The Honest Hour

Location advantage as Mumbai is the hub of business and most of the reputed companies come here for the placements. Best campus and pedagogy in Mumbai. Best fit for Finance and Marketing. Sports facilities. Decent average package.

Retail management is very close to Marketing core and I have been always interested in marketing. Also, I want to pursue the FMCG sector so MBA in retail management is best suited for me. Faculty: student would be 1:15 here. Some are permanent and some faculties are guest faculties. The online mode of teaching has restricted us from answering this question precisely. We are undergoing online studies due to covid and it is not satisfactory at all.

College brings internships but only the top 20 percent gets a worth its internship. The next 30 percent of students get 10-15k per month internship and the last 50% of the batch gets an unpaid internship. I got an internship at Mumbai in Wellness Forever and it is paid one but still had better hopes after spending 20 lacs.

After we are done with our 4th trimester in Aug/Sept, the companies start coming for recruitment. The batch size of K J Somaiya is too large now (550+) so do not get into the trap of the highest and top 10, 20 percent placement thing. The average is around 9.5-10 LPA but then the fixed component is around 7.5 only. Not recommended at all after investing 20 lac rupees.

College increases the fee by 1.5 lacs every year and it is not justified. The course is overpriced and the current fee for the batch starting from 2021 is around 16.5 lacs. It can go in complete online mode and therefore it is not worth it.

We had our annual fest Melange in online mode this year. To be honest its a complete wastage in online mode. The campus and infrastructure of the institute are wonderful but it is of no use as everything is going online and no one has visited the college. All the infra and sports facilities of the college are untouched by us and it is the end of our 1st year.

We had a case discussion, a Written ability test and then a personal interview. The admission process is a mix of various components ranging from a case discussion to your academics and extracurricular CAT/XAT cutoff is around 80 percentile.
