Life at KJ

I was looking for this course for my post-graduation. There are back-to-back lectures as there is a block system. Hence every subject is taught for 10 days. The faculty is good enough. They have many visiting faculties who are currently working in big companies in higher positions. Their experience brings in a lot of industrial exposure. Adding to it, regular case study discussions take place in every subject.

KJ: "The Home, The Brand, The Experience"

The curriculum is very updated and most of the faculty focuses on Case Studies and Real World examples to teach topics. I choose this course as I want to work as a Marketing expert in the industry so that's why I decided to go for MBA. Most of the faculty are industry veterans. Term exams are scheduled on time.

An honest Somaiya review

The course curriculum is very broad covering a wide range of subjects that enhance our analytical as well as logical abilities. We have almost 8 subjects on average in each trimester. During the second year, we will also have to choose a minor specialization along with the major specialization subject. Faculty members are excellent with impeccable academic records and a vast amount of industry exposure and experience. I chose this course because I always wanted to do marketing and thought this is a better way to move forward towards the goal. The batch size is 690 and each class on average has 66 students. Exams are held every 3 months and it is medium difficult to pass exams.

Life at KJSIM

I chose this course because of my interest in business and how the corporate world works. The faculty is great at KJSIM. Along with theory, practical knowledge is also provided and practical life examples are given and students are expected to do case studies and presentations for overall learning. Every faculty member has different qualifications, most of them are Ph.D. in their fields, some are IIMS, and IITS alums and some were in the corporate world earlier. Exams are held 3 times a year and if the student pays attention in class and regularly studies, the exams are not difficult to pass.

K J Somaiya: Wings to my career

MBA was necessary to shape up my entire career trajectory and K J Somaiya Institue of Management aligned rightly with my expectations. They have an excellent faculty with a faculty: student ratio of 1:24. They inculcate knowledge majorly via the use of various HBR cases and fun activities. Classes at K J Somaiya are full of learning and fun. HBR teaching method helps students in understanding various real industry-based scenarios. The majority of the professors are stalwarts in various domains of management with several years of work experience. Our end-term exams are pretty well structured and are as per the schedule. They require conceptual clarity along with some practice.
