Pratik Bhakkad's Review on K J Somaiya Institute of Management

Companies from various sectors like Marketing, finance, HR, operations come for recruitment. The average salary is around INR 9.2 lakh per annum and the highest salary as of now is INR 26.5 lakhs per annum and almost all the students got placed. Alumni network is very strong.

There are 2 hostels: 1 for girls and 1 for boys. The hostels in KJ somaiya are way too good. Rooms are also pretty decent. Food is hygienic. Hostel fees is INR 1.5 lakhs per annum and very less PGs are available nearby, so the hostel is the only best option one can go for. The infrastructure of classrooms, labs, libraries are way too good. The dining hall has a huge capacity. And also facilities like Wifi, gym, jogging track, basketball court, football ground etc is available.

The eligibility criteria was very simple, for PGDM, the Cutoff of exams like CAT, XAT, ATMA, MAT was declared(85 percentile+) then the shortlisted candidates were called for GD, PI round and then the merit list was declared. For MMS, main entrance exam was MAH-CET. The cutoff for CET was 99.3+ percentile. Other exams scores were also accepted to some extent like ATMA, MAT, CMAT, etc. 

The schedule is very hectic and there are 6 hours of classes. The faculty here is excellent with many years of teaching experience. The campus is way too big and every facility is available inside the campus.

Course fee for PGDM is INR 4.5 lakhs per annum and for MMS it's INR 2.88 lakhs per annum. One can apply for EBC for the scholarship. Around 20 to 30 students get the scholarship and many students take the loan from various banks. Canara bank offers the minimum loan interest (8.65%) and the loans are easily available.

There are overall 26 committees in KJ Somaiya. The main fest is Milange. Life is very chilled and relaxed over here but the competition is way too high.
