Hi,


Symbiosis Institute of Media and Communication, Pune (SIMC) features in the top ten Mass Communication institutes in India. It offers MBA in Communication Management, M.A. in Mass Communication (Journalism) and M.A. in Mass Communication (Audio- Visual). For MBA in Communication Management, it offers four specialisations: Brand Communication, Public Relations, Media Management, Marketing and Media Analytics. SIMC gives admission through SNAP test.


Most of the reputed media houses and corporates visit the campus for final placements and summer internships. The average package is around 5 lpa and highest package offered is around 12 lpa. The fees is around 9.3 lakhs. You have to decide if the ROI is worth it for you or not.


As far as CAT is concerned, work experience matters but isn't the sole determining factor. Some institutes give weightage to it, some don't. But, at the end of the day, your preparation/ study matters irrespective of you being a fresher/ work-ex candidate, nothing can substitute hard work and fetch you the qualifying percentile in the concerned exam.


Hope this helps.

Cheers!

Hello, As such background doesnt matter in MBA curriculum or while taking admission in any BSchool. During admission they look for your grade or percentage in your under grad, 10th and 12 th.

If you want to go for finance in MBA, you might find little difficulty as it involve Maths might include lots of calculations.

 Regarding the colleges you have mentioned in the question, are just average or below that. Top two colleges of SNAP are worth time and money, i.e SIBM and SCHMRD, Pune.

If you are getting good option by CAT , go for that. And If you want to go in this above colleges then according to my preference it should be

SIMC>SIBM-H>=SIHS

You can also take a drop and prepare for next year.

Heyyy Mohana.....

SIHS - Average package is 5lpa and highest is 8lpa

Beautiful campus and experienced faculty

Verified Review

College Infrastructure

The college is nestled in the hilltop of the campus. It requires a inter-university bus to reach the hilltop for students. Its a pretty old campus but they are making small changes every year to improve its infrastructure. We have a central library which is shared by the hilltop colleges which include SIBM, SSBF, SIDTM, SSSS, SSVAP and few more. The multipurpose ground and the facilities are very good. They also have facilities like a swimming pool, a hotel within a campus for parents to stay and many more. Overall the infrastructure is impressive although the campus is more than 30 years old.

The student center is a hub of activity, offering everything from cafes to recreational facilities. However, the campus layout can be a bit confusing for newcomers, with some buildings being hard to find. Additionally, while the Wi-Fi is generally reliable, it can slow down during peak usage times. Overall, the infrastructure is modern and student-friendly.
