NMites are dyNMites - we used to use that slogan quite often, after a victory
at Malhar or the Youth festival. NM College is the best place to be.
Unlike Sydenham & HR - NM has more emphasis on academics - which shows! Over
90% of NMites get a 1st class in their HSC exams.
While unlike Poddar college - we have enough extra curricular activities to
interest the junta. Loads of clubs to keep the students busy:
The Advertising & Marketing Circle is the best amongst them - with a clear focus
and loads of activities around their area of interest. Prof. Seema Mahajan used to
overlook it but now things have changed. Then there is the Planning Forum,
The Speakers and Writers club, The English Literary Association plus loads
of other clubs like the Marathi Sahitya mandal, the Gujarati Sahitya mandal, etc.
A great canteen - I guess no college has it this big, with excellent south indian food.
Try the mysore masala dosa - it's really good.
Things were excellent when Prof. Urmila Rai was the principal of the college. And
Chatrabhuj Narsee was the President of the Kelavani Mandal (which is the trust under which
NM College was founded).
Miss those golden days of the college. NM has a fair share of the cool crowd & the geek crowd.
Loads of Jamnabites - which includes star kids like Tusshar Kapoor and Twinkle Khanna.
Loads of Utpalites, Maneckji Cooper kids, etc. Some of our famous alumni are -
Jagdeep Kapoor, Paresh Rawal, etc. (i'd say me - but i'm being modest! : )
Anyways, in all a great place to be.
Some professors who were really excellent in my times (i passed out in 1997) are:
Prof. Ameeta Vaidya, Prof. Manjiree Gondhalekar, Prof. Rodricks, Prof. Sooraniwala,
Prof. Seema Mahajan.
