Students are inspired to engage actively in seminars, workshops, and other field works conducted by the institution, that strengthen their basics and aid them to sew up hands-on training. The NIMS understands the accent of the continuous assessment system very precisely, and thus the students are evaluated throughout their course, not only based on their grades but also considering leadership, teamwork, and so on.

"œAll the existing faculty members are well experienced in their field and enough passionate about providing unparallel education to the students," shares Dr. K. Nanthini, Principal, Nehru Institute of Management Studies. As every class contains fast and slow learners, the teachers are benevolently versed to understand the student's individuality and provide them ample attention. The institute undertakes faculty development programmes to keep a track and updating the knowledge and performances of the teachers, and consequently recognize good performers annually by rewarding them. The institute not only encourages the teachers to undertake research works, but also urges the students to preneurship, are encouraged to study the existing trend in the market and identify the elements that influence businesses in the long term.

The advent of technology is not hidden to anyone and in order to cope up with this, the course module is ample to enlighten the students with social media marketing, emerging technologies, big data analytics and the booming need of innovation in business. Prior to this, the institute also takes sponsorship from EDII, Ahmedabad to conduct Entrepreneurship Awareness campaigns at the institute.
