Narsee Monjee College of Commerce and Economics (popularly called N.M.College) is a leading college affiliated to Mumbai University. It was established in 1964 by Shri Vile Parle Kelavani Mandal (SVKM), a professionally managed trust with a large number of prestigious academic institutions, under its umbrella.

SVKM is the brain child of leading industrialists and socially conscious philanthropists who wanted to contribute to the local area by founding educational institutions. The Mandal has an extensive local base with a large primary membership.

The status of NM as a minority institution for the Gujarati Linguistic Community, is a significant achievement in providing access to students from the Gujarati Speaking Community, to the most coveted college in the Commerce and Business Management Streams.

Although the college started by focusing on education to make students self-reliant and to prepare them for careers in the commerce field, it gradually extended the scope of its activities to include the moulding of the overall personality of the students. With greater competition in every walk of life it has become a necessity to prepare students to shine in all areas.

Today, Narsee Monjee College is one of the leading colleges in the Commerce stream in Mumbai, by assimilating global development in education, and adopting the latest technology.

The College has earned laurels in the field of academics, as well as extra and co-curricular activities. Every year, about half the number of students in the merit list of the HSC Board, are from this college. At the TYBCom examinations, there are many rankers, with a very high percentage of the students getting a first class. Students from NM perform well not only at the college level, but also in post graduate examinations in India and abroad, and also at the corporate level. NM has a long list of distinguished alumni to prove this.

Today, training of students in management skills such as leadership and organisational ability is provided practically by managing activities of a large number of cultural associations/ clubs, and the intercollegiate festivals- ‘Umang’, which in its fourth year, already boasts of playing host to participants and audience of over 30,000 and ‘Drishti’ which is in its third year now. NM students excel in extra-curricular and co-curricular activities too. The literary, cultural and other associations organise events throughout the year and the college encourages students to actively participate in them. NM students have represented the college and the University at the national level, and won many trophies.
