Congratulations on such a great score!
I think you should aim for Welingkar. There is a high chance you will get MS in Welingkar. If you would have been a Gujarati then through quota you would have received admission in Somaiya through quota system.
Without it I feel it difficult but you might get in Somaiya in third list. All the best!

Hello Shreyash,
Congratulations for your success. I would suggest you to try in this order: Welingkar, K. J. S, Dalmia, PUMBA and SIES. If you wish to get admission in Pune, then PUMBA can be the only best option for you with the best ROI. Best of luck.

KJ Somaiya is the best. But according to your rank and percentile, if you are a non-Gujarat student i.e. not a candidate of the linguistic minority, it is very difficult to get in KJ. Dalmia is also good but at 970 rank, it is again difficult. So you should try for Welingkars or SIES.

I think you should try for KJ Somaiya first, which is the best among these colleges. Try your luck for Sydenham Institute also, which you have chances to get.
And after KJ Somaiya, I think PUMBA will be the best option from the point of ROI. You have to pay very less fees as compared to other colleges and get almost the same package in placement.

I am suggesting you colleges, considering you are going to take Marketing as your specialization. KJ Somaiya looks very difficult, if you are from non-Gujrat community, as it is a minority college. Best option left will be either Welingkar or SIES.

Hi Shreyas,
Congrats on the score. PUMBA offers a high return on investment. The fees of PUMBA is 1.44 Lacs for two years and the average placement is around 6.5 LPA. Also, as it is student-driven college all activities are handled by students themselves. There is good exposure given by guest talks, seminars, etc.

I think N.L. Dalmia is the best institute for you if you plan to pursue your MBA in Marketing in comparison to the institutes posed in your question. N.L. Dalmia is known for its finance field in Mumbai as the best and offers the highest package of 24 Lacs.

How are the MBA placements at PUMBA?

Vivek Kumar Yadav

PUMBA placements are solid—95% placed, average pay around Rs 9–9.4 LPA, and some students (top 10%) land sweet deals up to Rs 15 LPA. And yes, Rs 16 LPA has been the top package. But a heads-up: opportunities in finance or internships can be hit-or-miss depending on your batch. Still, overall it gives a good ROI if you're proactive.”
