Considering the expertise available in the various disciplines of science the NMIMS Deemed to be University has established a Sunandan Divatia School of Science whose very purpose is to develop technically skilled manpower for industry. With the boom in information technology and more and more sophistication in instrumentation techniques, there is now a very thin dividing line between the various disciplines of science. Therefore there is a greater need for flexibility in scientific thought as well as training manpower on an interdisciplinary plane. With this thought in view, the NMIMS Deemed to be University has introduced, highly innovative and unique interdisciplinary courses at the School of Science from the academic year 2007-2008. Sunandan Divatia School of Science provides undergraduate and postgraduate students an opportunity to be a part of the unique learning methodology of the university, which lays emphasis on academic excellence combined with industry oriented training.

The NMIMS (Deemed to be University) introduced Ph.D. programmes in Biological Sciences and Chemistry in July 2007.The salient feature of this programme is the emphasis being laid on the overall development of laboratory skills of a research student coupled with an expansion of his/her knowledge base through an interdisciplinary course work comprising lectures and practicals in the first year of the course and subsequently fine tuning these skills in a particular area of specialization. While the research student will have ample opportunity to acquire hands-on training on modern, sophisticated instruments/equipment wherever necessary, he/she will also be able to benefit from the expertise of one or more supervisors, wherever needed.
