Hello Seniors,

I got shortlisted for the MBA Core Program at KJ Somaiya. If this post comes across any senior, currently studying or recent batch, I would love to connect as I have several questions to ask. I am putting the same down below. Please feel free to impart some knowledge onto me.

1. As someone from a non-commerce background, what are the things I should learn before starting my MBA journey, and what sources are the best for it?
2. Which institutes does KJ compete against in case comps? Is there active participation from the college? And what should I do to participate in the same?
3. One of my major concerns is regarding hostel timings and the campus culture. I was previously studying at an NIT, so we hardly had any strict rules related to roaming on campus and dress code. I am used to little to no bickering regarding the same. Since Somaiya Vidya Vihar is a private institute, I am a little worried about this. Please let me know about it, especially the girls.
4. Secondly, about the sports and extra-curricular activities at KJ Somaiya. What are the sports activities students participate in? I used to represent my school in football and athletics, and I am looking forward to continuing in those sports during my post-graduation years. Will I be able to manage playing sports along with managing the curriculum?
5. Last but the most important one, how are the placements? And what does the top percentile at KJ do to bag a good offer at the end of the course?

If you are reading the end of it rn, thanks for bearing with my inquisitiveness, I appreciate your attention span. I'll be more than happy to connect and ask n number of questions. Let's meet soon irl! byeee ❤️
