You will think this is a rant from a disgruntled person who didn’t manage to get admission in this college but please do read this before saying anything.


Before the SSC results it is a standard practice for every student to collect admission forms for many colleges and I did the same. I made no assumptions about my results and purchased the forms for many colleges including NM College. I managed to secure 75 pc marks in SSC but it was impossible for me to get an admission in NM College because the cut-off for this college was 80-85 pc every year. I should have made a conservative prediction about my result and never purchased the form for this college. But I had purchased the form now and my friend told me to go and submit it instead of just throwing it in the bin. I went to the college to submit the form, the person who was collecting the forms (who looked like a professor) started laughing and told me you will never get admission in this college and even if you do, bring me a box of chocolates. This comment was really rude and it was worst if it can from a professor. I had gone there to apply for admission and not beg for admission. It was right that I didn’t get very good marks but with my 75 pc I could manage to get admission in many good colleges. The person could have told me that it is difficult for me to get admission here and I should also apply to other colleges. This comment would have been much better and I would have taken it as a frank advice. If any student of their college fails will they laugh at him and give him rude comments.


Each year after the HSC and Mumbai University exam results we get to hear that many students from NM College came in the merit list and many of them got 85-90 pc. This is obvious and does not surprise me because most of the students in the college are academically inclined and have secured more than 85-90 pc in their lower examinations before they entered this college. Even Merit List holders of SSC are students of this college so it is but obvious that they will come in the merit list again. So, how does the college contribute to their success and marks? I was reading an interview of a topper from this college and she said in the interview that she went for coaching classes for most of her subjects. This shows that the teachers of the college do not do some extraordinary work and everyone from a topper to an average student has to take external help for the exams.


Another dirty practice of this college is that they do not give admission for B.Com course to their own students who have faired badly in their HSC exams. I do not know the exact numbers but I am 100 % sure that this happens. In HSC, the college has around 1100 seats and for B.Com course only 900 seats are available so what happens to the remaining 200 students? They are thrown out of the college like garbage, I do not know of any other college that has such limited number of seats in B.Com course that it cannot give admission to its own in-house students completely. These students go and seek admission in some other colleges.


I got admission in MMK College and I am happy with that and I am also happy with whatever marks I got in all my future exams. I believe that no college is great or best because all the colleges offering commerce courses in Mumbai are affiliated to Mumbai University and have the same curriculum. It is only that one brand is more popular than others. This is true for products and it is also true for colleges. I would have been satisfied even if I didn’t get admission in MMK College and did my graduation from an unknown college because in the end, all students get the same Mumbai University Certificate after they pass their exam which is signed by the Vice Chancellor. I have learnt that instead of running behind brand names it is better to concentrate on our studies and score well.
