Do colleges in Mumbai such asSPIT, KJ Somaiya and DJ Sanghavi have management quota?

SK
Shailesh Kothari Posted On : December 26th, 2022
Studied at K. J. Somaiya College of Engineering

All the 3 colleges you mentioned admit students through the central admission process (CAP) rounds which are undertaken by the Directorate of Technical Education, Maharashtra (DTE). 

The admission process through cap rounds is always based on merit. If there are seats vacant after the 3 cap rounds, then colleges may admit the students through the management quota.

Management quota is not applicable before the end of round 3

The major drawback is that by the end of round 3, mostly all the seats of the reputed branches are taken. So I won’t recommend you wait till the end of 3rd round unless you are planning to pursue chemical or production engineering.

Should freshers take a 15 lakh bank loan, and study for a MBA in TAPMI or KJ SOMAIYA?

SS
Shreya Shah Posted On : December 26th, 2022
Studied at K. J. Somaiya College of Engineering

I will answer your question by estimating the salary you will earn after completing MBA and comparing it with the loan you have to pay.

Loan Amount - 15 Lakhs.

Interest rate - 12%

Repayment period - 5 years

EMI - 33,367

Total Interest Paid in 5 years - 502000

Tax Saved in 5 years (considering 20% tax slab) - 100400

Net amount to be paid in 5 years - 1500000+502000–100400 = 19,01,600

Average package in TAPMI - 10.06 LPA

Monthly salary in hand - Approx 65 to 70K

From the above calculation we can infer that you will have 30000-40000 salary in hand every month which is more than enough for you to settle in any state or city in India. So taking loans for an MBA is very beneficial as it will pay you back in the long run.
