    College Infrastructure

    The college has an amazing infrastructure. It is located in Ghatgopar Mumbai and is equidistant with smart classrooms, air-conditioned lecture theatres and the Campus has all around free we-fi connectivity as signal reception here is very poor.

    Academics

    The teachers and the support staff here is very helpful. They are always there to help you out. You just write an email to the concerned authority they will revert back to you in no time. The professors here are very experienced and teaches the students in a very simplified manner.

    Placements

    Being a student of Retail Management MBA-RM program, the placement here in this program is amazing. More than 90% of the students gets placed and gets an average placement of INR 7 lakhs. The placement committee is very active and holds itself very accountable to things.

    Has all the amenities one can expect. The best campus one can expect in a city of mumbai with state of art facilities including playground, tennis courts, race tracks , human chess board and dedicated bloomberg terminals

    Academics

    Good Learning Exposure . Lectures being conducted on ZOOM due to covid but most faculties are trained properly to handle the platform. The assignments and tests are being conducted smoothly via proctored software

    Placements

    Team is very helpful and overall decent numbers. Almost all the students are placed . Highest salary is yet to be disclosed . The process is very streamlined despite the challenges posed by COVID. The place com is supportive

    Value for Money

    A bit expensive. Fees of around 15+ lakhs is on the higher bracket

    Campus Life

    Very good placements, Faculties are experienced

    College Infrastructure

    It is one of the biggest college in Mumbai in terms of campus with fully equipped labs, classrooms and a huge amount of options in the library. The hostel facility is also available with reasonable prices and huge space and mess being outsourced to one of the best caterers of Mumbai. The hostel has 24*7 medical service available with an ambulance inside the premises. Every sports is played inside the campus with full equipments.

    Academics

    Faculty members are of excellent nature. All are very well qualified professionals. They all help the students in developing skills and also help in gaining knowledge. The course curriculum is relevant one as it shapes the manager according to the industry present.Faculty is really qualified having a large amount of industry experience. They believe in teaching in a practical way

    Placements

    The placements are very good. Almost 99% of the people get placed in companies across sectors. .companies like JP Morgan, Barclays, ITC, Reliance Jio. Though some of the internship got cancelled but the placement committee found another opening for such students. The highest package offered was 27 Lacs, the lowest was around 7.5 Lacs and average was 10.5 Lacs.

    Value for Money

    I really wanted to make a career in Marketing and hence I opted to do this course from one of the most prestigious institutes in India. I am satisfied with the teaching and learnings here. The college fests and events gave us an opportunity to step out of our comfort zones.The best things about this course are the information provided and basics cleared about finance in the first year itself.

    Campus Life

    There are several events, fests that happen in the campus throughout the year. There are 28 student driven committees which provide students with exposure to real scenarios in managing the events. Campus Crowd is very diverse in terms of educational background and the geographic background.The college fests and events gave us an opportunity to step out of our comfort zones. There are also good extracurricular activities.

    Decent college with average placements and teaching facility

    College Infrastructure

    Three students per hostel room feels congested. Mess food is okay. Neat classrooms with average library facility. Big ground, running track and other facilities to refresh and enjoy. Good environment to study under trees. Wifi is not that good.

    Academics

    Teaching is pretty average. Some subjects are interesting, while others not so much. Has to improve a lot in curriculum wise. Practical learning is needed without too much emphasis on grades. Teaching needs to improve.

    Placements

    Placements are okay. On par with other tier 2 mba colleges. Top companies such as McKinsey, Amazon, Citi Bank etc, visited campus for placement. Packages are not very satisfying. I would say average package is around 8 lacks, with highest being 20 lacks and lowest being 5 lacks.

    Value for Money

    Decent package. But college fees is too high. So roi becomes low.

    Campus Life

    Good atmosphere for learning. Placement packages are not high. Location in mumbai gives additional advantage. Quality of teaching staff needs to improve.

    Proud to be a part of K J Somaiya Insitute of Management

    Verified Review
    College Infrastructure

    K J Somaiya Institute of Management has one of the best campuses in Mumbai, there is hardly any other college in Mumbai that can second that. Be it all the modern sporting facilities, Bloomberg terminal, or Infirmary the campus has it all.

    Academics

    I am currently pursuing my MBA in Marketing. K J has faculties who will always put in that extra effort which would create a difference. Understanding theories and their practical application are what the faculties focus on. Most of the faculties have done their Ph.D.'s from renowned institutes and have a strong industry connect as well.

    Placements

    COVID-19 has severely affected the placement scenario of many B-schools. K J Somaiya also had to face certain challenges in this domain, but the Corporate relations team and the entire place-com have put in their heart to ensure 100% placements. We(2022) are almost through with our Summer Placements and only a mere 10% of the batch(2021) is remaining for the final placements.

    Value for Money

    K J Somaiya Insitute of Management in an institute which fairs well in terms of ROI. The two years full-time course fee is around 15-16 lacs (excluding the hostel). This is very competitive given the current scenario.

    Campus Life

    Although we are yet to visit the campus and lead a full-fledged campus life. Few of my peers have been lucky enough to stay on the campus and the feedback that I have received from them is very positive. Their experiences make me miss the campus more. Being located in one of the prime locations in Mumbai, it is a blessing in disguise for a student.

    Post Graduate Program in Retail Management from KJ SIMSR

    Verified Review
    College Infrastructure

    KJ SIMSR has excellent infrastructure. Whole campus is covered with Wi-Fi facility. The canteen is good but does not serve non-vegetarian food. Libraries and laboratories are well equipped with modern equipment. Hostel facility is also good and provides very tasty food. It also has a bloomberg lab. Classrooms are big and fully air-conditioned. It also has a large sports ground and two auditoriums.

    Academics

    I am doing Post Graduate Program in Retail Management. The mentors of the program are experienced and they have a good knowledge of the industry. The curriculum is relevant and makes the students job-ready. There are visiting faculty members also who are currently working in the industry. So, it's a plus point to the students as these faculty members give hands-on experience to the students.

    Placements

    KJ SIMSR provides excellent placement to its students. This year, more than 90% of the students were placed. The highest package offered was 28 lakhs and the average package offered was around 8-10 lakhs. However, the placement record for Executive MBA is not good. Also, the placement cell is very supportive when it comes to sitting for a job interview.

    Campus Life

    Campus life is great here at KJ SIMSR. Apart from academics, one can also indulge in extra curricular activities. There are also courses on yoga and meditation which one can enroll.

    Have a question related to KJSIM ?

    Hello Aspirant,

    No, SET is not for MBA.
    Symbiosis Entrance Test (SET) 2020 is a university level entrance test conducted for offering admission to candidates in undergraduate programs offered by Symbiosis University.You can get admission in Bachelor's level courses through SET and MBA is Postgraduate course.

    I hope this helps

    KJ Somaiya requires a minimum of 85 percentile for both CAT and XAT. There's no different cutoff for different categories so anyone who wants to apply for the college has to score a minimum of 85 percentile. But you can definitely apply for Welingkar Mumbai and Bangalore campuses as the shortlisting for PGDM HCM is completely profile based. The fees for Welingkar is nearly 11 lakhs and the average compensation package offered for Human Resources is 6-7 lakhs. The last date to apply for Welingkar is 14th February 2020. But you have a decent score so you should check some other good colleges also like
    • XIME Bangalore (fees = 10 lakhs)
    • XISS Ranchi (8 lakhs)
    • Praxis Kolkata (4.4 lakhs)
    • Great Lakes Gurgaon (11.76 lakhs)
    • IMT Hyderabad (12 lakhs)
    • NL Dalmia Mumbai (9.3 lakhs)
    • SIES Mumbai (7.9 lakhs)
    • NDIM New Delhi (9.3 lakhs)

    All of them are decent colleges in terms of both academics and placements and you can easily get an average compensation package of around 6-7 lakhs.

    And if you want to pursue Human Resource Management and build a good career in that then XISS would be a great option which will provide you great returns on investment. The average compensation package offered for HR is nearly 9-10 lakhs.

    Good Luck

    You have a pretty decent XAT percentile but KJ Somaiya Institute of Management Studies and Research requires a minimum of 85 percentile in both CAT and XAT exams. The Institute considers only the overall percentile. So it may be a little difficult for you to get a call. But you can still get some very good colleges with your XAT scores like
    • IIFM Bhopal
    • XIME Bangalore
    • IFMR Chennai
    • IMT Nagpur and Hyderabad
    • Prin LN Welingkar Institute of Management Development and Research
    • Christ University Bangalore
    • Great Lakes Gurgaon and others.

    These colleges will also offer you good placement opportunities and good academics and you must try to attend as many interview processes as possible to get enough options to choose from.

    Good Luck
