Over a week after students of the Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies (NMIMS) alleged that the institute’s new “strict” assessment policy has led to many students failing, the management has decided to conduct a special exam for students who did not perform well in the previous one.

In a statement issued by the institute, Dr Ramesh Bhatt, Vice Chancellor at NMIMS stated, “Over the last two months, we have been interacting with students and parents about their academic performance in the first term of 2022–23. We have been exploring various options available to us so that the students’ careers are not affected, and, at the same time, the sanctity of the examination system is not compromised.”
