Hi, Whats the GMAT cutoff for PGDM?
Yudh literally translates to war in English and that is what best explains the intensity with which students from India’s best B-Schools sweat it out at the premier sports event organized by the Sports Committee at the K J Somaiya Institute of Management. The event is usually held over a period of 3-4 days in February every year. Students compete across 12 different indoor and outdoor sports including carrom, chess, badminton, squash etc. The atmosphere over the course of the event is absolutely electric and one can almost feel the competitive vibe in the campus during that time. Yudh is not just a sports event but rather a celebration of the competitive spirit.
Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out!

Every year, on 1 December, the world commemorates World AIDS Day. People around the world unite to show support for people living with and affected by HIV and to remember those who lost their lives to AIDS. Founded in 1988, World AIDS Day was the first-ever global health day.
This coming #WorldAIDSDay will be very different from normal. COVID-19 is showing once again how health is interlinked with other critical issues, such as reducing inequality, human rights, gender equality, social protection and economic growth. With this in mind, this year the theme of World AIDS Day is "Global Solidarity, Shared Responsibility". The theme focuses on the global commitment to deliver quality, people-centered HIV prevention and treatment services for impact.
Even today more than 12 million people are still waiting to get on HIV treatment and 1.7 million people became infected with HIV last year because they could not access essential services.
As we approach the end of 2020, the world is in a dangerous place and the months ahead will not be easy. Only Global Solidarity and Shared Responsibility will help us to beat the coronavirus and end the AIDS epidemic and guarantee the right to health for all people.
We, at K J Somaiya Institute of Management believe in a holistic development of our students. And what better way there is to do this than sharing wise words of wisdom.

Growing might feel like breaking at first. While the whole world is healing from the pandemic, K J Somaiya Institute of Management ensured to take steps and extended a helping hand through a counseling session for students for their mental well being. Because that, what's not talked about, also has the power to hurt. Breaking the stereotypes, talking out loud, how "Mental health is priority, happiness is essential, and self-care is necessity," tips and to-dos to help students through harder days were shared during the induction process as a part of the holistic development of the students. To have a hand to hold onto, and to have a listening ear is sometimes all that we might need at a day's end. The efforts of the institute made sure that students find the transition of studying into a business school from an online mode smoother, and eases out stress especially during the pandemic.
