Somaiya Vidyavihar University Mumbai Answered Questions

Yup, you do have a good chance of converting FS. IB might not be possible. The placements for all courses are on the same platform, and they are all good. You'll be eligible for all finance companies and profiles in FS. The scene will be clearer after the counselling process is done.

Unfortunately, this is too specific to keep track of. Each company has a different package, and may even offer different packages based on profile, experience etc. So i cannot answer your question. Just know that the average package stated is quite accurate, as a lot of companies were certainly offering packages around 9 lakhs.

As part of RM, you will essentially be a marketing student. As such, you will be allowed to sit for all marketing profiles which the college gets like Business development, b2b sales, product management, deputy manager etc. Moreover, as the course is oriented towards the retail sector, it may give you an edge if a retail company comes for recruitment.

Yes, kj is quite good for finance. The placements for MMS finance take place with the pgdm finance and are given the same opportunities. The average package this year was Rs 9.4 lakh,with almost 100% placements. We have a lot of banks coming to campus along with other finance firms.

Both courses are at par as far placements are concerned. IB is more oriented towards the global scenario, and that reflects in the subjects. In core, you have 4 specializations available (Marketing, Finance, Operations, HR) while in IB you have 2 (Marketing and Finance). Therefore, which course you want depends on your interests.

Unfortunately, this is too specific to keep track of. Each company has a different package, and may even offer different packages based on profile, experience etc. So i cannot answer your question. Just know that the average package stated is quite accurate. You should be able to go by this figure and expect a package somewhere around it.

I would say simsr is definitely better than liba and at least at par with tapmi. The one advantage SIMSR has over Tapmi is location, in my opinion. Being in Mumbai not only puts you in the financial and business capital of the country but also gives you access to a multitude of resources like Heads of industry who routinely interact with students via guest lectures, lectures by special faculties specialising in some field of knowledge, competitions held by other business schools etc. You can take admission to Tapmi and then depending on the SIMSR results, you could decide whether to join tapmi or SIMSR. Most colleges will refund the amount paid if admission is cancelled.

It depends on what you call better placement. The average package this was Rs. 9.4 lakhs with more than 95% of the batch placed. The highest package was 21 lakhs. We have huge brands in sectors like IT, FMCG, BFSI etc. coming in every year. Depending on these statistics, you can see if you can get the placement you desire.
