Questions Asked On SJMSOM, Mumbai
Which is better, IIM Lucknow or SJMSOM (IIT B)? I am from an ECE background with 3 years of IT experience.
SJMSOM at IIT B was founded in 1995, making it a relatively newer institution. But for a couple of years now, it has been making headlines because of some really outstanding profiles that were provided. Its core competencies are operations and supply chain management. There is no doubt that IIT B is the best choice if you want to work as a product manager. IIT B also has a beautiful campus with excellent facilities.
Additionally, it would give you the opportunity to take part in MOOD-I, the most significant cultural festival in all of Asia, which is held at IIT Bombay. With the well-known tech fests, there is another opportunity for you to participate. Furthermore, there are benefits to living in Mumbai. For guest lectures, the majority of the industry experts live nearby and are easily reachable.
IIM Lucknow was founded in 1984, so it has 11 batches more alumni than IIT B, resulting in approximately 3300 more alumni (considering 300 students per batch on average). It is also the fourth oldest IIM, following A, B, and C. You will gain a lot more industry experience, which will assist you in deciding what you truly want to do. In addition, IIM L offers better opportunities in Sales & Marketing, Consultancy, and BFSI than SJMSOM. Furthermore, you will be networking with a large number of students from all over the country and forming lifelong friendships. Furthermore, the IIM tag for a managerial position has an advantage over the IIT tag, which is still developing.
It would be fine if you went to IIM L, SJMSOM, or any other B school a few years later. When you switch from the first company you get after your placements, the new recruiters will be more interested in your work than in the college you attended. And the impact of your college's name gradually fades. What remains are the lessons you've learned and the memories you've made over the last two years.
Which B-school should I join if I have converted TISS, SJMSOM (IITB) and NITIE?
All three colleges are on top and choosing one among three is not easy. But I can give you some ideas about them as I have friends studying at these institutes. TISS is one of the most reputed colleges for HRM courses in the country. The top two institutes for HR programs are XLRI and 2nd is TISS. XLRI holds first place due to its history and huge batch size and placements.
- TISS is growing fast but still doesn’t have the same presence as XLRI has.
- TISS though has the advantage of a very small batch size compared to XLRI, which means lesser competition.
- And again TISS is at Bombay while XLRI is at Jamshedpur. I would say TISS is still a very good option for aspirants interested in HR.
NITIE and SOM are the top two colleges in India for operations and supply chain profiles with NITIE being the clear number 1.
- Long history and a huge batch size result in lots of senior supply chain managers from NITIE across various companies.
- On the other hand, though 20 years old, SOM was upgraded only recently, to 120 batch size from earlier 60.Students are getting to the top but SOM does not have the same presence as NITIE.
- NITIE has more recruiting companies with cushy pay packages as compared to SOM. Although SOM is improving its placement numbers rapidly.
- SOM does boast of elegant IIT B infrastructure and less batch size and hence, lesser competition due to smaller batches.
- But NITIE would give you more options in terms of placements.
So my preference order will be the following.
TISS (HR) > NITIE (Operations & SCM) > SJMSOM (Finance & others)
So, choose wisely based on your preferred domain. And in case you are interested in Marketing, both NITIE & SJMSOM are equally good.

Which is a better college for finance: NITIE or SJMSOM?
I think I can give you some insight regarding NITIE and SJMSOM since I have friends from both institutes. Both are nearly identical, however, SJMSOM may be a better choice because NITIE promotes itself as an Operations majors institution, whereas SJMSOM promises to cover all fields. As a result, you may have more prospects in the finance industry at SJMSOM than at NITIE.
The table below has a brief comparison of the two institutes.
| Parameters | NITIE | SJMSOM |
| Course fee | 13 lakhs (approx) | 9 lakhs |
| Placement rate | 100% | 100% |
| Average salary package | 19 lakhs | 20 lakhs |
| Highest salary package | 46 lakhs | 34 lakhs |
So, going by the above-mentioned factors, I will say SJMSOM may be a better alternative for Finance.
Which is better to join sjmsom (IIT BOMBAY) or new IIM like Trichy, Udaipur, Ranchi etc. please give stats also?
When considering which business school to attend, it can be helpful to think about the impact that the institute will have on your resume. On the one hand, SJMSOM is an older institute that is well-known for its engineering program at IIT. While it may have a strong reputation in certain fields, it may not be as well-known for its MBA program. On the other hand, the newer IIMs, including IIM Ranchi, have not yet fully established their reputations in the business world. While they may have the prestige of being part of the IIM network, they may not yet have the same level of recognition as older institutes.
Ultimately, the value of an MBA degree will depend on what you make of it and the effort you put into your studies and career development. It is important to carefully consider both the reputation and the resources of the business school you choose in order to make the most of your MBA experience.
Which one should I choose between IIM Kozhikode or IIT Bombay SJMSOM? Why?
You should choose IIM Kozhikode. SJMSOM is a good B-School and maintained a decent record over the last few years. However, choosing IIM Kozhikode will offer you the brand value advantages of IIM and long-term returns.
IIM Kozhikode has a better faculty base for management. You will also get good opportunities to attend lectures by some of the famous visiting faculty.
IIM Kozhikode placements are pretty good as well. As per the 2022 placement highlights, the median CTC offered to the students is around INR 26.5 LPA.
Which one to choose SJMSOM or IIM Indore?
Both SJMSOM and IIM Indore are distinguished B-Schools in this league. IIM is a brand name on its own and offers certain perks that make it a better choice.
- Specialization: SJMSOM is known for its Operations and IT/Analytics/Consulting. Most of the students remain confused in choosing their specialization and tend to delve into their options at the end of their first year. This can be quite helpful if you want to explore your options in the first year and then choose a specialization.
- Placements: The factor that affects placements is the batch size. The less the batch size the more efficiently and steadily the placements are done with. Often IIM Indore completes their placement before SJMSOM and other IIMs. However, the competition at IIM Indore is high. According to the recent placement highlights the average CTC offered at SJMSOM and IIM Indore is 20 LPA and 23 LPA.
- Campus: IIM Indore has a splendid campus situated out of the city. The campus is huge and is one of the best campuses in India. At SJMSOM, the campus is to be shared with engineering students. However, this is not much of a problem for students. IIM Indore also provides more extracurricular opportunities.
Hopefully, this would be helpful for you in making the right choice.
Which college is better IIM Kozhikode or SJMSOM? I have a work experience of 23 months with average academics.
Definitely, both the B-Schools are great but IIMK should be your first choice. Unless we are discussing Operation then I would advise you to opt for SJMSOM.
You will have trouble with placements due to your average academics as most of your peers will have better academic records. You will always get opportunities to make your profile better. You can improve your profile by winning competitions, holding significant PORs, and getting an excellent grade in your MBA programme.
Even if you don’t get your desired placement, you can excel in the job and leverage your performance in the corporate world along with the IIM alumni network on your side. That way you will be able to fetch better opportunities a few years later.
Here are the recent placement highlights for the institutes.
| Parameters | IIM Kozhikode | SJMSOM |
| Average CTC | 22.5 LPA | 21 LPA |
| Highest CTC | 46 LPA | 32 LPA |
| Major recruiters | Asian Paints, Amazon, Brain & Co. | JCB, Infosys, Flipkart |
IIM Kozhikode definitely offers certain advantages which makes it a superior choice.
How much will a low grad score affect summer and final placements in NITIE (PGDIM), SJMSOM IIT B, and XLRI BM?
My cousin is an alumnus of NITIE and has spent two years in the institute as a student. His opinion is based on professional experience and may not be true for summer and final placements at SJMSOM and XLRI.
- Companies consider students with good grades as an equivalent proxy to dedication at the workplace, and the ability of the students to analyze critically and intensively.
- The merit required for the consideration is open to question and/or debate. Marks obtained in high school and graduation usually serve as filter criteria for filtering out worthy students from hundreds of them.
- Experience in work in domain and years or the lack of it and the college you completed your undergraduate degree from matter in a few cases.
- It is wrong to say that one of these matters will nullify and get you a place in the shortlist for the subsequent selection rounds.
A counter-argument can turn up claiming that the companies do not look at the scores. It is up to the students concerned to follow this notion.
