K J Somaiya Institute of Management

The FS course is focused on the fast growing Financial Services sector in India. If you're interested in Finance, you'll enjoy the course, as most of the subjects right from the first year are focused on finance. Between LBSIM and SIMSR, I'd definitely prefer simsr. But maybe if you're from Delhi, you can consider LBSIM. In FS, you'll be allowed to sit for all finance profiles which come in. Banks like JP Morgan Chase, Morgan Stanley etc. and other financial institutions come a lot. Not aware of the placements in LBSIM, so I cannot comment on that.

It depends on what you call better placement. The average package this was Rs. 9.4 lakhs with more than 95% of the batch placed. The highest package was 21 lakhs. We have huge brands in sectors like IT, FMCG, BFSI etc. coming in every year. Depending on these statistics, you can see if you can get the placement you desire.

It seems difficult during counselling, but there may be a slim chance. But you should definitely be able to get it through the waitlist. The courses closed around 2000 last year.

You'll have a chance for Comm, but through the waiitlist. Do get yourself wait listed if you're interested in marketing.

Yes, kj is quite good for finance. The placements for MMS finance take place with the pgdm finance and are given the same opportunities. The average package this year was Rs 9.4 lakh,with almost 100% placements. We have a lot of banks coming to campus along with other finance firms.

Both courses are at par as far placements are concerned. IB is more oriented towards the global scenario, and that reflects in the subjects. In core, you have 4 specializations available (Marketing, Finance, Operations, HR) while in IB you have 2 (Marketing and Finance). Therefore, which course you want depends on your interests.

The chances are slim, though you might have a chance of getting in to Communications after wait list movement. I suggest you get yourself wait listed for Communications and RM, if you're interested in marketing as a specialization.

The Marketing Communications course, while giving you a thorough foundation in all marketing related subjects (including Business Research, Stats etc.), is more oriented towards Advertising, Digital Marketing etc., which are among the fastest growing fields in marketing. Moreover, the course has a lot of practical components to it, like video shooting, editing etc. All these things will add invaluable experience to you if you are interested in advertising, or even sales. The placements for the course have been very good this year, on par with all other courses. If you are interested in marketing, I would suggest you go for it.

Avg package is 9.4 lacs with median package at 10lacs and over 370total companies visiting this year.I have been an Simsr Alumnus. You can post me any other doubts too.
