I have a few friends from KJ Somaiya College of Arts and Commerce, so I can give you some insight into their BMS course. 

KJ Somiya is not a good option if you really want to pursue BMS for knowledge and not just for the sake of a degree. The teaching experience for BMS at KJ Somiya will not be satisfactory. 

If you prefer knowledge over a degree, then you should go to some other better colleges such as MCC in Mulund. But, if you just want a degree in BMS then you can opt for KJ Somaiya. KJ Somaiya has a huge campus. This is advantageous if you want to bunk lectures and have fun sometimes.

Having some of my friends study in both colleges, I can say that enrolling in Shaheed Sukhdev for BMS would be much more apt than that of IIM Rohtak for IPM. Both the colleges hold their places enormously but Shaheed Sukhdev will be better due to their overall educational experience.

There are several reasons for choosing it, some are:

• BMS as compared to IPM is a much older course.
• The placement of Shaheed Sukhdev reached heights due to their BMS course.
• The highest package offered to the students of Sukhdev College was around 18 LPA (latest).
• You can also get a chance to do your MBA from some other top IIMs in the country later on in life.
• Moreover, IPM Rohtak would be taking in its second batch, and hence no point in talking about placements.

It is suggested that you choose BMS over IPM. Though, both have their pros and cons but opting for BMS is worth more than IPM. Also, Sukhdev has a great market reputation and placement record. After all, it’s your decision that matters. Think appropriately for yourself. Good Luck.
