From talking to some people at NMIMS Mumbai, it seems that this will be a campus of NMIMS Deemed University. Currently NMIMS (https://nmims.edu/) has campuses at Mumbai, Shirpur, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Indore, Navi Mumbai, Dhule and Chandigarh. Each of its campuses have multiple schools and not just a Business School.
SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT
With diverse and cutting-edge programs, it also offers executive education programs for professionals.
SCHOOL OF TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT & ENGINEERING
Provides excellence in engineering and management education, creating human resources of value to the industry.
SCHOOL OF PHARMACY & TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT
Educates with a view to impact global healthcare system and develop outstanding pharmacy professionals.
SCHOOL OF LAW
Enables students to face challenges in the legal world and stand up to economic, social, political and judicial scrutiny.
SCHOOL OF COMMERCE
To excel in finance domain and develop an analytical view.
SCHOOL OF SCIENCE
Generates highly qualified scientific talent to fulfill the needs of research institutions and cater to the needs of the industry.
SCHOOL OF MATHEMATICS, APPLIED STATISTICS & ANALYTICS
Creates versatile and confident mathematicians who are employable.
Something like that would be wonderful.
Also in the initial phases, it would be good to be a campus of a reputed NMIMS Deemed University, as that umbrella will make it easier to recruit faculty, get good students, and find jobs for graduates.
