Entrance Preview

CET - Common Entrance Test. Its a state level entrance examination for the MBA courses and I thought I can do well in this.

Course Curriculum Overview

Very good. I was interested in finance and it had very good curriculum from Mumbai university backed by a strong teaching faculty. The curiculum was inline with the times and upgraded regularly as per the needs of the changing corporate and economic environment.

Internships Opportunities

Did my internship from a reputed bank keeping my finance career in mind. Stipend was decent at around Rs 10000 but the learning experience was very rewarding.

Placement Experience

3.5

Placements was 100%. Got the relevant job and was satisfied. The placement of the batch was with very good tier 1 corporates in Mumbai and other metros of the country.

College Events

3.5

College events includes intercollege presentations, research paper competitions, group discussions which was very enriching as a participant and student learning various topics well researched by all the groups.

Fees and Financial Aid

Scholarship loans were not available from the college but bank loans were very easily available for students interested in it.

Campus Life

The college has a large campus in the heart of Mumbai. The trust has other colleges and courses also available for students of various age groups and interests. This made the campus very lively and active in terms of extra curricular activities including sports.

Alumni/Alumna

Alumni network is quite strong. Regular mails and annual alumni meets are arranged to keep in touch with colleagues and improve networking. I get mails from the college placement teams updating me on the various initiatives being taken by the college. Also try to attend the alumni meetings as time permits.

Exam Structure

The exam structure was biannual and was designed in a manner .That it had to be hectic and required continuous commitment from the students with regular presentations on topics and marks allocated and grades given on a monthly basis.

Faculty

Faculty was very experienced and from industry background with hands on industry experience. The visiting faculty were from very good corporates teaching latest trends of industry and keeping us updated on required skills.

My SBS Journey

Placement Experience:

During my time the first company that visited our organization was Naukri.com, and feel proud to say that i got placed in the same organization. I am very happy with my placement. But talking about my peers. Number of companies who visited to our institute was compared to low as per our expectations. Majority of the companies who visited the institute were sales based organizations. Very less companies for finance and HR field. This made a difficult call for students.

Not a dream college but a real one

Placement Experience:

The placement scenerio at our caollege can be described as average overall. Most recruiting company belong to the banking and supply chain sectors. Marketing students generally have better placement opportunities, while finance and HR students do get job, though the package are not very high. Buswiness analytics has limited scope as very few companies visit the campus for the roles in that domain.

Honest College Life Experience .

Placement Experience:

To be honest there are placements but the placements are like no one want to be there it is just something unacceptable for the HR students . The promises the long talks are all false and they doesn't focus on students future and career rather they care for just attendance

KJ Somaiya - A lively campus

Course Curriculum Overview:

I did choose this course as I am genuinely interested in management and if it is healthcare management that makes me excited. There is a different teaching faculty for each and every subject. The faculties are highly qualified market professionals and experts who teach in an extremely interactive and practical way. They are very supportive. There was one exam conducted per semester which included projects and written exams.

I did apply for just one more college for safety as I was very sure of getting admission in KJ. I had heard a lot about KJ's HM so dreamt of it. I availed Gujarati quota for admission.

We required to have 7 plus pointers in Graduation for getting admission. There was an orientation program held by the institute for us....Read More

My college experience

The selection criterion includes cut-off cleared scores of CAT/ XAT/ CMAT/ NMAT/ GMAT, a GD-PI round, past academic records and work experience if any. For CAT and XAT, the cut-off is usually 80-85%ile; for GMAT, the cut-off is 550-600 and for CMAT it is 85-90%ile. The group discussion is case-based. Outstanding achievements has 8% of weightage in the election process. The pros of the institute include its infrastructure, inclusive classrooms, case-based pedagogy and rich alumni base. I referred to many online forums, however found several views from the very alumni of the college on collegedunia very objective and clearly directed....Read More
