GetMyUni's Verdict on NIMS University

Parvathy Krishnakumar

“Students gain all sorts of knowledge from the university, except for the most important one, academical knowledge. If all the outside noise can be cut out to study by oneself and have money to spend, NIMS University is a good place for higher education.”

NIMS University, located in Jaipur, Rajasthan, has failed to provide a safe environment and curb the growing negative activities within the campus. Although they offer a plethora of programs, only MBBS programs have higher quality education and faculty members. 

The faculty and staff members are least bothered by the academics, combined with a money-minded management. This is not the place for those who intend to gain proper education and pursue a successful career in the field of their choice. 

On various online reviews in search portals, past students have said that taking admission to NIMS University was the worst decision they made, as it costed them tonnes of money and time. The university management refuses to listen to their students and provide below par academics. But they are very quick to yield fines from the students for petty issues.

Unless they have no other choice or backup plan, students are not recommended to join the university. If the only intention is to only get a sub par degree and have alot of money to spend, it is the best place.

Plethora of Courses

NIMS University offers numerous programs in undergraduate, postgraduate, diploma and doctorate levels. Additionally, the university also offers integrated programs for certain disciplines. The prominent fields in which different programs are available in the university are listed below.

• Engineering
• Law
• Business
• Journalism
• Humanities & Liberal Art
• Nutrition & Public Health
• Allied Medical Science & Technology
• Medical Sciences & Research
• Physiotherapy & Occupational Therapy.

Among the fields mentioned above, the Medical Sciences department is the most popular based on the faculties and curriculum. However, the recognition received for these programs have been questionable as the educational organizations have not accredited few of these programs. Apart from MBBS course, the university offers various specializations in DM/MCH and MD/MS programs such as follows. The institute also offers medical services in different departments that help students gain practical experience as they learn.

Alongside professional courses, the university also has diploma, undergraduate, postgraduate, integrated and doctorate programs offered through the School of Business.

Mixture of Quality in Faculty

As there are multiple departments in the university, the quality of the faculty members vary from courses to courses. For instance, according to online organic reviews of MBBS and B.Tech students, the faculty members are of great value who impart knowledge and are always willing to help those in need. Whereas, certain departments do not have educated or experienced faculty, like Psychology programs, thus lacking on the academic grounds.

There have been incidents where MBBS students were asked to teach BPT students due to the lack of teachers for the subjects. In addition to the less number of teachers, the highly qualified professors are engaged with the clerical or administrative work, which leaves them no time to even complete the syllabus. This leads to speeding up the process, and the students are forced to understand concepts through self-study.

Even though the university yields a lot of money from the students, the faculty members are severely underpaid, which causes the high quality professors to leave the university. Overall, the place is not right for those students who require proper teaching and clearing of doubts through their professors. Apart from the above mentioned issues, the professors have been accused of indulging in substance use or engaging with students inappropriately.
