There is a high cut off percentage for admission and good performance in examinations is stressed on. The faculty is good. The 3 semester system is followed unlike other colleges. The college is also strict about discipline and university rules such as the 75% attendance criterion.

However the college students also excel in extra curricular activities. The annual intercollegiate fest hosted by N M College called “Umang” is regarded by many as one of the best college festivals in the city. Besides this fest, there are many clubs and societies such as the Planning Forum, the Computer Society, the Music and Dance Society, the English Literary Association, Gujarathi Sahitya Mandal, Marathi Sahitya Mandal and the Speakers and Writers Club, etc. which have activities throughout the year.

 

The college has air conditioned classrooms, a well stocked library, good computer facilities and good canteen (as well as a large number of food stalls just outside which are patronized by the students of this college). A student of this college is usually also involved in preparing for many professional courses like CA, MBA, etc and the college always supports them in this regard. Ex- students of this college have formed the NaaM- the NM College Alumni Association Movement in 1997 and it has its own range of activities.

In general, students have always shown pride in being NM-ites. And no wonder, as NM College is widely acknowledged as one of the best commerce colleges in the city.
