NMIMS Horizon Brings AI-Embedded Learning to Undergraduate Programmes
A big university in India called NMIMS is teaching its students about Artificial Intelligence, or AI, which helps computers think and solve problems.
The university already offered AI learning to its management students through a programme named NMIMS Horizon.
Now, starting on 3 August 2026, it is giving the same opportunity to its undergraduate students.
About 40,000 students will be able to use online lessons from a website called Coursera without paying any extra money.
Students who study engineering, science, pharmacy, and commerce will all learn how AI can help in their subjects.
This is not just watching videos alone — teachers will guide the students with assignments, projects, and tests.
The university's teachers are also taking special training so they can help students learn AI better.
The students' AI work will count toward their grades, just like their other classes.
The university wants its graduates to be ready for jobs in a world where AI is changing how industries work.
SVKM's NMIMS officially extended its NMIMS Horizon initiative to undergraduate programmes on 3 August 2026.
AI-focused learning has been embedded in the Schools of Engineering, Science, Pharmacy, and Commerce.
Approximately 40,000 student users will gain access to global learning resources through Coursera at no additional cost.
The initiative follows a structured, faculty-led academic model combining mentoring, assignments, projects, and assessments.
NMIMS faculty members are undergoing specialised training before facilitating student learning.
