    College Infrastructure

    The infrastructure of the college is well built, wifi facility, hostel facility, even the campus equipments, including computer labs, bloomberg lab, all are really good, sports facility is also there, which makes it one of the best campus

    Academics

    MBA here is taught well, most of the faculty teaches well but some of them are really boring, for every subject there is a presentation in which we as a group need to present that, this helps us to get a clarity of the concept

    Placements

    Placements of the college are good, being in mumbai, the Financial capital of India, this colleges invites various big companies for placement, batch size here is large so it may be difficult to place all students with good packages

    Talking about the necessary infrastructure, KJ SIM has well-equipped and technologically updated classrooms in order to provide a great learning experience. The library is also good and has enough resources, but with a batch size of 1300+ students over the two years, the library could have been bigger in size. KJ SIM also has a Bloomberg terminal in the library and has courses like "understanding financial markets," which are of great use to the students.

    Academics

    I am currently pursuing an MBA as I have a keen interest in marketing. The quality of teaching is good, we have faculty with high qualifications from great universities/colleges. Yes, the curriculum is constantly updated. The corporate industry is ever-evolving, and the college needs to keep up with the latest trends and concepts that are relevant to the curriculum.

    Placements

    The placements are decent as most of the good companies come on campus for recruitment for example Morgan stanley, JP morgan, Goldman Sachs, ITC, HSBC, etc. Talking about the interim 2023 placements, 93% of the batch is placed, and the average salary offered was 12.28 lakhs per annum.

    Review_K J Somaiya Institute of Management

    College Infrastructure

    KJSIM is located in Mumbai, Maharashtra and is equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure. The institute boasts a massive campus with its sister concerns and is spread across 10 km. The classrooms are AC-enabled too. The students can opt for food from the mess for 50k. It is delicious, but it's just veg.

    Academics

    The quality of teaching is above average. The class is conducted based on the AACSB curriculum, usually going in flow like Classes, case discussions and PPT presentations. With academicians from across various industries and years of experience they provide a birds-eye view of the Industry.

    Placements

    The placements for finance specialisation were better than that for marketing. For specialisation highest package offered was 24 lakh, and the average package of marketing was 10 lakh. But just stay at the top 50%.

    Value for Money

    The fee stood at 16 lacks when I joined the institute, which was later increased to 18 lakhs. The ROI is lower than one as the package offered stood at an mean average of 10 lakh

    Campus Life

    Campus life is fantastic. We have a lot of committees, with four exclusive committees and the rest being group A, B and C committees.

    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
