Yes. There is a difference between JBIMS and Sydenham. But we need to understand it from different viewpoints. When it comes to admitting students, at least for this year, the process is the same. Someone with a 99.9+ will get JBIMS and someone with a 99.8 will end up with Sydenham. Difference between 99.8 and 99.9 in terms of ability and aptitude is negligible. One person got a few more questions correct on that particular day. That's it. So if you look at the top students of JBIMS and top students of Sydenham, the difference is barely perceptible. JBIMS has been in the top ranking for a long time and will continue to do so. I don't really see Sydenham taking that position. If JBIMS moves out of CET centralized process, then yes, Sydenham will be the top institute purely through CET. There is a difference in the environment. There is something about JBIMS that makes it stand out from all other MS offering institutes and I think it is the kind of work alumni have done in the industry and the fact that some of the professors teach only at JBIMS. They will not go to other places. Yes, there are a few who teach at both JBIMS and Sydenham. May be, because of this reason, every year, you will find at least 4-5 students of SIMSREE taking CET again and trying for JBIMS.
