our physiological health like hypertension, respiratory
ailments, gastrointestinal disturbances, migraine and tension headaches, pelvic pain, impotence, frigidity, dermatitis, and
ulcers
A counsellor is a non-judgemental friend who understands, ensures privacy and confidentiality of the client and counsels
17
you by giving choices so that you make the right decision. Counselling is based on realistic, structured and research
based study.
NMIMS does care about the students and thus have appointed a full time Clinical Psychologist and a counsellor,
MEETA SHAH, available on the 8th floor, Cabin:-West-855, NMIMS University, at the Mumbai campus for all the
students.

Introduction
Hyderabad is vulnerable to various natural and manmade disasters such as fire and industrial accidents, floods, chemical
26
(transport and handling), biological, and nuclear hazards, earthquake, cyclones, landslides, bomb blasts, terrorism, riots and
tidal surge due to its geographic conditions, industrial growth, increasing population density and squatter settlements have
increased Mumbais vulnerability to disasters.
The safety measures for a few disasters such as 1) Floods, 2) Earthquakes and 3) Fire in Mumbai are highlighted briefly in
this document.
20.1 Floods:
Floods in Hyderabad are attributable to simultaneous occurrence of rainfall and high tides. If the rainfall is in excess of
200 mm in a day (24 hrs), floods can occur anytime irrespective of tides. However, if there is moderate rainfall but the
tide is in excess of 4.50 meters at the same time, the city of Hyderabad is likely to get flooded.
Precautions to be taken in case of Floods1 are given in the Table 1 below as example.
Floods in Mumbai -Are we prepared this time? (2009). Retrieved April, 2010 from Deloitte Official Website:

20.2 Earthquake
Hyderabad is in the Seismic Activity Pro Zone which can experience quakes up to 5.7 on the Richter scale.

Our vision at NMIMS, Hyderabad has been and continues to be, to provide the nation with good
quality students who are industry ready and socially sensitive.

organizations. Entering its sixth year, the Institute remains deeply rooted to its commitment on building
a legacy of impacting quality of life in this region. A 90-acre State-of-Art NMIMS campus with world

As Innovation is essential to achieve progress in the modern world, we enjoy the flexibility to quickly
respond to rapidly changing global socio-economic conditions and efficiently adapt the best practices
of leading business schools, as we go beyond the regular academic curricula with emphasis on practice.
In NMIMS, we are doing things uniquely, continuously improving & reinventing PGDM
program, bringing it closer to international MBAs in which class room components are
around 32-33 credits, to achieve this, as a first step, we have brought down classroom
component to 37 from 42 credits for the batch 2016 -18. Electives & Specializations have
been made choice based basket system, some electives are truly integrated in nature among
various areas, thus, providing more choices to students to go for their interests. Students
have more opportunities from action learning programs driven by case-study method, business
simulation and value added workshops, live projects and certification programs etc. V a l u e added
workshops from varied areas help students to develop critical thinking, analytics, communication,
project management and leadership skills.
Students have been organizing the prestigious TEDx Event, Corporate Conclaves, CEO weeks, Model
UN and regular guest lectures, Spic Macay musical concerts, independence-day celebrations and
Coffees with Alumni. The Student Social Responsibility committee has contributed towards Chennai
Flood Relief Fund & Orphan schools out of the earnings generated by them through a unique Money
Mantra events. We Care projects (known as Winter Internships) have been regarded very highly by
social sector organizations in the city. Online e-newsletter iNMs has been news sharing platform for
students group. Institutes mega event NIRVAHANA, inter B-School festival is a premiere event in
which almost all IITs, IIMs, SPJAIN, MDI, IMT, Symbiosis, BIMTECH, XLRI, XIMB etc. have been
participating regularly.
Our proactive faculty have been participating in national & international conferences, workshops,
training programmes, FDPs on regular basis. They are encouraging and mentoring our students to do
the same. NMIMS is the first university in India having fully implemented Blackboard Learning
Management System (BBLMS) Worlds the most popular digital learning system, its for every
activity for faculty & students in the campus.
After successful International Student Exchange programs, National Research conclaves and AICTE

2. Any other Academic/general inputs, Rules Policies at school level
2.2.2 The academic administration consists of the team of Deputy Director, Program Chair, Faculty
& Course coordinators, supported by administrative staff.
2.2.3 Sometimes re-scheduling of sessions may become necessary, depending upon unforeseen
factors.
2.2.4 Generally the macro schedule is prepared for a trimester and the micro schedule for the
subsequent week is shared with the students by end of current week.
2.2.5 The features of learning management system (Blackboard) are utilized for better communication
between the faculty and students.
2.2.6 The students are provided necessary access to all the facilities, services and resources.
2.2.7 An opportunity is given to provide a feedback on the teaching learning process through the
Blackboard. This facilitates a proper mechanism for review and monitoring of the academic
activity.
2.2.8 The attendance and leave guidelines are mentioned under 3.0 of Part I also applicable to the
program PGDM (Executive).
2.2.9 Credit structure followed at the school for the programs is mentioned under 4.1 of Part-I.
2.2.10 The broad components of evaluation for any course / subject may be as follows: The
suggestable total points for each individual component may not be more than as shown below.
2.2.12 The students are required to attend the sessions in the respective division / section as specified
by the School for every trimester. Any violations will be dealt severely as decided by the Director.
2.2.13 Industry Analysis / Project / Viva / Dissertation submission timelines specified by the
University as per the academic calendar are final and non-negotiable. 1 day delay in submission results
to 1 letter grade down from the original grade; 2 days delay in submission results to 2 letter grades
down from the original grade; 3 days delay in submission
40 results to 3 letter grades from original grade.
Post that an F grade will be awarded and the work submitted needs to be resubmitted with the
subsequent batch after seeking necessary approvals from the Director.
In continuation to the re-admission rules explained in Part I of this SRB, the maximum duration
permissible for completion of the programme (in years) are mentioned in the table below:
With respect to the academic break mentioned in 12.4 of Part-I, the following point needs to be
kept in consideration for the PGDM (Executive). Not more than two academic breaks will be
allowed where the total period of both the breaks doesnt exceed sixteen months subject to the
Directors approval. Post the academic break the student has to seek admission in the same
trimester (which he / she discontinued) of the next immediate batch.
Participants of the PGDM (Executive) program are working executives (with over 3 years of
experience). Many of the participants are working with reputed companies and are subject to the
demands of a high pressure professional life involving heavy work load, frequent travel within
and outside the country. While they take up the program to upgrade their skills and advance their
careers, they have to contend with the challenges of not being able to complete it at one go.
Sometimes, there are other personal and excruciating family circumstances that come on the way.
In view of the above, participants are often forced to temporarily take a break from studies. Many
such participants would like to continue their studies and rejoin the program after their transfer /
stint abroad or other exigency is complete. As an institute interested in promoting Executive
Education, NMIMS needs to look into this aspect and make a customer policy friendly so that the
basic objective of advancement of learning of executives is achieved.
This policy note covers, the circumstances under which PGDM (Executive) participants who
leave the program midway will be allowed to rejoin in another batch and the administrative rules
that would encompass their rejoining and continuance.
The participant shall provide relevant proof41to substantiate one of the cases as may be applicable.
Long leave of absence is granted on application by the concerned participant and
shall be duly approved by the Director. Thus, if a participant takes a break without
applying for leave of absence, he/she will have to take fresh admission and start
from Trimester-1.
Rules for Readmission/ Batch Transfer:
o At NMIMS, Hyderabad generally two batches per year are launched and
during a year, batches are in various stages of the academic cycle right
from Trimester-1 to Trimester-5.
o Participants who have been granted long leave of absence can get re-
admitted to the program later, subject to the following conditions:
o In case the participant takes leave from the program after having completed
a particular trimester, he/she will be allowed to rejoin the next trimester
with a batch that will be available in the immediate future for the particular
trimester.
o In case the participant leaves a trimester midway, he/she has to repeat the
trimester on rejoining with a batch that is undergoing the particular
trimester.
o Rejoining will be only allowed subject to the participant completing the
program in 36 months from the date of original joining. Thus, if a
participant has completed 2 trimesters and quits midway through the 3rd
trimester, he/she has completed 10 months. On rejoining, the participant
will have to start with the 3rd trimester and complete Trimesters 3, 4 and 5
(over another 12 months) that is within a period of 26 months (cap of 36
months minus 10 months) from the original joining date in Trimester 1. In
other words, he can be granted leave of absence only for a maximum of 14
months (26-12).
o While taking a decision on re-admission, NMIMS will take into
consideration, the participants track record including attendance as well
as academic performance.
2.3.3 Re-Admission fees: Fees/instalments paid are not refundable. In case a participant leaves
the program midway and re-joins later, while taking re-admission to the program, the participant
shall pay:
An amount calculated as Total fee as per the prevailing fee structure at the time of re-admission
minus fees already paid. In case the participant has left a trimester midway, the cost of the
tuition fees plus food expenses incurred for the sessions attended in the Trimester shall be
proportionally recovered while calculating the above amount
In continuation to the Discipline Norms and Penalty explained in Part I of this SRB, the names of
committee members are as follows:
The Corporate relations team of NMIMS, Hyderabad facilitates the process of final placements by creating
an interface between the recruiters and the students of the PGDM Program. Student must honor the
commitment made by NMIMS, Hyderabad on their behalf. In the event of non-conformance to the
placement rules and procedures, NMIMS, Hyderabad reserves the right to initiate corrective action.
Efforts to market the PGDM program with its merit, is made by the Placement Office with the endeavor
to get companies to recruit across specializations. However the final call rests with the companies regarding
candidates eligibility criteria and the decision is honored by NMIMS, Hyderabad. Therefore, the
selection process specified by the company will be followed.
The Final Placements are conducted on a rolling basis. Companies/recruiters are invited to the campus to
participate in the process. This process of sending out invitations to the companies continues up until
March, 2018 or until the entire batch (excluding opt outs) are successfully placed, whichever is early.
Placement Guidelines:
NMIMS follows a 1 student 1 offer policy. Each student is entitled to only one offer.
Students with CGPA score 2.75/4 and above end of Trimester 4 are only considered to be eligible to
participate for Placement process with no D & F grades in other trimesters.
Each student will have the opportunity to attempt a maximum of 5 interviews in their core specialization
and 5 in their cross specialization (For Ex: Finance specialization students can appear for marketing
role if allowed by the recruiter). If he/she is not able to convert the opportunities into an offer, the
candidate will be considered out of the placement process. It will be at the discretion of the Director for
any further assistance to be provided to the student on a generosity basis, only.
A student is considered opted out of placements, if he/she does not apply consecutively to 3 companies
under their major specialization.
Students are expected to attend all the training programs, interview preparatory sessions, guest lectures
and any mock assessments conducted by the Corporate Relations team without fail. Strict disciplinary
action will be taken against defaulters as decided by the Director.
Students who have prior work experience need to submit the Form16 or Last pays lip of their
organisation.
Students have to be open and willing to work across Pan India.
Placement Process:
Applications are invited based on the eligibility criteria regarding programs, academic qualifications,
work experience etc. indicated by the company for the students to register for the placement drive.
After registration the list of interested students will be shared with the companies.
43
Depending on the convenience companies will either call students to their premises or come down to
our campus. The selection process will be held on campus or in some cases the student may have to go
to the Companys office for the same. The student will not be able to back out on this account.
Companies generally share details of the job offering beforehand while many give a general idea about
the opportunity or Pre-placement talk on the day of the campus. Students must be aware of the
organization and the role being offered before applying.
All the students are supposed to plan for their interview. They should prepare for selection process,
besides read the instructions and Job Description (JD) carefully. Students should not go with any
confusion on JDs and should not debate with Placement team and argue with the Recruiter. If they
have any specific queries it can be routed through Placement Dept., or can be communicated
appropriately during the Pre-placement Talk by the said Recruiter.
Students participating in Campus recruitment process initiated by the Institute, should not convey any
comments on the Company and the profile offered. If they do not like any profile or any other role
offered they should politely ask for some time to think and first discuss with the Placement Dept.,
instead of expressing it directly with the Company HR/Official taking the Interview that, Company
profile is not good and nobody is interested in your Company, the role offered is not good etc. The
Director of the institute is liable to take disciplinary action against such students, including debarring
from Placement process.
Students are expected to be mobile, and have the capability to adjust and respond to emergent situations
successfully. Sometimes companies might add/remove/modify the selection process. Students must
always be ready to face challenges in such scenario.
Companies would be encouraged to give spot offers. Once a student is offered a job he/she would be
out of the placement process and will not be eligible to take up any subsequent job offers.
Offers made by the companies during the placement process cannot be rejected. Thus, students are
expected to make informed decisions about applying to a company.
In extremely rare cases if a student gets multiple job offers simultaneously, the placement office will
take a call and the student will have to accept one offer and reject the other on the spot.
Students have to participate in all selection process for which they have been shortlisted. In stray cases
if a student fails to attend any selection process, he must submit an application regarding the same.
Only if the reason is found valid and approved by the competent authority, the student will be given
further chance to appear for other processes.
In case the student deliberately creates problems at a later stage (Deliberate attempt to ruin the
interview, applying and not attending the company interview, negotiating packages/location), he/she
will be liable for disciplinary action. This could include even debarment from placements.
It is mandatory to submit photocopy of Offer letter to Placement Officer. Students must also inform
their Joining status to the Placement Officer.
In case a student wishes to opt out of the placement process, he/she must submit a letter to the placement
office and must officially sign out of the placement process.
A candidate has to withdraw from the final placement process if he/she is keen to seek an opportunity
on his/her own. The student needs to seek the approval of the Placement Office i.e. submit the Opted
Out Form duly completed with the names of such companies and other details where he/she is trying.
The reason being to iron out any hitches that may crop up later. The Placement Office approaches many
companies and would like to continue the cordial relationship with them. Thus if one wants to opt out,
he should do so before the entire process begins. However, if one has already applied to companies and
awaiting further course of action, then the student will have to participate in the selection process.
If one wants to opt out, he/she will be allowed to opt out only subject to the following conditions:
a. He/she is not already placed in any other company44 through campus.
b. He/she is not part of any companys recruiting process (on campus) at any point in time.
c. If one has already applied to companies outside campus then he/she needs to inform the placement
executive and will be out of Placements. Failure to meet these requirements may result in a disciplinary
action against the candidate (maybe even withholding the degree of the candidate).
After opting out, the student will not be allowed to re-enter the placement process at a later stage.
As a policy, NMIMS Hyderabad encourages candidates to work towards PPOs in order to strengthen
the executive placements.
Pre-placement offers made by the companies have to be routed through the Placement Office.
If the candidate accepts the offer made he/she has to sign out of the placement process and will not be
eligible to apply during final placements.
It is the Students choice whether he/she wishes to accept or reject the PPO offer. However, the student
has to decide on acceptance or rejection on within 24 hours or a company specified earlier date.
Students getting PPO/PPI offer directly from the companies are required to convey the same to the
Placement office via a formal letter or a mail to the Placement Executives. Student found to be
deliberately withholding such PPO/PPI offer, will be subject to disciplinary action.
The same has to be communicated in writing to the Placement office. In case a student fails to inform
the Placement office before the appointed date he/she would be considered to have accepted the PPO.
Placement Team will try to ensure that all companies desiring to make a PPO offer does the same before
the deadline; however any PPO offer made after the deadline will result in automatic rejection if the
student is already placed in the Lateral/Executive placements by the time the offer is made.
If the company makes an offer after the deadline and the student is still not placed, he/she will have to
decide whether to accept or reject the PPO within 24 hours of being informed.
In case of acceptance of the PPO, the student would not be eligible to participate in the
Lateral/Executive Placement Process.
For a Pre Placement Interview (PPI), the student MUST sit for the same. Student rejecting a PPI will
not be allowed to appear for any further placement process. In case of a conversion to a PPO, the PPO
policy would be applicable.
PPOs / PPIs which are officially communicated to the Placement Committee by the company will be
considered for the records. Only those students would be eligible to mention the same on their resumes.
No other student can mention PPO/PPI of his or her own accord.
In case a candidate rejects a PPO, the following future course of action would be applicable to the candidate:
The candidate must give a reason for rejecting the PPO (salary/profile).
A candidate can reject a PPO based on salary only if the offered salary is less than INR 5 Lacs.
In case the candidate refuses the PPO on the basis of salary, the candidate will only will be allowed to
sit for further company processes where the company offers INR 6.5 Lacs (CTC) or higher than the
salary being offered by the PPO company.
In cases where the candidate refuses the PPO on the basis of profile (e.g. Marketing, finance, HR etc.),
the candidate will not be allowed to take part in any further processes of companies offering the same
profile.
No cases of location preferences will be entertained. If a candidate rejects a PPO based on location
preferences, he/she will be considered opted out of the placement process and not be eligible to sit for
any further processes on campus. 45
Any other extremely rare cases where reasons apart from the above are given, the final authority will
rest with the Director, NMIMS, Hyderabad or some other competent authority after hearing the case
plea.
Any other cases not covered in the above will not be entertained and the student will be required to
either accept the PPO or opt out of the placement process.
Post Selection:
A student getting interviewed and receiving an offer will be precluded from attending any further
interviews.
All students are obliged to adhere to the recruiters timeline to accept a job offer and submit their
acceptances ONLY through the corporate relations team.
Placement Compulsory Sessions/ Pre Placement Talks (PPTs)/ Placement led Guest Lectures
These are an important part of the entire placement exercise and will be held at regular intervals. The
case of no attendance in the same, the Director of the institute is liable to take disciplinary including
debarring from placements.

1.2.6 Guidelines for compulsory courses that are delivered in workshop mode
(Credit / non-credit)
A student should obtain Satisfactory grade after successful completion of
the workshop / course. It is imperative that students are assessed based
on the broad components of evaluation as mentioned in 2.2.10 of Part II.
3.3.1 Method of calculation of letter grades for batch size of 25 and above
3.3.1.2 Wherever the course is taught by more than one faculty in multiple divisions:
3.3.1.2.1 The Average of marks obtained by the candidates in a course (internal
continuous assessment + trimester end examination) for a batch would
be calculated for each faculty
3.3.1.2.2 Grand Average of marks obtained by the candidate for each course
(internal continuous assessment + trimester end examination) of the
batch would be calculated.
3.3.1.2.3 Factor Score using individual average and grand average obtained
above would be calculated as grand average divided by average for a
faculty.
3.3.1.2.4 The marks assigned by each faculty to the individual student for each
course would be factorized.
51
3.3.1.2.5 The above factorization would be done by multiplying the marks
assigned by the faculty to each student for that course by the factor
score for the course obtained as above for respective division/s.
3.3.1.2.6 Combining all factorized marks of the entire batch (all divisions) for the
course sharing common paper, normal distribution would be fitted.
3.3.1.2.7 For the purpose of assigning grades, the following table would be used.
3.3.2 Method of calculation of letter grades for class size of less than 25
3.3.2.1 For the calculation of grades, the following guidelines would be observed:
3.3.2.1.1 Maximum marks assigned by the faculty concerned for a course will be
taken into account for the batch / group.
3.3.2.1.2 Difference between the maximum marks and 50 marks would be
calculated
3.3.2.1.3 The said difference will be equally divided into slabs of nine letter
grades (i.e. A+, A, and A-, B+, B, B- and C+, C, and C-)
3.3.2.1.4 D grade will be assigned to students, who have obtained marks
between 40 and 49.
3.3.2.1.5 F grade will be assigned to students, who have obtained marks less
than 40 and / or to the students whose marks in the trimester end
examination are less than one-third of the total maximum marks of the
trimester end examination of the respective course.
3.3.2.1.6 Grading will be done on the basis of marks obtained by a student in each
course which will be fitted into the above slabs of letter grades. Here A
will include A+, A and A-, B includes B+, B, and B- C includes C+, C,
and C- as given above, while calculating the letter grades for each
course of the students:
3.3.2.1.7 In case of elective courses, the number of students for that course would
be considered for the purpose of assigning grades for that course.
3.4 Different grade points corresponding to the grades awarded are as follows:
Here:
3.7 Re-Examinations
3.7.1 The written re-examination for all the Students of first year (in case of FT-PGDM)
and first and second years who have obtained D or F grade (as per rules of
passing standards) will take place after the specific academic year ends but before
the commencement of the next academic year. The maximum grade that a Student,
in such a case, can obtain for such course will be C+.
3.7.2 The written re-examination for all the Students of final years of all the programs of
SBM who have obtained D or F grade (as per rules of passing standards) will
take place before convocation. The grade that a Student, in such a case, can obtain
for such course will be C+ or actual whichever is lower.
3.7.4 Re-examination would not be allowed if any student had obtained D or F grade
due to poor attendance.
3.7.5 Improvement in the internal marks will not be allowed for re-examination purpose.
3.7.6 If a student fails in project, one attempt is allowed to re-submit the project. However
the re-submission should happen prior to re-examination scheduled for the academic

3.8.1.3 In case a Student fails to fulfill conditions given in the above even after the re-
examination/s he/she is expected to take re-admission as per the rules of
SBM, NMIMS.
3.8.1.4 No further re-examination change will be given to above mentioned
exceptional cases.
3.8.2 In order to receive the degree, diploma, certificate, the Student will have to clear in all
the examinations of all the years. Student should ensure that he / she has cleared his /
her all dues from the respective departments like accounts, library, hostel etc.,

Comprehensive Project Guidelines (CBA)
General Guidelines:
This should be a more comprehensive and rigorous project than the course related projects that you have done before
(where you might have taken a dataset and tried out different techniques related to the course).
The project should have a purpose/ objective. For example: you may try to solve a problem that has significance in
the industry, society and so on.
The project work should be your own original research work. This should not be repetition of any work already
available in the literature or repetition of other projects already done by you during your coursework.
Your project report should have the following sections. The details of each section are provided below.
Abstract/Executive Summary: A short summary of what you did, why you did it, what you found and why this matters.
Introduction & research question(s): This explains what your research is about, why it is important and lists the research
questions you are trying to answer.
Literature Review: This section provides the foundation for your research. What does the peer reviewed literature say
about the topic, what information is there in other reports and papers? You should also describe similar studies and what
they found. How is your work different from other similar reports/ papers?
Methodology: How are you going about conducting your research (explained in enough detail so someone else could repeat
it)?
This section should include the following details - method of data collection, source of data, data extraction process (if
applicable), data cleaning process, detailed description (business meaning) of the data fields.
This section should also describe your hypothesis in technical terms, data analysis methods used (ex: time series forecasting,
PCA, multiple linear regression etc.). The proposed data analysis methods should be backed by strong reasons based on
intuition and theory.
Results: This section should summarize what you found and highlight the most significant aspects of your findings. You
may use tables and diagrams (if necessary) to demonstrate your findings.
Discussion and conclusion: Here is where you describe the importance of your findings, the strengths and weaknesses of
your study, areas for further investigation by someone else or you in the future, etc. Your concluding pages should highlight
the main implications (for industry/ business/ society) of what you found.
References: Reference your work appropriately, throughout the document and in your bibliography. Its OK to use a footnote
or endnote style of reference. You must include a citation in every sentence that includes information sourced from an article
or other reference. You cant just put a citation at the end of a paragraph.
For example: Multi-criteria methods are not based on monetary valuations like cost-benefit analysis, but on a more general
weighting system (Kiker et al. 2005). The weighting system reflects preferences about the importance of differing outcomes
such as environmental protection, economic efficiency or social well-being (Harte and Lonergan 1995; Leung 2006).
You can use any of the different "styles" listed although you are urged you to use APA or Chicago. These are the two most
common styles. 70
Referencing correctly is important for two reasons: (1) to give your own arguments greater weight by supporting them with
references from peer reviewed journals and other sources; and (2) to acknowledge the source of a fact and/or other writers'
thinking and the influence they have had on you. The 2nd area is where students often run into plagiarism issues when they
get lazy about citing properly.
Please note that improper references/ missing references will be strictly penalized.
All podcast and videos must have a script that is referenced appropriately and in the recorded version appropriately
acknowledges the contribution of others.
Appendices: Here is where you put additional information, questionnaire used to collect data, details and results that are too
long to include in the main text or are of less relevance to your key findings.
Writing style Guidelines:
This should be a professional document. Refer to writing guides such as Strunk and Whites Elements of Style. Proofread for
spelling and grammar again and again and again. If you are a poor writer, you may need to have the final draft of your
paper professionally edited. You will likely need to do at least 2 drafts before finalizing your product.
Evaluation Guidelines:
You need to submit your final project report in word document format along with raw data file used for analysis and
analysis output file.
You also need to make a project presentation before the faculty of the institute and one external industry expert.
The project report will carry 40% weightage.
Project Deadlines:
Steps Date (to be specified separately) Comments
Submission of Project titles, You need to submit this over
objectives, data requirements email.
