SVKM was founded in 1934 in the Vile Parle area of Mumbai with the aim of providing education to students in the locality. NMIMS was established by the trust in 1981 to provide a programme in management studies in the western region of India. The institute initially functioned as an affiliated institute of the University of Mumbai before being granted deemed-to-be university status by the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India, in 2003 under Section 3 of the UGC Act, 1956.
While the principal campus is located in Vile Parle, Mumbai, NMIMS has expanded to multiple campuses across India, including:
NMIMS functions through a number of constituent schools, each focused on a specific discipline. Key schools include:
Programmes range from undergraduate degrees through to doctoral research, with the MBA being the institution's most well-known offering. Admission to most undergraduate and postgraduate programmes is through the institute's own entrance test, the NMIMS Management Aptitude Test (NMAT), which is administered for management admissions.
NMIMS is considered one of the prominent private business schools in India and is regularly listed among the leading management institutes in national rankings. Beyond management, the institution has grown into a multidisciplinary university with a national footprint, and the NMAT entrance examination is also accepted by several other business schools in India and abroad through a version administered by GMAC (NMAT by GMAC).
