KJ Somaiya, MCA

Reviewed on Oct 29, 2015

Remarks

Somaiya is good college to learn and enjoy the faculties . It has a campus life which u can njoy . The Maggie house , the green benches, the amphitheatre, aurobindo, sk Somaiya college, Kj Somaiya . Etc so would have a nice time if u utilize it well .

Entrance Preview

I gave MAH MCA CET for doing MCA from Somaiya college . It is very easy to get into a good college through mca cet but the course is a difficult one . As one of my sir had said . It's easy to crack mca cet and get into a good college but the course is difficult, whereas of mba cet the picture is other way around.

Course Curriculum Overview

1.5

As Somaiya is autonomous now. It is experimenting regarding its course. I wont say that the course is well structured its still in its experimental stages. So I would suggest u to study more or research more. Before any decisions. Cause a college can make or break ur career upto a greater level . So choose wisely.

Internships Opportunities

Yes they provide internship. Companies like Morgan Stanley, Accenture, TCS, Infosys, justdial, pi technologies, directi, wisdmlabs, monster instinct etc have visited the campus.

Placement Experience

Many students were places in various companies according to their knowledge .Companies like Morgan Stanley, Accenture, tcs, Infosys, justdial, pi technologies, directi, wisdmlabs, monster instinct etc have visited the campus . Various roles were offered to the students including .net developer, java developer, database admin, android developer, web developer etc.

College Events

Many events are celebrated in Somaiya . Famous events like melange, icon, bech daal, abhiyantriki etc are the main events that attract many people from all the colleges in Mumbai . Various alumni events are also organized by the college and are widely applauded by the ex students.

Fee Structure And Facilities

Fee structure is on the higher side as u might expect . After all it is the college where gujjus are given priority . But u can expect for the fee structure to be this high in a masters level programme . Over 1 lakh per year for mca . That would mean over 3 lakh for whole course. Which is quite high for a mca programme which doesn't guarentee a high salaried job unless u have knowledge.

Fees and Financial Aid

Scholarships are offered based on the caste or qualification u have . Scholars are notably offered good scholarships and are an asset to the college . Loan is offered if u don't want to pay the fees through cash.

Hostel Facilities

Hostel faculties are quite good they have a set of rules for various processes . They celebrate various festival together. There is a good bond omg those people. Ragging has never happened in the premisess of the college because there is a student commitee that looks in all the matters regarding various issues that hostelites face .

External Expense: Rs. 4000 - Rs. 7000

Alumni/Alumna

Almuni comitee has been established for the matters regarding the alumni network . Senior students can be contacted through various sourses and every one is helpful regarding everything.

Exam Structure

Exam structure is based upon college. 50 marks for internals and 50 for external exam. The exams are chilled out and u have ample of time to prepare, labs are cool . Nice facilities, upgraded systems, configs etc . U can study in the lab if u get bored in the library.

Faculty

Faculties are well experienced. They have a thorough understanding about the course. But the way they make students understand is not that convenient. There Teaching methodologies differ and may or may not be convenient to some people . But overall a good faculty and a experienced one.

COLLEGE REVIEW OF IBSAR BELAPUR

Likes

The good thing about this college is affordability and how quick the admission process is.
Teachers are friendly too, there is no mandatory attendance rule and the lecs are conducted three days a week for mca students which gives them the freedom to work or switch between lecs and personal things
The feedbacks of students are taken seriously and the staff is changed accordingly. Students can freely talk to faculty about the performance of teachers and quality of education.

Dislikes

There is no campus in this college which limits student activities for events or other things.since the lecs are not conducted daily or as like other colleges , very less class count is there which affects the interactivity as well.
The quality of infrastructure is not quite good as the college is there in two floors of the building only. Campus amenities are average as well. There aren't much opportunities as such in this college like industrial level or any.
If anyone wants to experience and actually college life with the whole campus experience,events , activities or other things ,this college isn't a good fit

Placement Experience:

During the admission the students are told that in semester four , just students are eligible for campus placements and some of the companies come for a placements and even the undergraduate students are placed . The name of the companies that come for the placement include Vector ,HDFC Bank etc but in admission pamplets huge company names are provided like infosys, wipro, etc. the average packages are 300000 -500000 per year. The cgpa of students should be higher than 7. I am planning for an on campus as well as off campus placements.

Overall Experience at college

Likes

The faculty members are supportive and approachable.
The MCA curriculum is aligned with current industry relevant subjects.
They organise sessions and seminars by experts.

Dislikes

More placement opportunities for relevant job profiles.
Practical application workshops related to emerging domains

Placement Experience:

Campus placements are available for students generally during the final year of the MCA program. The college provides sessions for resume making, mock interviews and soft skills. The placement opportunities and packages vary each year depending on the companies visiting the campus and students performance. After completing my MCA, I plan to build and apply my technical skills by securing a job in the IT sector.

ICEM for MCA is good or bad

Likes

The faculty and teaching member are knowledgeable and supportive . But they lag in explaining concepts . I think the every college has the same situation.The teaching is focused on books concepts rather than practical.The teachers lags in practicals.
The campus has a very very good infrastructure including high storage and RAM computers in the labs on which most of the software necessary for the programming works . Along with that the wifi is only avaiable for the Hostel students .Library is good
The college environment is friendly. I remember one event where Arsh Goel came for the students to motivate and give his insights on tech. Along with there is a sport ground for cricket, football, basket ball, gyms is available with provided items..

Dislikes

As well on the other side fake companies and smaller companies came like one fake company came name Data Tech Labs. Also opportunities depends on the TPO . In our time TPO was not good .For last batches TPO was good. And we had good placments ....
Real-world projects exposure will improve learning experience. I think students should be free to do internships after 1st semester . and in the 3rd semester the focused should be more on final placments..
Canteen is good but the prices are pretty high for the simple food . For a simple vegeterian thalli we have to pay 90 rs in which we are not able to have the sabji again and again . It is one time filling. And other items have little high prices....

Placement Experience:

Placments are really good like 4 students got 12 LPA at crowdstrike after successful internships. I think in our class 20 students got placed from college side and i think it can be improved , the college should give more freedom to students for their preparation rather than focusing on attendence Good companies like Delta Capita, Crowdstrike, Vanderland, Winspire Solutions came to the campus. The placment usually starts from 3rd semeser .

Excellent College

Placement Experience:

from the 2nd semester itself, the students are eligible for campus placements. companies like Capgemini, wurth-it, Godrej,Infosys, TCS, and Sankey visit very often and make a good no. of offers. the average package is around 4-5Lpa for freshers. about 80-90% of students get placed. I plan to work and learn after getting the degree.

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. Admission was a step-by-step process wherein we had to fill online forms and wait for merit lists to get displayed. After that, we were called to the institution for admission once we were selected. 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

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.
