K J Somaiya Institute of Management Ghatkopar East Mumbai Answered Questions

MMS is a Mumbai University program, and the degree will be awarded by the university, whereas PGDM is a fully autonomous program, which is conducted by Somaiya. While the difference isn't much, PGDM is more flexible and changes are made very quickly as per the changing demands of the industry. Placements for both PGDM and MMS are conducted together and there is no difference in the packages.

Sorry, but we do not accept CET scores for the PGDM Course. Only CAT, XAT and CMAT are accepted for PGDM. The fees for OBC seats changes year to year according to DTE norms. However, I am not aware of the exact fees for the MMS course this year.

KJ Somaiya has a student driven placement committee which supports the Training and Placement Office. The committee provides 100% placement support to each student of the college. Companies with a variety of profiles come to campus across sectors and functions. The average package was around Rs.9 lacs last year while the highest went upto Rs.22 lacs.

The Marketing Communications course, while giving you a thorough foundation in all marketing related subjects (including Business Research, Stats etc.), is more oriented towards Advertising, Digital Marketing etc., which are among the fastest growing fields in marketing. Moreover, the course has a lot of practical components to it, like video shooting, editing etc. All these things will add invaluable experience to you if you are interested in advertising, or even sales. The placements for the course have been very good this year, on par with all other courses. If you are interested in marketing, I would suggest you go for it.

KJ has a full time 15 month Executive program. Placement support is provided to all students. At last 5 years of work experience post graduation is required in order to pursue this program. However, placements are not 100% and some students prefer seeking placement on their own.
