Student Review

As a student, I am quite amazed and proud that SJMSOM – IIT Bombay exceeds expectations in all these parameters. Let’s look in detail each one of them.

1. Placements – Look at the official report from SOM website and the companies, average package-16.5 ( 18+ more than 50% of the batch) and coveted profiles offered across domains will speak highly of themselves.

2. Faculty to student ratio – There are 23 “Core Faculties” for about 220 students which work out to a faculty: student ratio of about 1:10. If one includes the visiting faculty, the ratio will be even better.

3. Intellectual Capital – Cut off for admissions are very high and even 99+ may not suffice. This year the student with the lowest cut off who was called for the interview was having 98.36 percentile in CAT.

4. Industry exposure – Not even one month has been completed of the new session and we have interacted with the directors of more than 15 companies. Sessions like ‘Continuum’ and ‘Diksha’ where industry stalwarts come on weekends and talk about a certain topic with students are quite informative and helpful.

5. Location – Being in Mumbai provides you with more exposure than other cities (exception Delhi or Bangalore). Many college Alumni are just at a call distance and are ready to come, help and guide you whenever needed.

6. College Fees – Lowest after FMS in top B school. For this batch (2016-18) the fee is around 9 lakhs. Better ROI and lesser worry of education loan may not be the highest criteria but are one of the important ones to consider.

7. Batch size – the environment of any B school is very competitive and with just 110students in the batch, a close knit family is not forced upon but done as a choice.

8. College Infrastructure- That’s where being in IIT B helps immensely. IIT B has the best infrastructure amongst any college in our country. IIT Bombay is a small township in itself. Rich in natural flora and fauna to begin with, the campus’ green cover has been maintained and even increased over the years. World class swimming pools, exceptional sports facilities, Incubators for start-ups, hostel facilities, hospital, post office, banks, central library, theatrical clubs, linguistic clubs, photography clubs, mountaineering clubs, any club you name it and we have it.

9. Business Incubator – Many students aspire to be an entrepreneur after Management degree and if you can find space with all the resources to implement the same with minimum expenditure then it could be of immense help. SINE, Society for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, is an umbrella for the promotion of entrepreneurship at IIT Bombay. SINE administers a business incubator that provides support for technology – based entrepreneurship.
