Arunava Dey's Review on K J Somaiya Institute of Management
Placements and Internships
- The summer placement record is extremely good. We have key companies like J.P. Morgan, Morgan Stanley, HUL, CRISIL, HDFC, etc. visiting our campus for the summers. The average salary is around INR 35,000 per month and all kind of roles (finance, marketing, hr, operations, etc.) are offered to the students.
College Infrastructure and Hostel Facilities
- The hostel infrastructure is excellent and it's cheaper staying in hostel considering it's Mumbai where even PGs are very costly. So to save money and time (remember Mumbai traffic) opt for the hostel. All the classrooms have A.C.s and projectors and WiFi too. Overall, I repeat the infrastructure is really good.
Entrance Exams and Admissions
- The admission procedure to the PGDM programme is through CAT/XAT/CMAT/CET.
- The cut off in 2016 through CAT was 85%ile.
Academics and Faculty
- The institute has excellent faculty and the course is also structured in such a way that even a non - commerce background student can learn the concepts easily (I am giving the example of Finance as it is my field of study in SIMSR). Also, there are many activities happening all the time in the college which provide an all-round development to the student.
Fees and Scholarships
- The course fee is INR 4,40,000l per year excluding hostel charges.
- Scholarship option is also available, but it depends on the student's condition.
- Loans are very easily available from Canara bank, Credila.
Clubs and Associations
- There are many clubs, starting from finance to marketing, operations, hr. There are many social and cultural clubs too. Also, it a lovely campus full of greenery and is perhaps the only b-school in Mumbai which has it's own playground and a running track.
