Prin. L. N. Welingkar Institute of Management Development and Research, Mumbai

For practicing the Group Discussion/PI that is conducted by the IIMs following strategies can be followed:
Reading the newspaper: What tests your ability to form an opinion and thus it is better to boost your knowledge about the current events of the world and analyze its impact. You can use the SPELT (Social, Political, Economic, Legal, Technical) framework for this. My suggestion would be to use a national daily like Hindu or Economic Times and start reading at least 8-10 articles on a regular basis.
Following Blogs: You can read blogs that are written by professors of IIMs, SPJIMR or any other institute of India from where you are sure that the content would be backed by facts and you would get a lot of insights.
Analyze you motivation of doing your MBA thoroughly and make sure that you are well versed with your academics and work experience.
Finally, take help from your friends and conduct mock interviews and mock GDs amongst yourselves. This would increase your confidence and you would be able to approach the process with much more confidence.

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.
