Controversies

* NMIMS was barred by the University Grants Commission from offering distance learning and online courses in February 2023 for offering Online courses without UGC approval. Some other reasons include inadequate faculties and non-teaching staff, and low quality of Self-learning Material. However, the ban was lifted in August 2024 after NMIMS complied with the norms.
