The honest review of SIMSR PGDM.

Placements: It is a tier 2 college with an inexperienced TPO and placement team. The placements are good only for freshers but not for experienced people. 90% of the batch gets placed between 8 LPA to 9.5 LPA regardless whatever they claim. Do not expect high paying companies. Only a handful of companies come and take 1 or 2 persons. Most of the companies that visit are BFSI companies for finance or marketing. Operations and HR to depend on other stream companies only for placements.

K.J Somaiya offers a plethora of opportunities to grow and learn.

Placements: Placements are good. Not all the candidates got the profile they wanted. However, not everyone earns as much as expected. Most of the companies offered a package below the average package offered by the college. Live project opportunities are many though.

Good campus but requires better faculty members and facilities.

Placements: Totally, it depends on the placement committee. Though a vast alumni network is there, the placements are not great. Overall, the placements are not bad though. Good companies come to recruit finance and marketing students. For HR, the scenario is a bit bleak given a handful of students.

Satisfied with some good faculty, placements opportunities, good infrastructure.

Placements: Students have good opportunity to get placed in a dream company. Also, 90% students got placed in my batch. There are mass recruiter companies like Accenture, Infosys, TCS and L&T. Even if you didn't get placed in the passed out year, you are eligible for placements in the next year.

Great for campus life and sports but expensive regarding placements.

Placements: If you are looking for direct campus placements, the record for mechanical engineering is not very impressive as few companies offered jobs for the mechanical branch. However for computers and IT branch you can get good placements. The highest package offered was 16 LPA.

The college has a good infrastructure and a challenging environment, but overall college is ok.

Placements: The placements for our seniors was from average to good, and almost 80% of the batch was placed with a decent package and with a good profile. However, the rest of the 20% of the people had to compromise on either a good package or on the profile preferences. The placements are ongoing for the current batch and are also good considering the recent market scenario.

Dissatisfied with education as no practical exposure, only theoretical

Placements: The average is 8.5 and 70% got placed till December. Roles offered are more of sales and marketing. The highest stipend is 160000 in finance. For marketing, the highest is 7000 and the average is 9000. There are more sales profiles and marketing people not happy with the profiles being offered. Companies like Henkelp, Radio Mirchi, Kora, Morgan Stanley and JPMC visited.

Nice college but can be avoided if other colleges are available since the fee is very high.

Placements: Placement was good. Companies like Larsen & Toubro, Godrej, Wipro, Accenture, TCS, Infosys, etc. visited for recruitment. They hired almost 50% of the students. Placement team is not very efficient. However, it changes after every 3-4 years hence probabilities of a better team are there.

Very decent college. Just do MBA here for the sake of it.

Placements: 95 percent of students got placed but the quality of profiles is not good. The average salary is low and facts of placement salaries are hidden while some are not counted. Very less reputed companies are coming and the process of placement is mismanaged. The bug company which comes takes only 1-2 candidates.

The college has good infrastructure and subjects in the field of marketing communications. The college provides us good facilities. Marketing communication gives us an all-round learning and development. SIMSR supports students in their career to aim big and help them with all the support required.

The college is a good place to study. The students get good exposure to extra and co-curricular activities. Also, attendance is not that stringent. The college is accredited and so holds a good reputation especially for mechanical engineering. The campus is really huge with a hostel facility and there are lots of canteens. The bad side is poor infrastructure as compared to the fees charged. Teaching and faculty could be better. The college is autonomous since 2015, so its really a good choice to...

I study in Somaiya and we have the best of renowned and dedicated faculty. The whole curriculum is designed to provide flexibility to students to choose among interdisciplinary subjects as per one’s personal interests and choices. The campus provides an awesome range of facilities and infrastructure for sports and fitness, on par with the best in the world, a meagre fee as the institute is government run.

GGS College of Modern Technology is no doubt one of the oldest Engineering College in nearby areas. It was established in 2002. The infrastructure of this college is incredible. The faculties are very much supportive but most of them are very young and inexperienced. Although, a slight improvement in the method of delivery of lectures is needed because a true engineer is one who is clear with the fundamentals of all the subjects. One more improvement should be done by this college that a keen in...

It is an average college as compared to other top colleges in Mumbai. The professors are well experienced but very few have in-depth knowledge regarding particular subjects. The labs are very well equipped with the required instruments. The college lacks in terms of others facilities like the playground and International/Domestic exposure. Also, it has a single building.

KJSCE is one of the most well-known engineering colleges in Mumbai. Also, it has got autonomy last year and only 2 colleges earlier in Mumbai had this prestige. Good points: - It has the biggest campus in Mumbai. Nearly all the students get a job through the campus placements. This does not mean that you will surely get a job, but 1 thing is sure, that opportunities are plenty, it is you who should know how to grab them. There is Wi-Fi in the building and good computers to work on along with a ...

It is nice college to explore yourself personally as well as professionally. Fees: Rs. 1,10,583 per year. Keeping the facilities and infrastructure in mind, the tuition fee is exorbitant. Faculty: Lectures are certainly conducted in English and most of the professors are M.Tech/PhD holders but striking a chord with the students has always been a problem here. Placements: Students take admission here because of the placements. Placements at KJ Somaiya College of Engineering are good and have ...

Overall, KJSCE is a very good college and should be amongst the top choices of a student, if s/he resides in this part of Mumbai. For others, travelling becomes a disadvantage. A good bet for an average scorer.While placements is one of the strong plus points of this college; average faculty has been a perrenial problem. With its recent autonomous status, KJ Somaiya will surely strive hard to become one of the top engineering colleges in Mumbai.

This institute is known as SIMSR in popular parlance. While the faculty and pedagogy is mediocre at best, the quality of students for the PGDM course is good. Peer learning is good. But of late, the institute has severely increased its batch strength, resulting in dilution of brand and compromise of placements. It’s a value for money for freshers.
