Established in 1994, NMIMS Global Access School for Continuing Education (NMIMS CDOE) has emerged as one of India’s premier centers for distance learning, catering to over 55,000 students and a robust network of 9,500 alumni. The institution offers a wide array of UGC-approved undergraduate, postgraduate, diploma, and certificate programs in Management, tailored to meet the diverse needs of modern learners. Recognized for excellence, NMIMS CDOE earned an 'A+' accreditation from NAAC in 2008, reinforcing its commitment to quality education.

The origins of NMIMS CDOE can be traced back to the vision of SVKM’s NMIMS, established in 1981 and granted deemed university status in 2003. By 1994, the institution recognized the growing demand from urban and rural youth for flexible, high-quality education that could complement their professional aspirations without the constraints of traditional classroom settings. This realization led to the foundation of NMIMS CDOE, merging cutting-edge technology with academic expertise to create a student-focused platform for open and distance learning.
