Ans
There are a lot of factors which should be kept in mind while opting for either of the colleges. Some of such factors are mentioned below.
Attendance-
For attendance, HR is way more lenient than NM College. If you have a valid reason for low attendance such as preparation of CR, then you might be exempted.
However, this doesn't work in NM college, they are extremely strict about their attendance.
Distance- If you are a resident of Mumbai then you should consider the distance of the college from your home. It is an important factor to consider, and saves a lot of time and money.
Focus area-
If your goal is holistic development i.e. curriculum studies plus co-curricular activities, then NM college is the preferred choice.
HR is close to NM in this race. But NM provides a wider exposure owing to its central location of the college, surrounded by various other universities.
Let’s take a look at the advantages of all the above-mentioned colleges in a tabular form below.

Community- Often this factor is excluded while selecting a college, but this factor is as important as any of the above-mentioned factors. Although, if you have good people skills, you don’t need to consider it. But if you need a community then, in NM you will be surrounded by Gurjatis and in HR by Sindhis.
Infrastructure-
NM College is up-to-date with its infrastructure regardless of the fact that it is one of the oldest and well-known colleges in Mumbai.
HR College is outdated, not maintained, in terms of infrastructure.
Cost- If you are not a resident of Mumbai, South Mumbai is expensive in comparison to West Mumbai.
Thus, keeping the above analysis in mind, NM College is the best out of the four colleges.
