While appyng to the PGDM course, in the course tab we need to specify the course we would like to opt for as 1st and 2nd preference. There are two options: (1) PGDM (2) PGDM(IB).
Initially i gave PGDM as my 1st prefernce and PGDM(IB) as 2nd pref. But, i want to apply only for the PGDM course, and not IB. Is it necessary to give 2nd prefernce? Because i am not able to deselect my 2nd preference of PGDM-IB

It is not necessary to fill 2nd preference . You can apply for only one of the course. That's only if you are filling for 2 courses.

As mentioned by me earlier also . Please mention the changes that you need to make clearly and we shall inform the admin accordingly.

No need to paste the photograph if your pic is uploaded on application form already

No need to attest the CAT admit card

Yes , you need to send your application form, CAT admit card and DD considering that you are a fresher

I have a 1 yr work ex..and i will be doing my payment with credit card while applying. Do i also have to send the print out of application form, along with the appointment letter,pay slips and cat score card? (I do not have any work ex certificate..so i will also be sending my 1st pay slip)

abhichou Says

I have two questions... 1. According to the instructions, they have asked to paste photograph in the appropriate space provided in the print out of the filled up application form. But there is already a photo in the application form. We were asked to upload photograph at the time of online form fill up. This photo is there in the print out already and no provision or space for any other photo as such. What about that?? 2. I have no work experience. So the only document I have to send other than the print out of filled up application form and the DD, is the CAT 2011 admit card right?? Any attestation required in the same?

On the request of several aspirants , I try to answer questions about PGDM-International Business (IB) program of SIMSR.


What is management in international business?
In the age of globalization, companies are not limited to regional or national level only. They want to explore opportunities across the globe to make profits. By the means of bilateral agreements between countries and group of countries or trade union like EU,NAFTA etc, more and more companies are now involved in international business.
To manage their business functions they need individual who can understand both domestic and international functions of companies. A management education in international business will create functional competencies which would be essential necessary for operating in the international environment.



How it is different from general PGDM/MBA program?
In terms of course curriculum: In first year, PGDM & PGDM IB have common subjects. In the third trimester, Export Import Policy/ Procedure and FEMA are covered as a subject, in addition to the common first year subjects. In fourth & fifth semester we have specialization subjects in addition to common subjects. Choice of one foreign language between French and Spanish, taught throughout the second year.
Refer http://simsr.somaiya.edu/SIMSR/Adm/PGDM12/FormBrochure/List_of_Subjects2012.pdf


In terms of Career prospects:
With this kind of course curriculum one have opportunities to work where normal PGDM can work. In addition to this one can also work with international business profile. Many PGDM-IB alumni is working in MNEs & MNC like ABB,PWC , Exim bank etc with international business profile. A key point over here is you can compete with normal PGDM students in placements for the same companies.Moreover,four companies exclusively visited for IB last year. You can switch to IB profile depending upon your career plan.A Key important point here is that you can compete for marketing or finance in final placements.


If the course is so good why the cutoffs were 80.xx last year?
The main reason is lack of awareness among aspirants .But if you analyze the global scenario, International business is future of industry. This is why, in last two years many colleges started IB specific program.


I still have doubt about placements. Can you give idea about placements?
As I stated earlier, PGDM & PGDM IB have common placement process (last year 131 companies). In addition to this, four companies visited exclusively for PGDM-IB. Recently, one PGDM-IB first year student has been selected for international summer internship (Germany) for leading Pharmaceutical & Chemical manufacturer giant.


So, if I have 90+ in CAT , I have BEST opportunities to convert GD/PI call?
NO, you have relatively better percentile in CAT. But your final conversion will be evaluated on the basis of CAT percentile +GD/PI performance Academics +Work ex score. (Personal experience)

What else can I expect From KJ SIMSR PGDM-International Business?
Apart from placements, you will be guided by best of faculties. In addition to this we have international business society (IBS) which is exclusively for PGDM-IB. IBS give us platform to interact with corporate tycoons. Students also contribute to its quarterly publication e-Globuzz, which goes a long way to enhance their perspective of world affairs.
Refer http://www.somaiya.edu/VidyaVihar/media/pdf/e-Globuzz%20Vol%20II%20Issue%20III.pdf
Refer http://www.pagalguy.com/forum/life-b-school-b-school/34281-life-simsr-12.html
Student activity clubs :
SIMSR have four main admin - student driven cell : Placement Committee, Alumni Committee , Public Relation and Admission Committee.
Apart from this various co-curricular focused committee are thee in SIMSR like Marketing Club (interface), social cell , Finance cell , gita club , sports committee , CII - YI Club , Operation club , E-Cell etc.
The significance of these cells is crucial when it comes to establishing your own networking in industry provided with important team learning.

Is it mandatory that I have to study for some months in foreign?
No, Foreign student exchange program is depend upon individual discretion and performance.
The Institute has international linkages with School of Management, Asian Institute of Technology, Bangkok (Thailand), Deakin University, Australia, Vaasa University, Finland , Nyenrode Business Universiteit, The Netherlands .

Current Batch profile:
Batch have blend of fresher and experienced students. Some of the students are from NITs and other best institutes of India. It is great opportunity for me to learn from students who are from Infosys,TCS,Vedannta, deloitte, Jindal Steel ,Wipro, Gammon India,L&T;,Ericsson etc.

Any suggestions to aspirants
We suggest to prepare well for GD/PI to be part of SIMSR.

I got 93.79%ile in CAT and was thinking of applying to KJ SOM.But I have some problem here.
On my CAT admit card My DOB is 25-01-1990(I filled it by mistake). My original DOB is 26-01-1990. I talked to CAT helpline and they suggested me to get an affidavit signed by a gazetted officer and bring it with me on the date of exam. ALL done and I have recieved my CAT results and no problems uptill now.
But while appling to KJ SOM, I have to mention my DOB in the uploaded pic. and we have to send our CAT admit card also. Now what do I do. They both carry differnt dates. I have the copy of the affidavit. Should I send it that too with the other docs. Would that suffice? Date is approaching so please guys do reply!!

Hi,

You may send the copy of the affidavit. If CAT authorities were fine with that, so will be SIMSR. Shouldn't be a problem ....

As Mrinal said, you can send a copy of affidavit, then there wont be a problem

@interceptor... i hope they give calls based on CAT score only .. or they consider acads also?

While giving calls, CAT score is of prime interest.

For other acads if lower, you can make up by a good performance in GD-PI process.

Even I am facing the same problem and it is been a long time since I have mailed my form to the college. At that point the photo had to be saved in only DOB format. Now again it has been changed to DOB + first name. What has to be done?
This was the last thing I was expecting after having faced some issues initially as well when I applied well before the first deadline.

Now I have uploaded the pic in the new format. I hope it does not create any other issue now.

priyatanu Says

Is it worth for a candidate to apply for PGDM having secured < 90 %ile

It would be a close call, since the cutoff has been 90+ always. 80+ is good for IB though.

Priydarshini Pant (PGDM FS 2011-13)
ADCOM, SIMSR

Last yr, the cutoff for PGDM was 90+%....
Since the selection process for both the courses MMS and PGDM is separate as CAT is criteria for PGDM and CET is for MMS.
students of both courses sit for the common placement process so in terms of placements there is hardly any difference..

No of intake for PGDM - 120
No of intake for PGDM-IB - 60
No of intake for PGDM-RM - 60
No of intake for PGDM-FS - 60
No of intake for PGDM-Exec - 60

No of intake for MMS- 120

Yes, a candidate can apply through both CAT and MHCET.

P.S. This thread is meant for PGDM//PGDM(IB)/PGDM(RM)/PGDM(FS)/PGDM-Exec queries. For MMS separate thread will be opened as soon as the process of CET starts.

Seniors, I applied to KJ somaya on 24 dec-11,. I made payment online.
Now, i just checked my online application & i was shocked to see someone else photograph on my form.
rest of the details are correct but just my photo has been replaced by some other applicant.Even i posted d form to kj somaya address & then it was my photo on print out of form.
I have mailed at admission@simsr.somaiya.edu also.
but I am highly disappointed bcoz dis issue has arisen & its none of my fault.
My application no. is 101338.
plz help me out on dis,seniors. :-(

This should not be a big problem since you have already sent your application which had your photo,also since you have sent a mail to the ain team they will rectify the error so dont worry.

hi guys..am gettin a score of 28 in xat.i want to know about kj somaiya PGDM(financial services).wat does this exactly means?is it equivalent p pgdm(finance).plz help me

Since the date for fs is in april you may as well wait for your xat percentile to be announced.fs is 2 year finance mba whereas pgdm just has 1 year of finance as specialization in the second year.

Even I am facing the same problem and it is been a long time since I have mailed my form to the college. At that point the photo had to be saved in only DOB format. Now again it has been changed to DOB + first name. What has to be done?
This was the last thing I was expecting after having faced some issues initially as well when I applied well before the first deadline.

Now I have uploaded the pic in the new format. I hope it does not create any other issue now.

dear viper

d same thing happened with me..i had a girl photo pasted in place of mine..but luckily after several attempts of refreshing d form i managed to get my photo.u can alternatively try to upload ur photo again by editing the form..no need to worry.it might be due to some system problem.
