Placement Experience:

In the initial months of the 1st semester, we go through the summer placement process where 100% batch gets placed within a few days and the average stipend for this batch was 3.03 Lakh. The special thing about SJMSOM is that 50-60% of the batch gets PPO from the summer internships itself and thus for the finals only half of the batch competes among each other. The average package for the Final Placement is 28.88 LPA and the highest package is 54 LPA with 100% placement. Almost all top companies from FMCG to Investment Banking participate in the placement process and there are ample opportunities for the students to get their dream roles.

Remarks:

The complete admission process was seamless for SJMSOM as compared to other institutes. It starts with appearing for the CAT examination in which we need to score 90 percentile overall and 75 percentile in sectionals to be eligible in the open category ( www.som.iitb.ac.in ). The application forms opened around the first week of January and we applied from the admissions page of SJMSOM for the same. The shortlists were released around mid-February and the interviews were held in the first week of march through an AI-based interactive platform named Gather. We were also allotted PI Buddies who aided us throughout the process.

Placement Experience:

Students are eligible for campus placements from the first semester itself. The companies visiting include all top FMCG companies like HUL, ITC, Asian Paints and more. There are placements in finance and marketing including general management too. All of the batches were placed and 113 offers were made during the placement process itself and there are no exceptions who were placed late. My plans after getting this degree are to learn in a dynamic role and grow horizontally before making a name for myself in the SC role at a decision-making level in the long term future.

Remarks:

The course is only eligible for people with a 4-year degree. The application forms could be tracked on the website and telegram groups and the date for application was the 31st of January. The application fee was 1600rs and no reservation benefits were availed by me. The admission process was seamless and on time, and the dates were followed religiously. One recommendation I would have is that they should provide confirmation after acceptance of the offer letter for those who need to withdraw from other colleges.

Ques

Which B-school should I join if I have converted TISS, SJMSOM (IITB) and NITIE?

● Top Answer By Raktim Ghose on 11 Aug 21

Ans
All three colleges are on top and choosing one among three is not easy. But I can give you some ideas about them as I have friends studying at these institutes. TISS is one of the most reputed colleges for HRM courses in the country. The top two institutes for HR programs are XLRI and 2nd is TISS. XLRI holds first place due to its history and huge batch size and placements. TISS is growing fast but still doesn’t have the same presence as XLRI has. TISS though has the advantage of a very small batch size compared to XLRI, which means lesser competition. And again TISS is at Bombay while XLRI is at Jamshedpur. I would say TISS is still a very good option for aspirants interested in HR. NITIE and SOM are the top two colleges in India for operations and supply chain profiles with NITIE being the clear number 1. Long history and a huge batch size result in lots of senior supply chain managers from NITIE across various companies. On the other hand, though 20 years old, SOM was upgraded only recently, to 120 batch size from earlier 60.Students are getting to the top but SOM does not have the same presence as NITIE. NITIE has more recruiting companies with cushy pay packages as compared to SOM. Although SOM is improving its placement numbers rapidly. SOM does boast of elegant IIT B infrastructure and less batch size and hence, lesser competition due to smaller batches. But NITIE would give you more options in terms of placements. So my preference order will be the following. TISS (HR) > NITIE (Operations & SCM) > SJMSOM (Finance & others) So, choose wisely based on your preferred domain. And in case you are interested in Marketing, both NITIE & SJMSOM are equally good.

Ques

Which is a better college for finance: NITIE or SJMSOM?

● Top Answer By Shreya Prasad on 12 Aug 21

Ans
I think I can give you some insight regarding NITIE and SJMSOM since I have friends from both institutes. Both are nearly identical, however, SJMSOM may be a better choice because NITIE promotes itself as an Operations majors institution, whereas SJMSOM promises to cover all fields. As a result, you may have more prospects in the finance industry at SJMSOM than at NITIE. The table below has a brief comparison of the two institutes.  Parameters  NITIE SJMSOM Course fee 13 lakhs (approx) 9 lakhs Placement rate 100% 100% Average salary package 19 lakhs 20 lakhs Highest salary package 46 lakhs 34 lakhs So, going by the above-mentioned factors, I will say SJMSOM may be a better alternative for Finance.

Ques

Which is better to join sjmsom (IIT BOMBAY) or new IIM like Trichy, Udaipur, Ranchi etc. please give stats also?

● Top Answer By Sidhharth Jain on 25 Jan 23

Ans
When considering which business school to attend, it can be helpful to think about the impact that the institute will have on your resume. On the one hand, SJMSOM is an older institute that is well-known for its engineering program at IIT. While it may have a strong reputation in certain fields, it may not be as well-known for its MBA program. On the other hand, the newer IIMs, including IIM Ranchi, have not yet fully established their reputations in the business world. While they may have the prestige of being part of the IIM network, they may not yet have the same level of recognition as older institutes.  Ultimately, the value of an MBA degree will depend on what you make of it and the effort you put into your studies and career development. It is important to carefully consider both the reputation and the resources of the business school you choose in order to make the most of your MBA experience.

Ques

Which one should I choose between IIM Kozhikode or IIT Bombay SJMSOM? Why?

● Top Answer By Anuraj Sinha on 20 Apr 22

Ans
You should choose IIM Kozhikode. SJMSOM is a good B-School and maintained a decent record over the last few years. However, choosing IIM Kozhikode will offer you the brand value advantages of IIM and long-term returns.  IIM Kozhikode has a better faculty base for management. You will also get good opportunities to attend lectures by some of the famous visiting faculty. IIM Kozhikode placements are pretty good as well. As per the 2022 placement highlights, the median CTC offered to the students is around INR 26.5 LPA.

Ques

Which one to choose SJMSOM or IIM Indore?

● Top Answer By Gargi Roy on 24 Aug 21

Ans
Both SJMSOM and IIM Indore are distinguished B-Schools in this league. IIM is a brand name on its own and offers certain perks that make it a better choice.  Specialization: SJMSOM is known for its Operations and IT/Analytics/Consulting. Most of the students remain confused in choosing their specialization and tend to delve into their options at the end of their first year. This can be quite helpful if you want to explore your options in the first year and then choose a specialization.  Placements: The factor that affects placements is the batch size. The less the batch size the more efficiently and steadily the placements are done with. Often IIM Indore completes their placement before SJMSOM and other IIMs. However, the competition at IIM Indore is high. According to the recent placement highlights the average CTC offered at SJMSOM and IIM Indore is 20 LPA and 23 LPA.  Campus: IIM Indore has a splendid campus situated out of the city. The campus is huge and is one of the best campuses in India. At SJMSOM, the campus is to be shared with engineering students. However, this is not much of a problem for students. IIM Indore also provides more extracurricular opportunities. Hopefully, this would be helpful for you in making the right choice.

Ques

Which college is better IIM Kozhikode or SJMSOM? I have a work experience of 23 months with average academics.

● Top Answer By Yash Agarwal on 15 Sept 21

Ans
Definitely, both the B-Schools are great but IIMK should be your first choice. Unless we are discussing Operation then I would advise you to opt for SJMSOM. You will have trouble with placements due to your average academics as most of your peers will have better academic records. You will always get opportunities to make your profile better. You can improve your profile by winning competitions, holding significant PORs, and getting an excellent grade in your MBA programme.  Even if you don’t get your desired placement, you can excel in the job and leverage your performance in the corporate world along with the IIM alumni network on your side. That way you will be able to fetch better opportunities a few years later.  Here are the recent placement highlights for the institutes.  Parameters  IIM Kozhikode SJMSOM Average CTC  22.5 LPA  21 LPA  Highest CTC  46 LPA  32 LPA Major recruiters  Asian Paints, Amazon, Brain & Co. JCB, Infosys, Flipkart IIM Kozhikode definitely offers certain advantages which makes it a superior choice.

Ques

How much will a low grad score affect summer and final placements in NITIE (PGDIM), SJMSOM IIT B, and XLRI BM?

● Top Answer By Jyoti Mishra on 09 Jun 21

Ans
My cousin is an alumnus of NITIE and has spent two years in the institute as a student. His opinion is based on professional experience and may not be true for summer and final placements at SJMSOM and XLRI. Companies consider students with good grades as an equivalent proxy to dedication at the workplace, and the ability of the students to analyze critically and intensively. The merit required for the consideration is open to question and/or debate. Marks obtained in high school and graduation usually serve as filter criteria for filtering out worthy students from hundreds of them. Experience in work in domain and years or the lack of it and the college you completed your undergraduate degree from matter in a few cases. It is wrong to say that one of these matters will nullify and get you a place in the shortlist for the subsequent selection rounds. A counter-argument can turn up claiming that the companies do not look at the scores. It is up to the students concerned to follow this notion.

Ques

Which college should I join, SJMSOM or NITIE or IIM-I?

● Top Answer By Rahul Raj on 20 Aug 21

Ans
After doing some research on the internet, I would say that NITIE, SJMSOM, and IIM-I have their own pros and cons.  Students with good academic records prefer to join IIM Indore rather than NITIE and SJMSOM.  But there will be more opportunities available during the summer placement in NITIE and SJMSOM.  In order to get a good placement in the final year, you must convert the opportunity into PPO/PPI. If you are more inclined towards marketing and finance then IIM Indore will be good for you, as it will provide better opportunities than NITIE and SJMSOM. If you are passionate about Supply chain and Operations then NITIE is the place to be. NITIE being in the financial capital of India offers a location advantage as compared to IIM Indore. The below table can provide you with the basic information about them. Category NITIE SJMSOM IIM Indore Recruiters Dabur, ITC, Johnson & Johnson, Marico, etc. Amazon, Deloitte, Cadbury, Axis Bank, etc. Abbott, Flipkart, Network18, Accenture, etc. Average CTC INR 20.88 LPA INR 21.96 LPA INR 23.6 LPA Lowest CTC INR 20.7 LPA INR 22.00 LPA INR 6.00 LPA Highest CTC INR 58.2 LPA INR 32.80 LPA INR 41.5 LPA Therefore, choosing NITIE, SJMSOM or IIM Indore depends on you and in which field you want to make your career. It will be completely your decision, so play along your strengths.

Which is a better college between SJMSOM and IIM Shillong?

● Top Answer By Priyanshu Sinha on 22 Sept 22

Ans
IIM Shillong is the better college among these. The institute puts emphasis on hands-on learning. You will learn how to handle real-time issues. The coursework and teaching go well beyond classroom learning. IIM Shillong has made great strides in recent years in terms of facilities and infrastructure. It has an impressive placement record. IIM Shillong placements in 2022 witnessed the highest CTC of INR 55.22 LPA. This year the major recruiters were Deloitte, DE Shaw, TATA Steel, etc.
