What is the placement scenario at K J Somaiya?

IB
Ishita Bhatt Posted On : April 16th, 2021
B.Tech. Computer Engineering, K. J. Somaiya College of Engineering (2018)

The placement scenario for K J Somaiya is pretty good. Big MNCs visit the campus but the probability of the students being selected or rejected depends on the student’s knowledge as well as their skill set.

The environment of K J Somaiya is very competitive. Students put in their best and work extremely hard to learn new things like programming languages, platforms, etc. It is because, by the end of the engineering degree, everybody lies at an equal level and is equally knowledgeable.

Average Package

If you wish to grab the best package, you need to stand out and offer something unique from your end with regard to knowledge as well as personality. This stands true for all the other colleges as well, including IITs and VJTI. 

If you are an exceptional student, you will be able to grab a good job irrespective of your college name. On the other hand, if you are an average student who is struggling to pass the subjects, then you will get an average package which would range around 25,000 per month or even worse, might not get a job at all.

How was your KJ Somaiya GD PI experience?

SK
Somya Khandelwal Posted On : March 31st, 2021
Studied at Delhi University (2020)

My brother appeared for his interview last year. His GD PI was at the Vidyavihar campus in Mumbai in the first week of March. He was a little nervous when he walked into the auditorium, where so many people were waiting for their turn.

GD Round: There was a group of 10 people for a case-based discussion. He and the other candidates went into a room where they were provided with a case sheet by the faculty. In addition, they had three minutes to read and think about the case. After which each person would be given 1 minute to conclude.

His group got the case where the question was asked whether the funds allocated to ISRO should be used for other more important purposes. There have been some statistics on the current percentage of GDP allocated to ISRO for their projects and other information in paragraph or two. The discussion had a mix of all that.

One person was shouting that ISRO should not be given any money while some other people, including my brother, were saying that it would help to improve the image of India as a developing nation in terms of technology and eventually attract FDI. Another person used the statistics given in the case very wisely. The rest of the people were chipping in their points to stay in the discussion.

There are few things you must keep in mind:

  • You don't have to raise your voice to make a powerful point.
  • You need to study the case carefully and underscore important information.
  • Quality is always better than quantity. You can make 2-3 points that are better than talking constantly about irrelevant things.
  • Use statistics if they are provided. It adds a lot of significance and contributes to a strong point.
  • It is imperative to be competent in English. It communicates your points very easily to the judge.
  • The conclusions are very important, as in one minute, you can make your point without anyone disturbing you. It will also help you to recover if you didn't perform well in the discussion.

PI Round:

After the GD he really wanted to do well in the PI because the discussion had not gone that well for him.

He knew that the first statement in most college interviews was 'Tell us about yourself.' So, he was already prepared to answer that question by including things that would give them clues as to the questions most favorable to him.

According to his expectations, for most of the interview, the 2-member panel asked him questions about the start-up and all. Other questions were based on general knowledge, such as "Who is Nandan Nilekani?" "What is he famous for?" and so on.

As a mechanical engineer, he was also prepared for the question of his choice to opt for the Financial Services program. The interview went exactly as he thought. He was satisfied with it, and he was pleased that he had most likely recovered the points he had lost in the GD.Being honest and smart made him crack his interview.

Tanvi Sinha Posted On : May 2nd, 2022
MBA from SVKM's NMIMS

KJ Somaiya is better than FORE School of Management. FORE is mostly known in the Delhi NCR region. While KJ Somiya is well-recognized throughout the nation. 

For freshers, FORE is a better option, especially in Marketing specialization. KJ Somiya has a better peer group with more experienced students. It is a good option for both Marketing and Finance.

SP
Samiksha Panday Posted On : September 8th, 2021
PGADM in Operations Management, Symbiosis Institute of Management Studies (2019)

Having known some students of both these colleges, I can say that both the colleges are really good in terms of infrastructure, culture, and faculties. There are of course some differences too and for that let me share with you a few details.

  • K J Somaiya has better infrastructure and the campus is located at the heart of the city. SIMSREE doesn't have such a big infrastructure.
  • SIMSREE has a better ROI than K J Somaiya. 
  • Placement usually depends on your profile and how you perform in your management education & certainly performance in interviews.
  • Professors, peers both are good in both colleges. 
  • At SIMSREE, the finance course is much better as there are several guest lecturers visiting from JBIMS.
  • Both SIMSREE and K J Somaiya’s program in MMS is Mumbai University affiliated. Its degree is acceptable for several government jobs as well.
Categories MMS at SIMSREE MMS at K J Somaiya
Course Fee 1.36 lakh 3.24 lakh
Highest CTC 20 LPA -
Average CTC 12 LPA 8-9 LPA
Recruiting Companies American Express, Barclays, ITC, KPMG, etc. Amazon, HUL, Deutsche Bank, Wipro, etc.

It must be noted that PGDBM is not offered at SIMSREE rather the institute also offers MMS in affiliation with Mumbai University.

Also, while choosing between MMS at Sydenham and K J Somaiya, it is suggested that you talk to alumni of both colleges, which would definitely give you a clear idea.
