Feb MAT score is considered. It is converted into CET equivalent. A score of 99.7+ is necessary for MMS.

Hi,

I am interested in pursuing my MBA from Maharashtra. But I have a doubt regarding the admission procedure there.
While I was looking up the web for various B schools, I came to know that some schools have own MBA courses apart from the MMS offered by Mumbai university.
I have shortlisted a few schools:
Jamnalal Bajaj
KJ Somaiya
Welingkar
Sydenham
SIES
PUMBA

My questions are:
1) Amongst these who offer both PGDM and/or MMS?
2) In case of both, are the application procedures different?
3) Is it true that if we take MH-CET, we do not need to apply to the MMS courses in various colleges separately?
4) I heard that there is a reservation clause for MH residents and only 15% of seats are for outside MH students. Is it true?
5) What are the cutoff scores required by the colleges generally for these courses?

Thanks in advance to those who provide with the genuine and latest information and some insight about these colleges.

P.S.: If there are already threads in practice answering these questions, the path will suffice.

Thank you!

The long awaited SPRIHA 2009 impressed everyone on 21st August with a slew of talented students and their outstanding projects. The annual event was initiated in 2003 by the students of SIMSR to showcase the in-depth research and hard work put into their summer projects, and now has become a hallmark of the SIMSR calendar.

SPRIHA 2009 was presided over by SIMSR Director Professor Ghai along with the illustrious judges and guests. Mr. Raj Dubey, Chief Training and Development Officer from Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. judged the event along with Mr. Anant Rajadanye, General Manager-HR -Head of Godavari Biorefineries Ltd. The invites from the corporate world included such luminaries as Sharvari Nerurkar, Business Consultant with Larsen and Toubro Infotech Ltd., Mr. A.M.Tathare, who is the Senior Manager in SCPC at Mahindra and Mahindra Ltd., Mr.Manjunath Gaddi, Research Analyst with iFast Financial India Pvt. Ltd, and Ms. Sheeba Satish, Human Resources Manager from iFast Financial India Pvt. Ltd. The six finalists chosen for SPRIHA 2009 had reached this platform after three rounds of grueling eliminations, where they were chosen out of 360 other contestants. Their 15 minute presentations, and subsequent Q&A; sessions impressed the judges, the guests and the audience with detailed research, innovative ideas, well made slides, and unique approaches. The judges showered fulsome praise on the insightful research, hard work and attention to detail, skilful arrangement and oratorical excellence showcased in the most remarkable of these presentations.

After a lot of deliberation, the judges brought the closely fought competition to an end by announcing three winners. Bhavik Chauhan from MMS A was declared the 2nd runner up for his presentation on Value stream mapping study for End caps and Feasibility study on continuous Expanders for Heat Shrinkable Tubing . The first runner up was Thanigaivelan of PGDM B who won praise for his project on of Analysis of water purifier market in Chennai and designing a sales channel. The greatest glory was reserved for Alphonse Mathew of MMS A for his keen, precise and intelligent study on the Market mapping & recommending strategies to increase the sale of SERVO gas engine oil.

After congratulating the winners, Mr Dubey commended all the contestants for their impressive presentations. As the occasion drew to a close, SIMSRs Director-General thanked the guests and judges for their support and appreciation, and acknowledged the hard work and effort of the students and faculty, who put up a superb event yet again. At the same time, he mentioned that this is by far the best MMS batch in SIMSRs history.

Right to Information Lets get the answers from government.
.......................................................................................................
CII-Yi net SIMSR had organized a seminar on Right to Information Act on 31st July. The purpose of organizing such seminar was to make the student community aware about their rights and encourage them to implement it. The seminar was addressed by prominent RTI activists Mr. Gaurang Vora and Mr. Sunil Ahya. Both of them are actively involved in properly implementing RTI act in public domain. Mr. Vora discussed in detail the application procedure, the time line, implication of each item in the application form. Copies of application form were distributed among the audience. Then Mr. Vora described how RTI act came into picture in India. Mr. Ahya discussed the status of RTI acts in other countries, developed as well as developing countries. He also shared a success story of how RTI was able to get the concerned government department to task. The audience was full of enthusiasms. They asked the speakers their queries and made the seminar interactive. Prof. Reena Mehta on behalf of Yi-Net expressed the vote of thanks to the speakers. She nicely concluded that blaming the system and doing nothing is not useful. We are all part of the system so it is our duty to protest whenever we see any wrong things happening. Right to Information Act is the tool through which we can raise our voice. She asked us to think on what we are giving the country not what the country is giving to us. The speakers were very glad seeing the response of the audience and promised to come in SIMSR again.

Greetings from K.J.Somaiya Institute of Management Studies and Research (SIMSR)!!!
It has been a legacy and a tradition at SIMSR to not only pursue academics with zeal and zest but also Party Hardest!
And so we bring to you this spring our National Level Intercollegiate annual management cum cultural event Melange 09 from the 27th to 29th of March, 2009.
Those who attended Melange 08 still havent got over it, and those who shall attend Melange 09 will never get over it.
And in Mr. Tatas words, Its a Promise!
We have come up with a theme that will not only rattle, dazzle and bewilder you but will also glitter and shine brighter than all the spot lights put together and it is "EN VOGUE-Fit in by Standing out". Vogue, a synonym for Fashion is woven into our DNA since time immemorial. You can either create fashion or follow it. You can either be in Vogue or out of it. The choice is yoursbut you simply cant ignore it. Its as much in your face as the dials of time.
So this year we bring to you some events that are in Vogue and also other mind boggling ones that will be in the wish lists of many other cultural events. A total house of insanity awaits you in the form of events like Treasure Hunt, Roadies, Last man Standing, Dance, Fashion Show, Face Painting, Rangoli, Radio Jockey, 60 secs to Fame, Music Fusion, Band Performance, Mock Stock, Lan Gaming, Sell Hell, photography, short movie making etc. We also have Case Study competitions, but the stealer is Go Karting at Hakone which is a sure shot trendsetter. So, in all we have 20+ events spread across 3 days. And do we need to mention the prizes? Come on, it is obvious but this time it is UMEED SE CHAUGUNA. On top of it we have well distinguished judges for the events as well.
Already feeling like Paris, aint it? But dont worry, this festival is gonna be right here in aamchi Mumbai at SIMSR.
So all the fashionistas out there, be EN Vogue by registering and participating or get pass as mentioned, there are loads of prizes to be won.

For more information visit us on Melange - Annual Cultural & Mangement Festival @ SIMSR

how is the MMS course being offered at KJ... i m an OMS candidate... got 99.75%ile in feb MAT... will be converting it to MH CET... but plz anyone who can tell me about the MMS course and its placemnets?? i will be thankful..

I am doing MMS course and it is good. The placements seen are same everywhere that is bad. But by the time you pass out they will be good. Last year the placement seen was awesome in SIMSR. 205/240 were placed in day 0 of Placement window and all 240 were placed on 2nd day. out of 65 only 45 companies were able to recruit.
This is before economic recession. But even still the situation is ok types. As of now already 1/3rd of the batch is placed which is much better compared to other colleges. Regarding MMS, if you have any particular query post it on

hey seniors,

i wanted to inquire bout the retail program of ur insti.please throw some lite...

Please let me know what exactly would you like to know about it ? PM for the same.

E-Cell @ SIMSR have successfully organized the E-Week in association with NEN from 7th February, 2009 to 14th February, 2009.

The week was unique for various reasons. Some events were innovative like the movie case study competition while few were thrilling like the snake alive program where the participants took live snakes in their hands (an opportunity that may never come again in their lives).

Besides, few events like the entrepreneurship game and the business plan competition (Ecopreneurship 2009) saw participation in huge numbers. A total of 73 entries were received from various B-schools across India. The competition saw entries from almost all IIMs and IITs and a lot of premier b-schools. Many participants had a transformational experience in the entrepreneurship game while selling gifts on the street. They had to shed their egos, muster courage and kiss the reality of life!

The e-week had a few artistic and casual events like sketching an entrepreneur and movie review competition.
