NM College prepares students to imbibe knowledge and skills in their chosen fields. It is known to be a CA factory. The college is strict about their attendance. This sometimes becomes a problem for students who are working or doing internships along with their B.Com.

The course in Symbiosis aims to create an unusual program that has the potential to gain knowledge from theories and achieve practical skills, enhancing the student’s mind. It creates an intellectually stimulating environment for students. It does not have a strict rule about attendance which enables students to pursue jobs or internships while studying.

The table given below shows a brief overview of both the institutes:

Both colleges are equally good, there might be some differences in fees or faculty, batch size, etc. otherwise academically it is more or less the same. If the candidate is willing to be a part of Finance and Consultation, he or she should go for NM College.

Narsee Monjee College of Commerce and Economics and Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies is two completely different institutions. The common thing between them is that they are registered under the same trust names SVKM. 

• NM College is affiliated with Mumbai University whereas NMIMS is deemed to be a university. Both are very different. 
• NMIMS, being an autonomous institute, has its own syllabus and courses made and updated by itself. 
• NMIMS offers many courses with lots of changes in the syllabus like B.com (Hons.), BBA, B.sc, Finance, B.sc Economics for undergraduate and MBA and others for post Graduate. 
• NM College offers courses such as B.Com, Bachelors in Management Studies (BMS), Bachelors in Accounting and Finance (BAF), Bachelors in Financial Markets (BFM), and other postgraduate courses as well.

NMIMS has better academics because their courses and syllabus are regularly updated according to the response given by the students. They can update their syllabus however they seem fit but on the other hand, NMCCE is under Mumbai University which does not change its syllabus frequently and has outdated courses too. Moreover, the fee for NMIMS is way higher than NMCCE which is considered affordable.

Narsee Monjee College of Commerce and Economics, Mumbai has a very strict attendance policy of a minimum of 75% required overall. The college is however very strict for attendance and you need to follow the attendance rule. There is no way you can escape it.

However, the college does give some relaxation to students by bringing down the overall attendance to 50% and individual subject attendance to 25%. I would suggest you don’t ever fall below this mark. You will have to attend classes even at 7 AM in the morning to maintain at least 50% aggregate and 25% individual subject mark. If you are lucky enough then you can get away with proxies as I did. But you should not take this for granted as some professors are very strict about this.

Also, there is no special rule for those pursuing CA and CS courses along with attending the college. 

I would say that please do not get scared of the 75% attendance rule. The professors and the seniors may scare you with this but it eventually comes down to 50%.
