Kaushik Chakraborty's Review on K J Somaiya Institute of Management
Placements and Internships
- To be ture Internships are offered of varying qualities, even some companies offer zero stipend. I did internship from a startup who promised Rs 5000 per month but after completion declined to pay anything. Placement committee is also not concerned with stipends.
- However the placement committee facilitates very good final placement offers to its students and all students get placed. The ROI is good due to low couse fee.
- The alumni network is very strong and different committees invite them to come to college and share their experience so that students can choose specializations and career paths wisely.
