Symbiosis Institute of Operations Management (SIOM)-Post queries HERE!

thats good to have counter points and i feel even great to answer this.
iam going by points given by fundoo. all the information iam giving is from what i know and from my experience in this campus for 10 months.

1. when scmhrd was here placements for operations was extremely well as far as nashik campus is concerned. placements never used to happen at nashik and i dont know where form fundoo got the details. students used to commute to nashik even for summers.

2.why scmhrd moved to pune? its practically very difficult to maintain same institutes in 2 cities regarding the management issues. it was also difficult for students at 2 campuses and we know that they even had a cold war. even during placements this used to continue.

3. tilll now all the students placed for summers are from outside companies only and we didnt even ask companies like mahindra & mahindra, GSK, Siemens, Epcos or anyother multinational companies from nashik. the main reason being just to keep far the comments which have come now. nashik is a small highway town with just 3000+ companies and is the village which has got the maximum number of ISO 9000 certified companies in WORLD. true that it is not well connected to other places. we have to go to mumbai or pune. but still i have been to chennai only once after coming to SIOM. and mind u will not find time to go places.

4. summers the stats are true. being 1st year and starting in the month of december i think this is good. scmhrd's avg is also almost same but have done summers in the month of sept.

5. final package. we have been writing about it.

6.

7.

8.u can freak out but main gate closes at 10 on all days except on saturday (11).

9.symbi serves only veg.

10.our ratio is 56 : 7. if this matters, then its not the place.


current batch has got 6 students from NIT's all over india.

thanks fundoo for opting some other institute. this is also an oppurtunity for other aspirants to take decision.
any more queries, confirm before u pay a 6 digit figure to SIOM.

batch strength would remain almost the same as the present one.

TRUE PICTURE
guys i have been to the dirctrs intrvw
he is defntly a cool guy.it was more of a frndly chat than an intervw.he is new to this collg.he is planng to recruit ppl mostly with workex of
i met sm of the seniors.the batch strnght wud be incrsd to 120 by nxt yr.
ppl pls dnt take it negatively,but here is the truth.(dnt compare it with other symbi inst, all are almst same, except SIBM)..this is all first hand info.
1. When schmrd ws in ths campus placmnts whr really bad.
2. ppl dnt knw y schmrd moved out to pune..may b plcmnts??
3. nasik is small highway side town but has a good weather. but ppl wl be not that uptodate(they dnt no wht is internet). It isn well connctd with rest of india so expct only local compnis to recruit with sm additional outside compnis thru teleconfrcng.
4. summrs avg has been 5500 wt hgst of 10k..which is ok.
5. dont expect more than 4Lacs as the future avg. salary, boom in manf is still to come(welingkar had an avg sal of 3.6 till last yr with many in
6. campus is really small but defntly bggr than schmrd/siib/sitm whch r all in the same bldg.
7. life is nt that easy since ppl hav to visit yoga clss frm 630.day ends at 830 in the evening.applies to all symbi inst.but it is a mattr of adjstment.
8. cannot freak out at all,freedom not much since gates close at 10.
9. Hostel food is veg...ok,but no non veg..so one can add xtra food cst to 4.4Lacs.
10.Like any other inst in operations, dont expect girls on the campus.it will be near about 3:57.

My verdict-
Still an upcoming inst.lots of things lacking if u go according to facilities or infrastructure,
definitly wl take another 3-4yrs bfr it comes to at par with mdi and funding is needed for that,this future batch wud be btr than the currnt,the curnt batch doent hav students frm well to do engg. colleges..mostly frm colleges which hav partial/nil placements.
Suggestion-
Join SIOM n any other sysmbi inst. other than SIBM only if u want to do MBA this yr n u hav not much options n if u r not a pass out of a well to do engg college.

There can be exceptions!!

congrats...

Im in :))) All the best all ya buddies

hey ppl i am unable to check the link .
can ya ppl tell me where the link is on the site
to view the result?:(

me not in.:(:(:(
well atb & congrats
to all the ppl
who made it to siom.

Now lemme know how many people have more than 3 or 4 years of ex. To my knowledge, he is a person who made the whole criteria for this admission and announced that the restriction for work-ex will be limited to 2 years or 3 years at the max. I don't know how do you come to know about this info.:


this is all first hand info.

Management Rule 1: Don't go by first hand info. Being a manager you are expected to find the details of each and every info. FIR will not give any picture about the truth. So no point in writing this is TRUE PICTURE.



1. When schmrd ws in ths campus placmnts whr really bad.


This is concerned with Placement Team of SCMHRD. So I will keep quite in this issue and you can get the details from SCMHRD Placement Team.:satisfie:


2. ppl dnt knw y schmrd moved out to pune..may b plcmnts??


I stand behind reddy. To be frank I don't know the reason for this. If placement was the problem, why did Mr.Mujumdhar invest crores of money to start a new institute ???


3. nasik is small highway side town but has a good weather. but ppl wl be not that uptodate(they dnt no wht is internet). It isn well connctd with rest of india so expct only local compnis to recruit with sm additional outside compnis thru teleconfrcng.


Local companies ??? No local company visited the campus for placement till now. We are keeping M&M; , EPCOS, GSK on standby as reddy said just to violate these kind of issues. And moi friend, we have a dedicated 2MPBS speed internet connection with more than 80 PCs housed in the two labs. I wonder you really visited the campus.

4. summrs avg has been 5500 wt hgst of 10k..which is ok.


Again due to our placement policy we are restricted to say anything here about our placement. So I can't comment about this.:neutral:


5. dont expect more than 4Lacs as the future avg. salary, boom in manf is still to come(welingkar had an avg sal of 3.6 till last yr with many in


Salaries depends upon the performance of the individual in a particular interview and not on the institute. Barclays Investments proved it to IIM -A & IIM-B. What else you need more?. In moi experience friend, as I said already in one of the post, DON"T go by numbers alone. :grab:

6. campus is really small but defntly bggr than schmrd/siib/sitm whch r all in the same bldg.


For a student capacity of 120 ,this is more than enough.

7. life is nt that easy since ppl hav to visit yoga clss frm 630.day ends at 830 in the evening.applies to all symbi inst.but it is a mattr of adjstment.


Common to all Symbi institute.


8. cannot freak out at all,freedom not much since gates close at 10.


Freak out- what do you mean by that?? As reddy said, only for the 1st & 2nd semester it will be a tough fight for you. Espcially to the experienced to match them with the schedules. Its common and I'm saying with my experience.

9. Hostel food is veg...ok,but no non veg..so one can add xtra food cst to 4.4Lacs.


Policy decision by the Symbiosis Society. Come here we will show you the way to Kaka-Ka-Dhaba.


10.Like any other inst in operations, dont expect girls on the campus.it will be near about 3:57.


from the start moi friend radhemohanlahoti is saying the same. Its a "male college". And you are here for business and not to chit-chat.


My verdict-
Still an upcoming inst.lots of things lacking if u go according to facilities or infrastructure,


??: You compare us with ISB & IIMs?? Earlier you say we are better that SIIB/SCMHRD/SITM etc. etc. now you are contracdicting in your verdict.:wow: Does MDI started with such a infrastructure from the very first year ?? Go get the inside details buddy.


definitly wl take another 3-4yrs bfr it comes to at par with mdi and funding is needed for that


You want me to write to Dr.Mujumdhar about it?.

,
this future batch wud be btr than the currnt,the curnt batch doent hav students frm well to do engg. colleges..mostly frm colleges which hav partial/nil placements.


10 % of the students are from NIT, out of 60 5 students are from well known universities in India. 3 out of the 60 are GOLD Medalist in their Engneering Graduation. If placement is not there for their colleges, how does it affects SIOM 😞 ? I;m not getting your point dude.


Suggestion-
Join SIOM n any other sysmbi inst. other than SIBM only if u want to do MBA this yr n u hav not much options n if u r not a pass out of a well to do engg college.


Give your list of Well to do Engg College. Which engg college are you from ? JNTU , Anna University, IISc, IIT,OU ??


Dear All, from the very beginning we are asking for students who are interested in Operations Management. We don't give rigourous weightage to your college or acads much because we need only people who are really worth joining here. If you think you are WORTH for SIOM pay your fee & start packing your bags to Nasik.

All the best for those who are selected. c ya all soon in the campus.

hello congrates to all of u guys who made it to SIOM.
i think reddy answered to most of fundoo's statements.
i completly disagree for the last statement. we have students from good engg. colleges. these are not my words. it is stated by many HR profesionals when i have been to placement drive to B'lore. and also i xprenced it agine in my IR(ingersollrand) interview when i introduced myself as an RV college graduate from B'lore(i guess fundoo u know this college being from B'lore). but i agree nasik is not metro city or metro like city. in fact in my first post i did mention it.
wat ever fundoo, selection always depends on one's likes and dislikes. i wish u all the best for u in future.
i also agree for fundoo's advice tat before taking any decision u ppl better visit once SIOM.

fundoo bhai,

thanks for ur downtrodding msgs. 100 baton ki ek baat kahunga
WORTH LIES IN U NOT IN THE COLLEGE/CAMPUS. if some1 wants OM he should go with it. 2 reasons for it
1. Symbiosis Tag
2. Economy booming lot of projects in the market particularly back end operations.
decide urself. listen to every1 do what u think is good for u.
IF U URSELF DONT KNOW WHATS GOOD/BAD FOR U THEN WHO THE HELL KNOWS.
U R UR BEST ADVISOR.
HOWSOEVER ATB TO ALL SELECTED.
ME TOO GOT THRU.

And all the best to all who got thru.....

Kavnish

Hello to everyone,
Finally got through . Congrats to everyone who made it through. One advice to all plz ignore fundoo's funde. Dont give your life's driving seat to any one else. Do what you feel is best for you, over here no one is begging you to take admission if you feel like than go ahead and if you dont then be assured of the blessings from waitlisted candidates. I would like to say thanks to all our seniors for their dedicated support especially to Skylork he was the first one with whom I came in contact, even before applying to this college. Seniors like reddy, madhu they too supported us throughout thanksssssssss a ton. Ok now as per the trend started by varunpaaji: .
I am Tejinder Singh Bajaj (13th warrior in the list)
I am currently in merchant navy (Junior engg.). (I beleive I am the only shipee out here agar koi aur hai to plzzzzzzzzzz intoduce yourself).
Looking forward to join this college...........
Hey Aman thanks buddy... It would have been great if you too would have been shortlisted but anyways I beleive whatever happens, happens for the best. I still miss those breaks where we used to wait for the results in your car.

Dear fundoo i appreciate your concern shown towards us but i do beleive that we are mature enough to take our own decisions. Best of luck for your future may you get through IIMs (good college ).

Take care....

Jus a frnd.........

hi guys

even i m looking forward to be a part of this institute soon . I had my gd -pi in nasik and had a close look at the college (Lakho ka sawaal tha bhai ).
i felt that investing in this college is really worth, moreover its a course designed for engineers only !!! Kudos to that !!
Whosoever thinks( read as Fundoooo..) that doing a PG in ops could be done while enjoying all the pleasures of life would be easy ,has practically no idea of what lies ahead in his career in some other B school, coz every good B school is bound to have a rigourous routine and yu cant escape that:wow: .
by the way i liked mr bajaj's style and would like to say that "i m also a warrior,12th in the list " .
so seniors thanx 4 yur help uptill now and v all r lookin forward :robot: towards XPERIENCING life @SIOM

Seniors
I would like to know which bank is ready to provide loans.
I remem direcor say that siom has tied up with SBI, is it true!!
Also do give some input whether laptop will be prvided/ have it bring it of r own, some one had already enquired abt that. also on the pre-requirements in joining Oprns, any subjects to go thru b4 hand.

Hope to join u all

Welcome Aswath !!

Being a 3 and 1/2 year work exp guy, I would like to call you Anna . bcos I'm lesser in age and experience than you.:)

Jokes apart. APICS - is an educational institution in US that offers Body of Knowledge for Production & Inventory Resources to the OM community. They do conduct contionous competitive exams called CPIM, CIRM etc.,.

These certification are valued a lot when you go into core operations job or as IT Consutants. Bcos mostly & widely used in these industries. You will get exposure to CPIM module at SIOM, which consist of 5 papers. You will get special trainings for these papers apart from the addition that all these papers are part of the curriculum what we have here.

To add the list, now latestly they have came up with CSCP another module in India. To know more technically about APICS please do contact REDDY. Because , he is the one who speaks serious about it.
