  ADMIs NASM a recognised institution?

  Yes. NASM is an industry-led collaborator and the final degree (BSM, MSM) is awarded by the University of Mumbai through the host college you study at. The three host colleges — MKES's Nagindas Khandwala (Malad) and B.K. Birla (Kalyan), all Empowered Autonomous — are all affiliated to the University of Mumbai. NASM contributes the industry curriculum, masterclasses and live league capstones.

  PLCWhat kind of placements can I expect?

  Our students intern and work with IPL franchises, ISL clubs, PKL teams, sports broadcasters (Star Sports, JioCinema Sports), sports-tech firms, athlete management agencies and sports marketing agencies. Roles span marketing, operations, broadcast, athlete management and sport-tech. Past placements do not guarantee future outcomes.

• 08

  PLCWhen does the first internship happen?

  As early as season one. NASM is structured around live league projects and capstones, so most students get exposure to real franchise/agency work in their first year — not just in final-year electives.

  ATHDoes NASM help with sports careers if I don't want to be an athlete?

  That is exactly what NASM is built for. The Indian sport economy is ₹18,864 Cr+ and most jobs in it are off the field — marketing, operations, broadcast, analytics, athlete management, sponsorship, sport-tech. Our entire curriculum is designed around those careers.
