Life at KJSIM

I chose this course because of my interest in business and how the corporate world works. The faculty is great at KJSIM. Along with theory, practical knowledge is also provided and practical life examples are given and students are expected to do case studies and presentations for overall learning. Every faculty member has different qualifications, most of them are Ph.D. in their fields, some are IIMS, and IITS alums and some were in the corporate world earlier. Exams are held 3 times a year and if the student pays attention in class and regularly studies, the exams are not difficult to pass.

There are a total of 6 trimesters in MBA, 3 in the first year and the remaining 3 in the second trimester. A student becomes eligible for college placements in the 4th trim, which is the beginning of the second year. Numerous companies visit the campus and there is 100% placement provided by the college. The highest packages go above 20 lakhs and the lowest around 8-9 lakhs. My plans after getting the degree are to get into the corporate world and climb the corporate ladder.

The fees for 2 years are around 19 lakhs per student, 9 lakhs for the first year, and the remaining in the second. The cost of management studies is high but it becomes worth it because of the opportunities provided to students including summer internships and final placements. Many scholarships are available under Financial aid for children with low economic conditions. But I did not avail of any of the scholarships, my entire fees were self-funded.

The annual fest of the college is held in February named Melange. The library is fully equipped with books ranging from various themes and study books. The classrooms are well equipped with projectors and AC, mic, and fans, and are well furnished. Sports and extracurricular activities are given a lot of attention in college. Various sports competitions are held during the year and also college teams are formed to participate in various college competitions. There are around 20 clubs in college and 5 exclusive committees, where all the activities are run by the students. Many conferences are held by these committees and clubs and help the students to reach various people in the corporate world. Also, these clubs and committees help the students to know about what is happening in the market and how it affects their domain marketing, HR, etc. Also, the campus is very big and green. The walks on the campus rejuvenate the children after long hours of study.

I availed hostel facility and I'm very happy with my decision. It is so because the hostel room is big enough to accommodate 3 children and every room has its own attached washroom, where hot water is available all the time. In the room, there are 2 fans, and big windows for proper ventilation, each student gets a table, almirah, bed, bed box, chair, and a wifi connection can be availed. The food at the mess is also nice and a new menu is made for every week, and it is kept in mind not to repeat the meals. In meals, fruits, milk, tea, cool drinks, and sweets are given respectively with different meals. The registration process is easy, the students have to choose yes to avail hostel facility at the time of registration and then a mail from the college will be sent to the student for further details and fees.

I gave CAT, NMAT, and XAT exams, and their scores were considered by KJ SIM, the eligibility criteria was to get the minimum marks required as the cut-off marks were set. Also, had to give an online case study presentation and PI, to get into KJSIM. Application forms are available on the website of the college. I did not avail of any reservation. The admission process is pretty smooth, so no changes.
