It is overall a good college with various facilities & well-maintained infrastructure. The permanent campus is under construction & will be ready by the probably the next year, so that's obviously an upside. Overall Infrastructure is quite good.

The campus life overall is good. It could have been more exciting if provided a permanent campus but overall it isn't that bad also as with hostel there is enough place to play various games as well as organize different events which will provide a good experience of campus.
After entering college, as a fresher, I was clueless about what I should be doing to maximize my learning & get more industry exposure. The first semester was really rigorous but later on, everything became a little bit easier, or rather I should say I was able to adapt to the situation. It is quite an exciting journey with so many ups & downs. But that's life & I also learnt it from here.

Hello Aspirant,
Hope you are doing well !
Keeping in mind, both K J Somaiya Institute of Management, and IIM Amritsar both are really good colleges, in my opinion, IIM Amritsar would be the better option.
Though K J Somaiya's Highest package(26.5 LPA) is more than IIM Amritsar's(25.21 LPA). IIM Amritsar's average placement(14.63 LPA) is better than the other(10.59 LPA).
Also one of the most important quality you get in an IIM is it's brand. There is no doubt that IIM Amritsar has a brand much stronger than the other.
Hope my answer would help you.
