The Audio Interactive Language Lab
NMIMS has pioneered the initiative of scientifically assisting students in preparing for Group Discussions or Job Interviews by developing an Audio Interactive Language Lab on the campus. This move is mainly directed towards making the students display the right internal personality driven message to their recruiters during a corporate placement, group discussions or interviews that are lining-up in the campus. This is how the system functions: The teacher records and makes a master lesson with as many copies possible. The student does all his work on this pre-recorded tape copy. On playing back, the student gets the teacher’s voice followed by his own, giving him an instant comparison of his performance with the model. There are separate audio consoles in which clusters of students are seated in demarcated boxes to conduct the practice sessions. So an original tape with the teacher’s voice, the copies with the student’s voice and the headphones for comparison arrive as the obvious audio instruments to learn the dictums in communication like a song.
 

Computer Centres:

 
The Computer Centres are equipped with branded 60 branded personal computers adequately supported by 4 MBPS leased line for Internet connectivity. They are also equipped with a wide range of licensed system software and applications software. The entire campus is connected with Wi-Fi network.

Integrated Institute Management System

 
NMIMS has deployed an integrated Institute Management System designed to track and manage the day-to-day activities of the NMIMS. It is a complete automated administration solution designed to enhance the productivity of staff through automated and integrated processes.

This system acts as an Online Transaction Processing system able to handle large volumes of data as well as a Management Information System that provides the much-needed management reporting.

The system covers the modules such as student and registration, employee/faculty details, attendance recording and reporting, time-table/schedules, examination and results, library management, integrated accounts/inventory, payroll, purchase and fixed assets.

The most significant benefit of this system has been the creation of a central repository of data on students, faculty, staff, programs and courses which can be seen by those who have the access rights.
The Road ahead
All these initiatives have placed the NMIMS on a maturity level where it can expand to a new horizon and act as a model for the Indian academic institutions. The journey has just started; new vistas have opened new challenges of organizing, filtering, processing and preserving the enormous information and knowledge. The NMIMS has already put in place a plan to implement a Learning and Content Management system to manage the vast knowledge and create an online learning environment. Once this last leg of modernization gets accomplished, it has a potential to generate numerous knowledge hubs within the current framework. These hubs once synergized possess the power to accelerate knowledge capture and dissemination, thereby enabling NMIMS to compete in the global environment.
