When pursuing an MBA, it is important to do it from the top 20 colleges, or not do it at all. And so, K J Somaiya definitely does not fall in the top 20 colleges of India. However, it is one of the best that exists in Mumbai.

So, if you feel that you can get into the top 20 colleges in the next year, then you should wait for it. On the other hand, if you are sure that you would not be able to make it, then it is important to question yourself as to what is your motive behind doing an MBA.

Like everyone, you have the same motive that is – a good job and a good package, then K J Somaiya would not be a great option. You will have to get admitted to the top colleges and stay there to get a decent salary.

As per the current scenario for MBA graduates, the supply far exceeds the demand for good-paying jobs. Therefore, it is advisable to rethink if you wish to do an MBA. If you still get yes as an answer and take up K J Somaiya, then you will have to put in a lot of hard work and loads of effort in the long run and that too, for a long time. You will reach where you want to but through a much longer route.
