Institutional Distinctiveness

The distinctiveness of NSCT IMS, Pimpri Bk lies in the exceptional academic experience which offers its students various curricular, co-curricular and extra-curricular platforms and opportunities to shape their particular thought patterns, problem-solving capabilities and overall perception of the world. These altered mental processes transform students into unique individuals who can realize their full potential as a human being and thereby bring about social transformation as well. Let’s call such enlightened students ‘NSCTIMSite’s, the transformed individuals who are in tune with the motto of the college, ‘Making More Possible’. The acronym ‘NSCTIMS ’ can be explained as follows

The various activities which contribute towards the attainment of these goals are as follows.

• Academic Learning happens through use of technology and mentoring by the teachers. Students get trained in using ICT to enhance their learning experience. The Digital landscape of the college ensures that every student becomes adept at online admissions, performing cashless transactions, accessing online lectures, taking online tests and examinations and accessing online Library resources.
• An exposure to Indian values, customs and traditions is provided through the cultural and fine arts activities. Folk dances and Costumes, art forms of Indian Origin are reflected in these activities. Traditional Days and Festivals are celebrated to propagate Indian values and a sentiment of tolerance and inclusivity which form the Indian ethos.
• The emotional wellbeing of the students is given the utmost importance with a number of activities aimed at creating internal and external harmony among them. For instance, daily meditation sessions conducted at the beginning of lectures, help students focus on their studies. The online evening storytelling sessions provide students with the opportunities to channelize their emotions into creativity. Students with disciplinary issues are directed to the counsellor who helps them with the emotional management. The ‘College Helpline’ offers online counselling to those students who wish to maintain anonymity while addressing their mental health issues. Especially, during the COVID-19 pandemic, ‘College Helpline’ proved to be a great vehicle to ward off depression among both students and staff. Similarly, ‘Harmony: The Centre of Joy’, established during the pandemic has gone a long way in generating a sense of positivity and hope during the overall period of gloom.  
• An Innovative mindset is developed when students engage in student research activities, complete academic projects, reach out to the community and network with Industry through collaborative programs.
• GNC events, ‘Say No to Plastic’ drive, visits are some of the service – oriented activities that develop sensitivity and empathy in students. 
• Students volunteered in the COVID vaccination Centre in the College. Health awareness programs regarding the pandemic were arranged by students, thus exhibiting their sense of civic responsibility.
• Values of Honesty, Integrity, Transparency as propagated by the great Gurus are instilled through the functioning of college committees. Students make plans, organise events, make budgets, mobilize funds and learn optimum utilization of resources.

Thus, the term ‘NSCTIMSiite’ stands for a powerful combination of knowledge, skills and values.
