This is how Somaiya works.

Placements: The percentage of people placed into companies from my class was no more than 15%. The average package was around 3 LPA. No internships were provided from college, and even if we find internships ourselves, they don't allow it as it may reduce our attendance.

Satisfied with the infrastructure, campus, fests and labs, but dissatisfied with the faculty.

Placements: I recently graduated with a degree in Computer Science Hons. from Somaiya Vidyavihar University’s batch of 2021-2024. I do not recommend SK Somaiya College to anyone who wants to get placed in top recruiting companies. We barely had a placements drive, I do not recall any top company coming into our college for placements. They did not conduct a walk-in placements drive. There were only 2-3 companies who were ready to give 2-2.5 LPA, the companies were all startup based. Not even a single studen...

Good infrastructure, bad campus placement.

Placements: There were very few companies that came for placement on the campus. Some of the roles offered were support engineer, business analyst, framework engineer, and so on. The average salary package offered was around 3 LPA. Very few students actually got placed from BCA.

Review of K J Somaiya College of Engineering.

Placements: Students with impressive resumes begin receiving job offers at our college as early as their third year. The college helps students get jobs by getting reputed companies to conduct on-campus interviews. Most students with a good GPA get placed.

Average college experience with some good memories.

Placements: Due to COVID number companies visited the campus was less than the previous years. Most of the companies are IT only one or two core companies. In Electronics department the highest package I know is around 7 lacs and the lowest package offered was around 2lac. Walters kluwer visited our campus and after aptitude test, technical interview, HR interview and VP interview they simply cancel the post they were offering means they took no one from campus saying we no more have openings.

The college can teach better.

Placements: I am still in second year. For now, college is offering internships but they are not useful. I am in the field of finance and all the internships offered are for sales and marketing. How am I supposed to be prepared for working in companies if I don't get any experience in the field of finance.

The course is good, but teachers are bad with less teaching experience and no placement assistance.

Placements: Initially, there was no assistance for placements. However, after continuous talking about placements, they started working on it. I was pursuing a master's of science in statistics. In this course, there are a total of 42 students. Out of them, 40 students are from the statistics background, and 2 students are from the biotechnology background. In our course, the highest salary package offered is 5 LPA, and the minimum salary package offered is 3 LPA. I got a salary package of 4 LPA in Wipro.

I'm unhappy with fee structure & placements of the mechanical branch. It has good sports facilities.

Placements: Only 60 students got placed out of 160 students from our batch. The highest salary package offered was 8 LPA, and the average salary package offered was around 3 LPA. I am absolutely dissatisfied with placements in the mechanical branch. The fee charged was way above average compared to the fee charged by any other engineering college.

Our college provides poor teaching.

Placements: I have hardly seen students of B.Sc. computer Science getting placed in well known reputed companies. Although students have approached various companies personally and got placed. Our next graduating batch had much more and better placement offers than us.

In our college biotechnology department and other departments have good opportunities.

Placements: I am in the first year so research is going on for future what specific field I can choose for my future coarse and my master's degree. I like the environment out there. Faculty members help us to upgrade our knowledge and give us information on the latest experiment and inventions going. In what field will biotechnology help and many more.

Take admission in this college if you don't get COEP or VJTI.

Placements: Placements in our college are good, and if you maintain your CGPA, then you can get placed. Our college provides an internship for students. Take admission in this college if you don't get COEP or VJTI.

Review of K J Somaiya College of Arts and Commerce.

Placements: Many students did not get placed from our college, as most of them opt for further studies. The average salary package offered was 2.5 LPA. I do not have any idea of the top recruiting companies as I was not a part of any process. The administrative role was offered to students. The college provided a winter internship in 2015, where around 80% of the students got selected.

I am dissatisfied with the infrastructure of the department.

Placements: There were no placements in our department. There were no companies visited to hire the students. The highest salary offered for B.Sc. students was somewhat around Rs.15,000-20,000 per month. The lowest salary offered was Rs. 5,000 per month. The job scenario in our field was the worst. There was no student prepared for jobs. The placements needed for students to work after B.Sc.

Fairly satisfied with the campus but placements are average.

Placements: Placements in our college are average. The ROI is very low as compared to other colleges. Moreover, SIPs offered are definitely not up to the mark. It is a student-driven society, thus creates a bit problem. Companies visiting the campus for placements are up to the mark for tier 2 colleges.

The college has a really good infrastructure and campus.

Placements: There were placements but very limited placements. It would be great if students get more opportunities to grow within the college and also outside the college. However, there are opportunities for overseas countries for students to grow.

A review about K J Somaiya College of Arts and Commerce.

Placements: The placements were not as good as I expected, they are very poor. The companies were good, but the eligibility criteria was too high. The placement process was average. I hope the placements will be good this year.

Average college, but self development opportunities are present.

Placements: The placements are pretty okay for the senior batch. Nearly, 20 students are not placed. Finally, 25 percent of the students got a package in the range of 6.5 to 8 lacs per annum. In summers, almost everyone got placed. Nearly, 15 percent students didn't get any stipend. Good companies will come to the campus for the placements.

Try to get something better.

Placements: Lot of big brands come here. They offer packages for tier 2 colleges. For more or less same role, packages offered by these companies vary hugely. One happy news is everyone gets placed. Problem is placement process is not transparent and sometimes creates issues.

Mediocre pay, okay profile, poor learning atmosphere, no professionalism.

Placements: Pay is mediocre however profile which comes to campus are not MBA profiles. 20% people end up with good profile, however 60-70 % end up in BFSI and IT is random profile. Finance is good for learning and placement. Operations is small batch with good profiles, but you should have a strong background to sell urself. Marketing is huge batch with aot on luck. HR is a straight no at SIMSR with no placement. Avg 9.5-10 l, the highest 26l, with 10 fix, 4 variable, remaining favorites and ESOP.

Satisfaction level post attending the college is below average as compared to what I had dreamt.

Placements: The college provides you less than average placement. It has almost completed 40 years, and with that sort of experience it should have huge alumni connect, and the expectation should be very high, but the college has achieved nothing of this sort. Meer focus is on getting the number of placements, the quality and brand take a back seat, and students are forced to sit in certain companies, and if they try to tank the process, they are banned from companies. Having said that not everything is bad...
