PGDM from K.J. Somaiya Institute of Management Studies and Research (2021)

The choice of selecting KJ Somaiya for the MBA/ PGDM program depends upon your perspectives and preferences. Without considering the placement scenario or the condition of the college, taking a loan is not preferred. The points below state some personal opinions about taking a loan for an MBA degree.

  • There are many people who believe in the fact that an MBA from a good institute can land a job with a good package. But, this may not be the case or the reason to choose MBA for everyone.
  • If the main aim of the candidate is to get better placement and pay off the loan with a high-paying job, taking a loan can be considered legit.
  • Other than the above scenario, working for few years and earning a decent sum of money, and choosing an Executive MBA program after that is preferred.

This is a personal opinion and may not be the case for every candidate. But, a loan is still not a very good option, viewing from the vision of risks in debt.

Other than placements, VJIT offers better ROI, and start-up support. It is well-recognized in the industry. Many reputed companies offer core job opportunities in VJIT placements. The number of core job opportunities is limited at KJ Somaiya.
