It is too early to remark on the quality of Nirma University's B.Com. (Hons.) program because it only started in the 2016–17 academic year. As far as I know, it is held in the Institute of Management building. It has excellent infrastructure and a high-quality learning environment.
Nirma University is the place to be if you are studious and want to earn and learn something important. Most people would not recommend it until a few batches graduate from the Commerce Department.
The fee structure is very high compared to any other institute. Since it is a new department, there are no records of placements/internships.
If you are a middle-class person, investing a lot for a year with no prior experience is a large risk. But it is a good value for someone who can afford it because of the university's overall reputation.
If you are currently deciding between Gargi and NMIMS for your undergraduate studies, it is suggested that you consider opting for Gargi.
Classes for BBA in NMIMS are held in a government college building opposite the main building campus where the MBA classes are held. The infrastructure of the college is unkempt and not very impressive. In addition, the tuition fee is quite high at 2.25 lakhs per year, and the cost of living expenses can add up to approximately 4-5 lakhs per year, which includes the cost of the hostel. The hostel is cheaper, but they are Non-AC and usually unavailable on a first-come basis. Additionally, the placement reports at NMIMS may be inflated.
In contrast, Gargi is a well-known DU college with a much lower tuition fee of around 60-70k for three years. Living expenses in the Siri Fort area may be expensive, but they are definitely less than in Mumbai. Gargi is also visited by good companies, which means that you will have good placement opportunities after completing your studies. As both BCom and BBA courses are similar, you will receive equal opportunities after completing your undergraduate studies. However, Gargi would be a more cost-effective option with better infrastructure, making it a better choice overall

NMIMS Mumbai is a superior BBA/B.Com school than NMIMS Navi Mumbai. It was founded in 1981, long before NMIMS Navi Mumbai, which began in 2017. It has been in education longer and has had more time to build a reputation and establish its curriculum, faculty, and infrastructure.
Second, NMIMS Mumbai has more students and better instructors than Navi Mumbai. The Mumbai campus's more popular BBA and B.Com programs attract more students, and the better faculty ensures quality instruction and guidance.
Thirdly, NMIMS Mumbai is the primary campus while Navi Mumbai is a newer campus operated by NMIMS Mumbai. The Mumbai campus makes key managerial decisions, which will benefit main campus students. Navi Mumbai has less autonomy than the main campus.
Fourth, the Mumbai campus has good placements, and BBA and B.Com students need this to find secure good job opportunities after graduation.
Finally, the Mumbai campus is at Vile Parle, a prime location. This helps students commute and access various resources.
I have friends who completed their B.Com from Calcutta University and Burdwan University and according to them, it's difficult to get a BCom degree from any of these two universities. Because it is honors, and you must also manage a large syllabus.
As far as the curriculum is concerned, Calcutta University and Burdwan University are identical. Even Burdwan University asks the same questions again and over.
You will have to put in extra effort to do well in academics at both Burdwan University and Calcutta University. However, Calcutta University has a locational advantage. You will have better access to coaching. Calcutta University is also more recognized.
I will suggest that you take all these factors into consideration, and choose an institute according to your convenience.
