I think that you should try to get into IIMs first. Getting a loan for IIMs will be worth it. Still, if the return on investment is good, you can get a loan for 20 lakhs and go to one of the b schools between GIM, TAPMI, KJ Somaiya. You can talk to seniors from the above-mentioned schools to find out the usual academic, placement rate, and college life. If you think it's important, you should do it.

Studied at K. J. Somaiya College of Engineering

The well-known KJ Somaiya College of Arts and Commerce in Mumbai, India, offers undergraduate and postgraduate studies in several subjects. The qualifying exam determines merit-based admission to the college's undergraduate programs.

KJ Somaiya College of Arts and Commerce's Bachelor of Commerce (B.Com) program requires 45% marks in the 10+2 exam or an equivalent exam from a recognized board. Candidates also need at least 50% in Accountancy/Mathematics in the qualifying test.

You achieved 80% in 11th grade, but without knowing your 12th-grade score, it's hard to say if you'll get into KJ Somaiya College of Arts and Commerce's B.Com program. The B.Com program's cutoff depends on the number of applicants, the number of seats, and the applicants' academic achievement.

Check the college's website or call the admission office for B.Com program cutoff scores. This will improve your college acceptance odds. You can also apply to other B.Com colleges with cutoff scores that match your academic performance.

What should I go for, KJ SIMSR full-time PGDM or IMT-Ghaziabad DCP?

AG
Akriti Gupta Posted On : May 18th, 2023

KJ SIMSR is primarily recognized only in Maharashtra, whereas IMT Ghaziabad has an international reputation with faculty members who have taught at IIMs and international B-Schools. So the latter might provide better opportunities for exposure to a diverse student body and higher-quality faculty.

However, the DCP program at IMT Ghaziabad is expensive, and the quality of internships in Dubai might not be up to par with other international B-Schools. Additionally, the international exposure offered by IMT Dubai might not be of much relevance.

The unsaid truth about business schools in India is that most internships and short-term projects are obtained through personal connections rather than institutional affiliation, so if you have strong connections in the business world, then it won’t matter which program you choose.

Students from economically backward backgrounds can also pursue courses at the leading B schools in India. They can apply for an educational loan, so they can easily secure admission to most colleges.

Institutes like Great Lakes and IMT gave more importance to the intellectual background of students. They won’t reject a candidate with high potential in the field. So, it is worth opting for an educational loan to secure admission to the aforementioned institutes

What is your preference for NMIMS Bangalore, TAPMI, KJ, and Nirma for an MBA course?

AJ
Advait Joshi Posted On : May 17th, 2023
Lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

If you are 25-26 years of age, I would suggest you go for one more attempt along with your job. If you even get into TAPMI with this much experience there are high chances that you will not get a good placement. 

Having this much work experience, you can go for MBA from BLACKI (Banglore, Lucknow, Ahmedabad, Calcutta, Kozhikode, Indore), XLRI Jamshedpur, FMS, and other premium institutes. 

These institutes can easily offer a package of more than 25 lacs and even a good strategy and consulting profile and plus you can get a tag for a lifetime which will help you to accelerate your career.
