Nirma Education and Research Foundation (NERF) was established in 1994 by the well known industrialist and philanthropist Dr. Karsanbhai K. Patel with a view to promote and support higher education in India.

At the NIM, we believe in excellence, which originates in creativity, enterprise and industry. This philosophy drives our pedagogy and curriculum. The preceding batches of our alumni have proved their mettle in the tough grind of the corporate world. Their success could be attributed to the rigour and grit of the two years at the NIM. With emphasis given to not only the fundamentals of academics, but also all-round development of the individual, the student when he walks out of these doors is no longer a student, but an executive toughened to take on the battles of the corporate world.

The programme has been so structured as to incorporate the fundamentals and specifics of business management. The student is taken through simulation of the corporate world, through a series of case studies, lectures, role plays, group and individual projects. These exercises build camaraderie among the students which is so essential in relationship management.

The members of the faculty are highly experienced and skilled in their fields of expertise. Most of them have considerable contacts with the industry and academia which allows them to bring the bigwigs for guest lectures. The classrooms are connected to the LAN network and equipped with LCD projectors thus aiding the faculty members with their presentations and lectures.

Information and knowledge are the keys to success in this highly competitive business world. The Library Resource Centre (LRC) is the jewel in the crown of the NIM. It includes a wide range of management literature, providing an extensive access to leading national and international business periodicals and an impressive collection of business databases in addition to corporate annual reports and CDs. Besides each room of the hostel is networked with LAN and has access to the Internet (512 KBPS leased line).

The schedule is rigorous and at times heart-breaking. NIMites have always found their wings to tide over these feeling by organizing various events on a regular basis. The events could be management games or downright 'let your hair down' dance parties. The students always get together to celebrate the various festival thereby fostering a sense of home and family. Various clubs like the HR Club, Niche (Marketing Club), Finnesse (Finance Club) provide the sparks of creativity and initiative.

In the hustle-bustle of corporate life, one tends to forget the less-privileged of the society. The NIM cares, and our students are expected to undertake social projects with various NGOs and non-profit social organizations. This is an eye-opener to most students as working with the less privileged makes one realize how lucky one is to be normal and healthy.

Well, here comes the part you have been eager to read, Placements. NIM has maintained a near 100% placement record for the last few years. The Alumni have moved on with their lives and it is with great pride, we say most of them are doing very well in their lives.

The PGPM programme is a difficult game to play, but if you feel you have it in you to stand the test of fire and come through stronger, this is the place to be!
