It is an average college for doing statistics.

Faculty: Higher authorities consequently hire experienced professors, but in our departments teachers are less experienced while compared to other departments. Sometimes the quality of their teaching requires improvisation and need to discuss the concepts from the basic.

B.Com (Hons) in Accounting and Finance.

Faculty: Considering the syllabus difficulty, frequent exams were conducted with different sets of questions. Questions were also borrowed from other institutions and sometimes twisted and modified before being given to the students. With such practice sessions, passing the main exams became much easier.

Mesmerized by the campus, disappointed by the faculty members.

Faculty: Not all teachers are good. They are extremely qualified and knowledgeable. The course curriculum is relevant and makes students industry-ready to some extent. Exams are medium as per me. The passing marks is more than 70%.

Review of S K Somaiya College.

Faculty: Teachers are very kind, and helpful, and have excellent command over subjects which helps students in a better understanding of topics. The course curriculum is very much relevant as I completed my internship and the main thing that I learned in class applied there. Semester exams are easy to moderate level but you have to study for that.

Great college with great opportunities.

Faculty: The faculty are very helpful and knowledgeable. The courses are also very future-proof. We are also given projects from the first year to the last year to develop our skills. The semester exams' difficulty, I would say, is above average—not too difficult but also not easy.

Faculty: The teachers are qualified and very knowledgeable. Moreover, the teachers don't believe in partiality and treat everyone equally. Favouritism ends at Somaiya. Also, the curriculum is up-to-date and relevant with what the modern world requires today and for the future.

KJ Somaiya College for Engineering is worth it.

Faculty: Teachers are well qualified. But they are very moody and arrogant. The course curriculum is relevant but involves too much theory. There are three main exams IA, ISE, and ESE. We have 2 internal assessments of 20 marks, and one semester exam of 30 marks, and one end-semester exam of 100 marks.

Dissatisfied with the placements this year, good campus and hostels, good exposure .

Faculty: The faculty members here are a mixed bag, some are very good to some are very mediocre. Curriculum is very much updated as compared to Mumbai University syllabus. And I love the curriculum here. The semester exams are a bit difficult so start studying before a week and everything would be fine. Here most of the students do get pass and very few get back .

Full review of KJ somaiya institute of management.

Faculty: I will rate the course as 7/10. The curriculum lacks practical exposure at times, and there are very few field trips than there should be. The curriculum covers almost everything, and faculty members are mostly Ph.D. holders with a lot of experience. The college follows a trimester system, where an exam is given every 2–2.5 months. The difficulty level is easy to moderate.
