The NMIMS Deemed to be University, which began offering programs in Management, is enjoying international recognition as one of the leading institutions of Management training, has now established the "Sunandan Divatia School of Science” with a view to provide undergraduate and postgraduate students an opportunity to be a part of the unique learning methodologies of the University, which lays emphasis on academic excellence combined with industry oriented training.
The C. B. Patel Research Centre for Chemistry and Biological Sciences, a prime institution borne out of the foresight of the Shri Vile Parle Kelavani Mandal (SVKM) and its constant endeavour towards excellence in Science and Technology, has during the last 17 years not only established itself as a leading Research Centre but has also provided training to graduate students for manning posts in the Pharmaceutical industry, in para medical fields and more recently in clinical research organisations.
Considering the expertise available in the various disciplines of science at the C. B. Patel Research Centre, Mithibai College, D. J. Sanghvi Engineering College and N. M. College, the NMIMS Deemed to be University has established Sunandan Divatia School of Science, with a purpose to develop technically skilled manpower for industry. With the boom in information technology and more sophistication coming in the instrumentation techniques, there is now a very thin dividing line between the various disciplines of science. Therefore there is a greater need for flexibility in scientific thought as well as training manpower on an interdisciplinary plane. With this thought in view, the NMIMS Deemed to be University has introduced, three highly innovative and unique interdisciplinary courses at the Sunandan Divatia School of Science from the academic year 2007-2008.
