SIMSREE - Sydenham Institute of Management Studies Research and Entrepreneurship Education Churchgate Mumbai Answered Questions

The cut-offs for All India Quota (CMAT, CAT, MAT, ATMA, etc ) for the 2017-19 batch were around 99.96 percentile.
While CET cut-offs were 99.62 percentile. So, unfortunately, at 98.4 percentile, you won't be able to get admission in SIMSREE. Wish you all the best for various entrance exams.

There are several parameters on which these two mentioned B-schools can be judged, and those parameters are:
1. Brand name - SIMSR scores ahead over SIMSREE.
2. Campus life - SIMSR is way ahead and probably offers the best among the B-schools located in and around Mumbai.
3. ROi - SIMSREE is the clear winner as it offers the second best ROI (after FMS, New Delhi) in India.
4. Placements - Both are at par; no significant difference. But considering the ROI, SIMSREE proves to be the clear winner.
5. Industrial exposure - Since both are located within Mumbai, they provide similar exposure.
6. Rankings - Though both belong to the same tier of B-schools, SIMSREE edges slightly ahead over SIMSR.
7. Admission criteria: SIMSREE has a lenient criteria as there are no interview rounds conducted, unlike SIMSR.

Hello, between these two, one should opt for SIMSREE over Welingkar due to the following reasons:-
1. ROI: SIMSREE emerges as the clear winner as it provides the second best ROI (after FMS) in India.
2. Brand name: Both are quite popular in Maharashtra, SIMSREE is much older.
3. Industry exposure: Since both are located in Mumbai, they offer great exposure. However, SIMSREE slightly edges ahead due to its close proximity to Nariman Point, a bustling business hub in South Mumbai.
4. Placements: Again, SIMSREE is ahead as the average package is around Rs 9 lakhs while Welingkar has Rs 7 lakhs.
5. Fees: Due to the fare hike this year, Welingkar loses out on this factor. Whereas SIMSREE has a very affordable tuition fee amount of Rs 1.38 lakhs; thus no fretting over repaying those education loans.
6. Rankings: SIMSREE is ahead of Welingkar here as well.
The only aspect where Welingkar wins is its good infrastructure. Else, an aspirant should give first priority to SIMSREE and keep Welingkar as a backup option.
