Which is better as per placements and quality of education: GIM, SIIB, Fore IB, or KJ Somaiya?

KJ

Although all the B Schools you mentioned are very good, the one I would personally recommend is FORE. Some points that favor my recommendation are

  • Location-based crowd: All the other colleges you mentioned have students mainly from Mumbai. But FORE located in New Delhi, the heart of the country has students from all over India.
  • Placement: Here’s a tabular comparison of the average and highest CTC of the colleges. 

College 

Average Package

Highest package

GIM

INR 12.1 LPA

INR 30.2 LPA

FORE

INR 14.04 LPA

INR 41 LPA

KJ Somaiya

INR 10.98 LPA

INR 26.50 LPA

SIBM Bangalore 

INR 10.60 LPA

INR 32 LPA

  • Fees: 

GIM: ?18,31,200

FORE: Rs.16,98,000

KJ Somaiya: ?9.59 Lakhs (one year)

SIBM: INR 3.53 L - 16.62 L(for 2-3 years)

FORE offers industry oriented certifications and International Immersion Program. So looking at the overall picture we can say all 4 colleges give each other tough competition but FORE takes the lead.

How good is KJ Somaiya for MBA in Finance and International Business?

RT
Rajat Tokas Posted On : January 6th, 2023
MBA from K.J. Somaiya Institute of Management Studies and Research (SIMSR)

To begin with, there is no such thing as a "flagship" in college, so you may not have heard anything about going to KJ Somaiya for marketing or that it is best for HR or Finance. All programs, specialized or super-specialized, are treated equally, and top-tier faculty are available for all courses.

There is almost nothing significant on which any of the programs can be graded. It all comes down to personal preference. If you want to work in International Business (finance or marketing), go for it; if you want to learn everything there is to know about finance, financial services are the way to go. In any case, you won't be short on opportunities.
