Should you pick MBA Executive at KJSIM?

This course suits working people who want to move into general management in Mumbai without a two-year break.

Pick it if:

You want to move from one function into general management: the course is built around leadership and strategy, and every classmate joins with years of work behind them.

You want to stay close to the finance firms: the campus is within 10 km of Bandra Kurla Complex, and alumni of this course work at JP Morgan and KPMG.

You want a short break from work: the course takes 15 months, not two years, and term 3 is a summer internship or capstone you can use to switch roles.

You want the fee back fast: at the 2024 average pay the fee without hostel comes back in about one working year, as the ROI tile shows.

Skip it if:

You want a big batch and a long list of recruiters: the batch is only 30, so the placement process is small and you should build your own contacts too.

You are counting on the highest offer: the 2024 median was INR 13 LPA against a highest offer of INR 24.95 LPA, so plan your loan on the median.

You are a few months short of 42 months of work: the institute counts work only up to the last date to apply, so an early form does not help.

You need a scholarship to join: Somaiya financial aid goes only to EWS, BPL, PwD and defence ward students, and you can hold one aid in a year.

Counsellor's advice

If you have 42 months of work and want a general management role, apply early in the cycle. Prepare hard for the interview, since it carries half of the final score.
