NEP 2020

At SVKM’s NMIMS, NEP 2020 has been initiated from Academic Year 2024-25. NEP 2020 framework allows the opportunity to the students to experience the full range of holistic and multidisciplinary education in addition to a focus on the chosen major and minors as per their choices and the feasibility of exploring learning in different institutions.
