Hello, between these two, one should opt for SIMSREE over Welingkar due to the following reasons:-
1. ROI: SIMSREE emerges as the clear winner as it provides the second best ROI (after FMS) in India.
2. Brand name: Both are quite popular in Maharashtra, SIMSREE is much older.
3. Industry exposure: Since both are located in Mumbai, they offer great exposure. However, SIMSREE slightly edges ahead due to its close proximity to Nariman Point, a bustling business hub in South Mumbai.
4. Placements: Again, SIMSREE is ahead as the average package is around Rs 9 lakhs while Welingkar has Rs 7 lakhs.
5. Fees: Due to the fare hike this year, Welingkar loses out on this factor. Whereas SIMSREE has a very affordable tuition fee amount of Rs 1.38 lakhs; thus no fretting over repaying those education loans.
6. Rankings: SIMSREE is ahead of Welingkar here as well.
The only aspect where Welingkar wins is its good infrastructure. Else, an aspirant should give first priority to SIMSREE and keep Welingkar as a backup option.
