   Thank you for this very useful information.
   My daughter has scored 70.5% in the recent HSC examination from SNDT college. She had taken HSC MCVC (with “Bakery and nutrition”).
   She is now very keen on doing BMM.
   Could you please recomend most suitable colleges for her, we need hostel accomodation.
   What is the last date of submission and process of applying?
   Do these college publish 2nd / 3rd round of admission lists?
   Thank you very much….

   Thank You Sir for your Query…

   Sir, we have uploaded the cutoffs and the colleges where she can apply in our BMM Colleges and CUtoffs section. But still i will help you out again…

   70.5 % is not a bad score actually to apply to good colleges….But the choice does gets narrowed down coz she has just managed to crossthe border..With the results of HSC not very good this time, i would recommend the following colleges for her:

   1. Usha Pravin Gandhi College Parle (w)
   2. National College (Bandra –West)…To be applied only if you are a sindhi
   3. Andrews College (Bandra—-West)
   4. MMk college (Bandra—west)
   5. SNDT College Marine Lines
   6. Bhavans College —-Andheri West
   7. Rizvi College —–Bandra west
   8. Vivekanand college
   9. Ritumbara college—-Andheri West, JUHu

   Tell her to apply to these cooleeges as all of them are renowned enough for BMM except MMK and Rizvi coz of their faculties…She will sail in these colleges though for admissions…..

   So keep vvisiting the blog and get back to me incase of any more Queries…Also let me know her final decision regarding admissions into college….

   Thank You,
   Regards,
   Manish V Dhanwani

   Guru Nanak and Khalsa are OK colleges for BMM…..But by looking at the Percentage that you have scored, I would also suggest you to apply at BURHANI and LALA college of Management…..

   Getting into LALA’s might be a touch difficult but dont worry, HSC results are not so good again…..So you might have a slight chance

   Can u tell me the percentage of reduction of cutoffs for sindhis in sindhi colleges……Eg. 5% meaning the normal cutoff is 100% and sindhi cutoff is 95%

9. Manish Dhanwani

   June 11th, 2009 at 5:43 pm

   hi manoj,
   you can always expect that the cutoff in sindhi colleges under sindhi quota is 4-5 %…..as the range last year was 3-4 %, but the HSC results have kind of gone towards the down side this year..So 4-5 % is a safe bet this time for sure…

   Do leave more comments and get all your doubts cleared ..I am always happy to help

    hi!!

    i think this is avery useful way of letting students know, wat thecourse is and wat all it demands….

    well by giving in the college with their percentage breakup, it will help the students, to select excatly the college in their percent strata…this would also save their time, and perhaps the students could utilize that time n speaking to the concerned ppl

    hey manish, u cud also giv names n ref of students in the 1st yr, in the collegesstated above…
    i think that will help the students get a broader perspective of the sub and the course.

    thanks

    Thank you for the valuable inputs….

    But this is th reason why I am writing this BLOG so that all BMM students can get in touch with me and i make sure that i provide them with an unbiased opinion….which the other students might not be able to provide….

    I entertain all the doubts and make sure all BMM people land up making a good career…..

    But i still appreciate your feeddback and value the same…

    Hello Jaanisar,

    Well there are very less chances of you getting into Smt CHM college because, the final list is expected to close in the range of 60-64% this year…

    As far as RIZVI is concerned, i think that the chances are seriously dim here as well because you needed to get atleast 58-60 % to clear RIZVI…But i would still recommend you to apply to RIZVI and keep your fingers crossed….

    You could also take up a management quota seat in rizvi itself…

    Keep Posting your queries and i shall KEEP HELPING you in the right Direction…..

    hi naksh,
    Following the Mumbai University’s decision to introduce the Bachelor of Mass Media (BMM) course in Marathi, 11 colleges in Mumbai have applied for permission to start the course.

    Ramnarain Ruia College, Dadar, Siddharth College, Fort, DG Ruparel College, Matunga, and Ambedkar College, Matunga are some of the colleges which want to start the course from the academic year 2009-2010.

    Since the academic council took the decision to introduce the course in Marathi in February, it is heartening to see colleges applying for it. The syllabus has been modified to include information on Marathi media, history etc…….
    The course which was earlier criticised for being irrelevant to the profession was modified after a delegation of prominent Marathi journalists petitioned the vice chancellor to include industry professionals and make the course available in Marathi.

    A few colleges in the city have applied to start the course in Marathi in the coming academic year. Colleges are still considering the logistics with regards to teachers, seats etc….

    Colleges now are in a hunt to search for bilingual faculty who can teach in Marathi and English.

    However, with just a month left for degree college admissions, colleges will have to hurry up and find relevant faculty for the course. “There is already a dearth of relevant teachers in the mass media course. However, colleges will tap the Marathi media to get faculty

    well naksh, in 65.5 % , The colleges under SVKM banner are wiped out as an option because the cutoffs are very high in that colleges…You might just be able to sneak in MITHIBAI or UPG college for BMM only if you apply under the GUJARATI quota…..

    Well Raheja could be an option but even their list is expected to close a bit on the higher end this year as the college has started to become popular as far as the BMM course is cconcerned….

    But do apply in RAHEJA though and keep youyr fingers crossed…

    Good LUCK….

    Lemme know if you need more information

    Hey Manish,

    First of all I just wanted to say, great job with this blog. It’s helped me so much more than all the other unreliable and out of date info on the net.

    I just wanted to ask:

    I’m a Sindhi and I’ve gotten 67% in this year’s commerce HSC exam. I’m applying to the following colleges for BMM under Sindhi quota:

    *Jai Hind

    *Nationals

    *MMK

    What are my chances of getting into Nationals and Jai Hind considering the low overall percentage this year?

    Thanks in advance,
    Dave.

    Thank You DAVE for the wonderful support that you have given to this site….

    It is because of students like you that motivate us to help and we are able to give you quality and unbiased GUIDANCE ….

    Under SINDHI quota, you will definitely get through MMK…There is little chance for you getting into NATIONALs, but again please do fill the form for the same as there is 30% chance….Also, in JAI HIND , there is no chance because the cutoffs for sindhi quota is estimated to be in the range of 70-72% this year inspite of a drop in RESULTS….i would also suggest you to fill RITUMBARA,LS RAHEJA and BHAVANS (just as BACK ups) incase you dont get into MMK…But dont worry you will definitely get into MMK under Sindhi Quota

    well well a tough question though…..

    But a good one…

    I should say that only KC offers a placeement assistance after you are done with your course…Many other colleges are coming up with the criteria of PLACING students soon, but news is awaited as of now….There has been no official announcements yet on the same though…

    Well all the cordinators have good contacts in the industry…So if you maintain good relations with them , who knows, you might be the LUCKY one…(LOL)..

    Anyways, here are the ranks as per the Faculty and Fame criteria that you were looking for….

    1. RD National
    2. Ruia
    3. Sk Somaiya
    4. UPG
    5. SIES Sion as also SIES Nerul
    6. Raheja
    7.Khalsa

    These results are done strictly as per my research and do not bear resemblance to any other controversies…..

    well, it is nice to see that you are vvery clear about your goals….

    I suggest work-ex for Journalism students and some advtg students depending on their queries, aima, ambitions, and goals….

    NOrmally, there are exams like gmat that you have to give and also score good if you aim to do things from a Reputed college…….

    Yes you will have to pursue a masters degree first as 16 years educaation is the norm..I wiuld suggest you do an M.COM in Marketing to make things lighter and brighter for you in the future…..and then Pursue MBA …There are many good colleges in INDIA as well that can give quality teachings in marketing..(give it a thought)
    Also there is huge money involved in going to the USA..So better make careful decisions in times of Recession…
    As far as DIPLOMA in event management is concerned, my serious advice is that it is just to add a couple of lines in your CV and nothing else..Even USA does not consider that to be of any use…So…take care and all the best and do leave more comments to know more…

    It was a pleasure to help you….
    Let me know if you need anything else though from my end….

    Happy to help

    1. Kellogg (northwestern)
    2. Wharton
    3.Harvard
    4. Tuck (Dartmouth)

    Dear Manish,

    I scored an 89.5% in ISC in 2008. I have applied for admission in BMM in St.Xavier’s. What are the chances to getting it in the 1st Merit List?

    Also, do you have any idea about how much weightage a gold medal from an ASISC National Sports Meet would hold?

    Also, is there going to be an interview for the selected candidates post the announcement of the merit list…?

    hi sneha,

    You are such a deserving candidate for BMM……
    And XAVIERS pays special importance to SPORTS and you are a gold medalists as well…..

    And Interview does not take place…It was earlier when there used to be written exams……
    Admissions is purely on MERIT basis…..

    Please let me know if i can help you !!!!

    dont be tensed coz here are a few good news for you:
    1. Minority Category normally get in due to reservations
    2. Cutoffs are considered different for science students…..They are normally less….

    Apply in maximum colleges….as you can… I would also suggest you to apply in RIZVI and BHAVANS

    Let me know when you get in

    Ok…Dont get tensed…

    xaviers will be a tad too LENGTHY this time for you to get in……
    Just because even though the results have come down low this time, The cut off for Xaviers is till the same…..It has maintained it standards…

    But yes the buzz is that all the other colleges in the category will maintain the same cut offs this year…

    Hi Manish,

    I have got a 77% in HSC science.I was in Jai Hind for FY and SYJC.And I am a Sindhi.

    Also do I have any chance for getting in to Xaviers BMM?

    Thanks Manish!

    hi,
    I thank you for your compliments but at the same time i would request you not to use abusive language and refrain from Slangs on this blog…It’s a sincere request..Congrats for scoring 73 % in HSC…..

    Well you have great chance of getting into SIES sion…
    RUIA will be difficult to get in with this…..

    But there are so many other great colleges that you could apply to…read the article for same…
    Getting a year late wont affect, only if you have done something meaningful to uplift yourself in that 1 year..(Work or Some good meaningful Courses)…
    Also All the very best for your future and do let me know which college you get into…..

    till then, keep posting….

    Happy to Help!!

    hi Sasha,

    You are the first Sindhi to comment….(lol)
    Well xaviers is out of list for you ….

    you can still get into Jai HInd because they normally have their first list closed at a high %……

    If the management decides to take out only 3 lists, then it is a problem…But if 5 lists are coming out this time, then You will manage to sneak in i guess….

    Keep Posting

54. Manish Dhanwani

    Dont get tense and what was the cut off for XAVIERS …Jai Hind has higher cut offs normally for their 1st lisyt as i told you….

    According to my insights into the same, This time JAI HIND is expected to close at round 76-77%….You might just sneak in …ok

    Keep Posting and do let me know about your progress on the same

    dont worry..Never ask the students…Normally they try to scare the hell out of other aspirants….
    Any ways, You have the advantage of the Quota…you will definitely get in…AAll the very best…

    Keep me updated about your progress….

    thank you…

    Do keep me updated….

    Keep Posting and visiting this blog…

    I will soon make arrangements for some expert interviews on BMM from BMM Faculties and Cordinators though…

    Keep Checking the BLog and hear what people want to say about BMM…..

    hi anushree…i still maintain my word…Dont think about XAVIERS now….They will normally have a very high cut off like last Year….

65. Manish Dhanwani

    65

    well…well….

    Normally the professional courses like BMM, the INHOUSE students dont get and advantage unlike B.COM…because there are few students who take admission into the colleges for B.COM and therefoore INHOUSE is considered a priority there and nowhere else….
    People follow in herds after SYJC to pursue BMM and therefore the colleges normally dont have inhouse students’ preference there……

    But still. i would suggest you go and have a word with the college cordinator as well as pass on her number to me….I will try grtting more insights into the same…..

    Goo woth one of your parents and PLAY SAFE!!!ok

71. Manish Dhanwani

    June 17th, 2009 at 11:47 am

    71

    hi roshmila….

    There are no good colleges that can offer BMM because your HSC per centage is a bit on the lower side….
    Anyways , apply to BURHANI, BHAVANS, and LORD College (Malad east)

72. Manish Dhanwani

    Hi Mr. Manish,

    I am from arts background and I have scored 84.83% in HSC. I belong to the general category, no reservations at all. My best 4 is 89 and best 5 is 87%.

    The first list of Xavier’s has been released and the cut off stands at a whooping 88.14%.

    Do you think I can get into the second list or the third?

75. Manish Dhanwani

    hey anand…thats true buddy…No one can understand the INDIAN EDUCAtion sysTEM….

    Well if there are 4 lists to come, then there are chances of it slipping down to 440….ook

    Your Welcome

76. Manish Dhanwani

    June 17th, 2009 at 1:57 pm

    This is very tricky…it all depends on the authority and the number of people taking admisssions in it…

    Lemme know if i could help you more!!!!

86. Manish Dhanwani

    June 18th, 2009 at 8:58 am

    86

    Hi MAriyam,
    i would suggest you take a seat only if you are very keen on doing BMM….

    What was the cut off for the first list at BURHANI????

    And what are the other colleges that you have applied to??

    I can give you a more sure shot opinion and advice on the same….if you can let me know the cutoffs for other BMM colleges that you have applied to?

    Also, i would suggest that you block this seat as of now, if you really want to do BMM .Later if you get admission into any other better college than this, then you can always cancel the admission….

    And reply back with the cutoffs for other colleges so that i can recommend you the colleges that you could wait for?

    Hi Manish,

    I have scored 84.6% in Commerce.. and am thru in the first list of KC and Sophiya. I should get into the second list of JaiHind as well. Now I’m confused about which college to conform my admission in? I have applied at Xaviers as well. If I get into Xaviers also, kindly help me out by suggesting where should I confirm?

    Sphiya, KC, jaiHind or Xaviers?(not in the list yet)

88. Mariyam

    June 18th, 2009 at 9:03 am

    88

    I have got into Burhani coz my minority quota, where as i have applied for K.C.- 87%, Xaviers – 90% , Nationals- not known, Hinduja – 78%

    89

    hey ankita,
    Great yaar…you have a choice of choosing amongst the BEST in town….

    I would suggest you to Get into SOPHIYAs….It is really gaining amazing recognition in the industry for BMM!!
    If you get into Xaviers , then you could consider a switch , but SOPHIYA’s is really the best as of now….

    Could you just let me know the First List cutoffs of the various colleges, that you have applied to…..I need it for a comprehensive analysis on BMM…

    Thanks,

    Keep Posting!!

    Hi Manish,

    Could you please specify the factors that favour Sophiya over KC. I’m frantically trying to call up everyone I know who could help me get thru this dilemma. Most of the ppl i called, are favouring KC, and others wouldn’t want to be in the position I’m in.( to chose between the two).

    Thanks

    Hey Manish,
    Great effort on your part! Thanks a ton! =)

    Okay, I score 87.2% in HSC, Science stream, open category. I’ve applied at Xaviers’, KC, Jai Hind and SIES (Nerul).

    SIES, I got through in the first list. Have paid up as a back up.
    I read your response to someone else saying Jai Hind is likely to close around 77%. I take it that was for the open category?

    What’s the scene with Xaviers and KC? Also, suppose I get both, which would be a better choice?

    Hope to hear from you soon =)

     hi divya,
     the cut offs have really been very high this time…..

     What I would recommend is LS Raheja…..as of now…Not Bhavans at all coz the infrastructure and Crowd is not upto the mark…..

     As well as what i would suggest is that block a seat in LS RAHEJA and leter switch if you get into UPG….and even if you get into Ruia and UPF both, i would suggest you to go for UPG because the college is really coming off age…Rest is upto you…Let me know the cutoffs for the first list in whatever colleges you know….

     HI Mariyam,
     as far as the cutoffs that you have provided me with, i dont see any chance of you getting anywhere where you have applied….
     Have you applied in LS raheja & Rizvi?
     as the cutoffs have been a bit on the lower side ….in these colleges and you will easily get in it…as far as my analysis goes…..
     If you want to seriously go for BMM, and have not applied to rizvi and LS raheja….then go for BURHANI…coz thats the only viable option that i can see for you…

     Anyways BLOCK burhani as of now..and keep me updating on the cutoffs so that i can help you better

     As per the news , it is expected to go down till 77% for SINDHI quota….

     i am assuming that you have paid for SIES NERUL…(thats a great option that you have taken )……Obviiously without saying, XAVIERS would be a better option to consider….
     KC Science has closed at 90 %…will go down till 86% though…
     Xaviers also has closed at 90% for SCIENCE…will go down till 86% as well

     Hi Mitali,
     BMM in KHALSA is not a bad option to go for actually…But i would suggest you take up BMM only if you want to seriously pursue it…Or else stick to RUIA BA…But once again, the college is ok and not that great….But again, BMM is coming of age ….I wwould suggest a BMM in KHALSA, only if you are genuinely interested in doing BMM

112. Manish Dhanwani

     June 19th, 2009 at 7:17 pm

     hi ashley,
     If incase there are 5 lists to come out then you will sail through @ SIES …..

     Which SIES (Nerul or SION) closed at 73 in the second list????
     You also have achance in ANDREWS and wilson…..So chill and dont get nervous…..

     Do me a favour na…
     Just keep me updated on the cutoffs for the second list in various colleges so that I can make a comprehensive analysis for further discusiions and help you Out, with more solid and sure information….

     Okay, from what the newspapers say, KC second list closed at 87.17% for science, open. That’s exactly how much I scored, so I’m guessing mine is the last name on the list.
     I have to pick between SIES Nerul and KC, since Xaviers and Jai Hind 2nd list nahi hai.

     I live in Vashi so SIES means about 20 minutes-half an hour of travel.
     Getting to KC will take around 1 hr 15 mins one way. Keeping travel time AND actual market value, faculty and exposure of the college in mind which would be a better choice?
     My parents aren’t too keen on KC because they feel that area wont be safe to be returning from when there are late evening projects and stuff.

     Another thing is that KC was acredited A grade by the NAAC, which SIES was not. As per a newspaper article in Dec, 3 yr grad from A (or higher) grade colleges in India will enable me for post grad in the USA, so I save a couple of years there, can can also do an MBA from one of the better instis abroad.

     So yeah, what’s your take on the situation?
     Most grateful for any sorta help, thanks

118. Manish Dhanwani

     June 20th, 2009 at 5:10 am

     hi mitali,
     there is always more scope in BMM rather than conventional BA……

     And yes by doing BMM, you will not loose anything at all only if you want to pursue a creer in ADVERTISING or JOURNALISM…..
     So go ahead and do BMM without second thoughts on the same….there is also a benefit attched to BMM….i.e After doing BMM, if you dont want to do further studies…you can always work in related fields whereas not the same in BA….

     Hi Shweta,
     nice to see that you are thinking beyond Graduation at this moment…..
     I would suggest SIES NERUL for you since there are a lot of PROJECCTS for which you literally need to slog for even NIGHTS ….See, these ratings keep on changing every time….and its not that you will not be able to do post grad in US!!
     I am a bmm ite from a college that had just started BMM, when i had joined..and when for my post grad even i had plans for goin to the US, and the only criterion was a 16 year education …Rest all depended on the entrance exam GMAT….So dont worry and get going with SIES Nerul…

     Do keep me updated about the 2nd lists at various colleges and about your PROGRESS as well…..

     Keep Posting and get all you doubts cleared!!

     With 56 % , you might be able to get in KELKAR or at the most khalsa only …..
     And donation seats ,well you need to inquire that from colleges only as I dont want to share such information in OPEN….

     Also, SIES (SION) might be able to give admisssion in SC category , but RUIA wont….

     Keep me updated about the various cutoffs for second list in the colleges that you have tried , so that i can help you better….

     Ah shoot, I was hoping you’d pitch for KC

     The 16 year education thing is what an A grade for KC eliminates na. If I do well in my BMM and whatever GMAT/SAT things we have to give, I have some great options post grad.

     Been to SIES, seen some stuff people have put together, the crowd.. I’m not particularly keen on studying there. I will if I have to, but naah… KC join kiya toh there’s always an option of staying back at a friend’s place if the situation really demands, nahi? I’m of the opinion that something will fall in place when I need it to.

     So umm, you’re still gunning for SIES? : |

     hi ashley…
     please check the cutoffs carefully for ANDREWS…
     I think 78 was for the 1st list brother

     Hi shweta….
     yes there is always but, then look at the travelling time also na….there are days when weeks go like this packed and you might just MISS out on lovely things like extra curriculars and all….And somedays even when you will have one lect only to attend but that will be the most important one….
     See, many such things like these will keep on happening and you might get frustrated….
     I once again would suggest you to go for Sies and not KC….Although KC is a far better option…but you cant help with such situations….
     Also if you could convince your PARENTS about staying in a HOSTEL which KC provides you….or also staying in a PG facility…Thats the best thing to do if you want to go in for KC!!
     And also KC does not eliminate that option of a 16 year education RULE in the US!! Its a RULE there and you have to abide by it!!
     Also let me know the second list cutoffs for all the colleges that you have tried in and let me see if I could work out some better OPTIONS for YOU then…

     Keep Posting and get your doubts Cleared!!

     Applied to Xaviers and Jai Hind. No list at Xaviers, JH ka second list had 2 new entries from science open (that’s all I really checked), closed at 89.8%.
     So yeah, its either KC or SIES. I’m gravitating towards KC (as if that isn’t obvious yet ). Anyway, given a choice between JH and KC, I’d want to pick the latter, so that’s out. Xaviers ka kuch chance currently toh nahi dikh raha.

     I’ll put up all the cut offs for KC’s second list, gimme a while.

     Hi Poonish,

     Take NATIONALS if you stay in suburbs….

     Keep POsting and Get your Doubts CLeared!!

149. Manish Dhanwani

     June 23rd, 2009 at 6:43 am

     149

     Hi Anand,
     They will not give admission coz you have not filled the form….

     if you have scored much more than their cutoffs , then why not apply in some better college than MMK???
     In which other ccolleges have you applied for BMM???

     Also , i would not advice paying money and getting in when your % is good enough..

     Last year, MMK had no infrasstructure for BMM….

     Just inquire about that before taking any decision…..

     Let me know about your progress!!

     Happy To Help!!

     hi,
     i got 71.33% in commerce. i have filled form in raheja and MMK and other colleges.
     i got my name in Raheja. but am not willing to take admission in Raheja please let me know if i’ll get my name in list of MMK as i want to go in that college also i have done my 12th frm MMK.

158. Manish Dhanwani

     158

     hi Madiha,
     well, i doubt the list will go down till 71.33%

     i would advice you to take in RAHEJAS as of now and book your seat there!!

     When and later you get into MMK, you can always quit Rahejas

159. Manish Dhanwani

     June 23rd, 2009 at 5:41 pm

     Hi RUPA,

     Congratulations…..see, i dont have any idea about BSC COMP SCIENCE…and i would really noty advice you on the same….
     But yes definitely SK Somaiya is agood option for BMM…..First you need to be clear as to what you like???
     COMPUTERS or MEDIA and then select your choice…dont go in for COLLEGES…if you have it in you and like the arena , then you will surely make it BIG…

     I would give a THUMBS up to SK SOMAIYA for BMM!!

     Let me know your decision and keep me updated about your PROGRESS though!!

     Hi Yash…

     i would advice UPG as the college is really coming off age…Also the benefit of the SVKM banner is attached to it….
     And also really convenient to travel!!
     And i would advice you take in UPG because it is coming off age…i would request you to read the Interview of Mrs.Narayani Pillai on the home page of the blog posted under FACULTIES SPEAK ON BMM!!

     Also there is Interview of Ms Shivani Mehta (Coordinator of BMM) under the same section…

     Read their interviews to make your decision….

     Let me know, if you need any more help for selecting and i will sort things out for you!!

166. Manish Dhanwani

     June 23rd, 2009 at 6:54 pm

     thank you anand…

Now The Academic Year 2009-10 Just To Start But There Are No Any Sign Of ‘BMM In Marathi’.Why This All Procedure Taking To Much Time.I Have Applied Application In Ruia & Sathey College (Just A Paper Copy) For This Course But Result Is No Reply!! I Know Mumbai University Not Yet Sent Confirmation Letter Of This Course To Such Colleges.I Really Don’t No When I Can Study My Carrier Intrest In My ‘Mother Tounge’? Do You Know Something About It ?? I Know I Am Asking To Much But We Don’t Have Any Other Place To Free Our Mind On This Date Except Management Paradise Its Really Paradise For Us.I Am Not Forcing You To Give Me Any Satisfactory Answer But I Am Thanking You To Giving All Of Us Comfort Which We Need Very Badly.Have A Nice Day!!

     Hi Anushree,

     Well the amount varies from to college …In SIES in minority quota also in SIES the amount they ask was 3 lakhs as per ANAND(BLOG VISITER) …

     Well go and meet the BMM coordinators in that case and please dont tell that your DAD is a BUSINESSMAN incase he is..Coz then the college demands for more ….
     UPG COORDINATOR is Mrs. Navita Kulkarni
     Sies Sion is Prof.Mayurakshi Mitra

     thanks a lot for your compliments naksh…
     I would advice you to go to the post of BMM ARTICLES AND HAPPENINGS on my BLOG…the university has still not given any approval and is still finding faculties for the same..The course would only progress then and not all colleges have appiled for the same…I have posted an article on the same in the section BMM ARTICLES AND HAPPENINGS ….And i do understand the eagerness to pursue career in you mother tongue….But till its not official even I wont be able to comment on the same….But also in ENGLISH version of BMM, there has been a lot of LOCALNESS introduced in the SUBJects…..So Enjoy and keep posting!!!

     Keep Coming to the BLOG and Leave such questions….so that even the others get to know whats in and around….

     Thank You Naksh….We will be starting with a contest very soon and i think you should participate so that you win amazing prizes…Management Paradise will pay for whatever course you aspire like ACTING, RJ, DJ, DIRECTION, Scripting, EDITING and many more…
     So be here to PROFIT for YOURSELF!!

     I dont think that chances are too bright for you in JAI HIND

177. Anand

     June 24th, 2009 at 6:27 pm

     ohh manish thats gr8 .. ill definately participate !!

     well this person i was talking to in sies he told me that there is no point in going to mmk and asking for management seats as i had not filled a form there !!

     and anushree … yes the donations amount is between 2-4 lakh from college to college … xaviers and wilson wont give u admissions with money u need someone u know from the management only then u will get admission !!

     hard luck !!

     and thanx a lot again manish !

     Hi Nikhil,
     Shifting to other colleges after the first year with a good percentage sounds very convincing to mind….But here are some facts:

     1. You dont know how much will you score in your internals as this would be your first year of doing projects in BMM
     2. BMM has 50% theory and 50% practicals….You need to really work very hard to fail
     3. You are aiming for colleges like SIES or KC, both of which are filled with exxcellent students
     4. There is hardly a failure or drop outs in such good colleges
     5. A seat is only offered if you do exceptionally well in your FYBMM or if there are any failures or drop outs in other colleges….

     So please consider these things before taking any step further…
     And good that you asked me such a thing…Really proud of You

     Keep Such Questions coming and Please Do Get Your Doubts Cleared as this will decide your Career!!

     189

     i am sorry anushree,
     i dont really remember the coordinator’s name there…but there is this MEDIA DEPT on the first floor and you have to go there and speak to the coordiantor…I have forgotten his name , but he is a sir for sure..When yo go there you could find out about the coordinator’s name there..Ask any one and they will tell you…A final MERIT LIST is yet going to be displayed in WILSOn and you might just sneak in coz you are somehere around their cutoffs….So wait till the 26 in wilson …till then try in other colleges….

     co-ordinator if wilson mr.sudhakar ..actually he is gonna quit the next year ..so there is no point in joining wilson thats what a student from sybmm in wilson told me.

203. Anand

     June 25th, 2009 at 1:53 pm

     203

     @anushree i spoke in 2 daus back .. u will have to shell out 2 lakhs!!

204. Anushree

     June 25th, 2009 at 5:37 pm

     204

     S.k somaiya, ruia, st.andrews and jai hind

205. Manish Dhanwani

     June 25th, 2009 at 6:03 pm

     205

     Hi Anand,
     the name of WILSOn is only enough for BMM….If a coordinator is going to quit then what makes you think that you should not join WILSON….
     Infact, who knows,there may be someone else better in his place to come !!
     My Best Wishes with Mr.Sudhakar though, but WILSON is very good for BMM

206. Manish Dhanwani

     June 25th, 2009 at 6:14 pm

     206

     hi anushree,
     Donation wise , try first in Andrews,Somaiya,RUIA nd then Jai hind
     and if you are looking quality wise, then try the reverse order of the same

207. Manish Dhanwani

     June 25th, 2009 at 6:40 pm

     207

     Hi Shaina….Its not a fight between DELHI and MUMBAI, but between CBSE AND SSC boards…..Even if you stay here, you have to go through this brunt if you have done CBSE board!!There is this 90:10 quaota system in practice….But you never know when things will like turn out and what will they turn out to be???
     My only advice would be STUDY HARD and BACK YOURSELF….if you score 90 +, you definitely have a chance in good colleges for BMM…ddont consider these quota systems as an obstacle….Think about the fact that not many people apply and you will get through…
     Stay In Touch for latest happenings though in the world of bmm!!

208. Manish Dhanwani

     June 25th, 2009 at 6:45 pm

     208

     Hi saloni,
     see, the list is already out for all colleges mostly and now the onnly way for you to get into BMM would be DONATION SEATS and nothing else….
     ECONOMIC honours is also a great thing though , but then waht excites you towards BMM?? Because Economics is not greatly used in BMM though…
     You have already secured admissions ECO HOnours and now BMM- it’s a totally different line….

     Please do reply…
     Thank YOu

215. Manish Dhanwani

     June 26th, 2009 at 7:02 am

     215

     Hi Shaina,
     Nope the one in the open category means that these are for the people who dont have quota …..
     Like Gujarati, Sindhi, South Indian, etc….

     There is this 90.10 quota system applicable here….

     I saw the list and for every college there were like 10 CBSE people in every college on an average if you see….

     So dont worry and STudy Hard!! AAlso people from the IB board have also go chance in a very reputed college for BMM like Nationals …So obviously , CBSE people will get through here provided the percentage is good ebough like a 90 +….

216. shaina

     June 26th, 2009 at 7:21 am

     217

     Hi shaina….
     Nice to know your curiosity!!
     As far as the scenario is concerned with this time, I feel you will get in if you score 90+…ok but make sure that you score 90+ , like a 91-92 would be sufficcient…

     So dont worry and give your studies the best shot ……All the Best!!

226. Manish Dhanwani

     June 27th, 2009 at 6:47 am

     226

     ok great,
     Well, in the 3rd year of BMM you have 2 options: 1)Advertising 2) Journalism
     You can like choose between the 2 and make a selected career path for yourself…
     In advertising , CLIENT SERVICING will help you get a good pay for yourself….
     also COPYWRITING is a ssield that will pay huge returns but then not in the initial start…..
     In journalism, well reporting or content development or freelancing pays but then there is a lot of initial struggle in that….
     You could also join a Producction house coz that really pays big!!

     Also the option for further studies is also opened !!

     I would suggest you to go through the section of : OPPORTUNITIES AFTER BMM on the blog….
     In that there are various career options discussed as well as there is one article: WORK OR STUDY FURTHER in that secction itself

     Just click on this link http://bmm.managementparadise.com/?cat=59 aand you will directly land up there!!

     Let me know your feedback on the same as well as do let me know if any other help is required!!

     Happy to help!!

     i went thru the whole thing…
     bt i m pretty sure that i dont want journalism in 3rd yr..i will definitely opt for ad..
     and to be more precise, i do hv a bent towards PR as i m relly outspoken, extrovert and posses good communication skills…bt den, i hv eo suppore my family as i m the only child…dis is my dream…so, i want to knw ki does PR officials get a good pay? and which r good instis for PR?

228. Manish Dhanwani

     June 27th, 2009 at 9:48 am

     228

     Hi Shaina,
     Great to see the YOUTH thinking about their family…Its Really an honour for me to clear all your doubts and i am certainly proud of you and I know that your family too wil feel the same…
     I have uploaded the PR institutes..Click on this link to follow http://bmm.managementparadise.com/?p=157

     Pr officials get good pay…The pay scale for a normal BMM grad is somewhere in the range of 11.5-13 k per month these days…But you have to think of it some 4 years down the line…I think till that time it should be in the range of 14-17k…Get done with your PG studies and you could earn loads !!

     Keep Visting and posting your doubts as well !!
     Keep in Touch and i shall be happy to help!!

     well sir, i must say ur guidance is helping me a lot.
     i wud be really greatful if u also tell me the best of the instis dat u mentioned..and the pay of a pr official…
     moreover, i m also intrested to knw ki wat work does a PR officer exactly do…
     plz do comply with this info..

231. Manish Dhanwani

     June 27th, 2009 at 1:08 pm

     231

     Both SIES are at the same level only….But yes dont try for SIES Sion…Take Sies Nerul…coz it is just a step above to SIES sion….
     The projects aree more or less the same, and yes SIES Nerul does have a much better Infra and also it has Mgmt college which looks after the Placements….

     So dont worry and Take in SIES nerul…Its a good option…SIES Nerul does have VISITING FACULTY as well and also SIES sion, But NERUL is a good option if travelling is not a problem…

     Do let me know your decision though and keep me updated about your progress!!
     thanks

     hi Shaina…..

     See PR officials have to maintain contacts in the assigned industry…they normallly act as GOODWILL officers for Celebs, FIRMS,…etc…
     they have to maintain good rapport for the firm…Get them Business as well…Maintain contacts in the MEDIA fraternity….Normally a very exciting job….

     See I have sent you the best institutes in INDIA for PR though…..
     they are divided as per the CITIES also….But a few exceptional ones would be….

     Mudra (Ahmedabad), Xaviers (Mumbai), Symbiosis (Pune), Times School of Journalism and Film and Television Institute of India, Pune

     These Institutes are very reputed and will give you a great career in PR…

     Let me know if you need any more help though

     Hi manish,
     Firstly, you have done a fabulous job with this blog. I hope for the best in your life as you seem very talented.
     Getting to my problem, I completed my HSC examination in the commerce stream in 2007 in which i scored 57.17% . I then took a gap as i was’nt sure of what i wanted to pursue. I had applied for BMM to Nationals and MMK and i had no chance. It was foolish of me not to apply elsewhere. I’m stuck in a very bad situation currently!
     What options would you suggest to me ? I know that you’ve mentioned college’s like LALA and Gurunanak but with all due respect i dont think i’d survive a day in those colleges. If not BMM what other path would you suggest?

     P.S I am interested in the beat of advertising and Entertainment(T.V and Film).
     Waiting for your early response. Thanks!

     Hi Ashish,
     Thank you very much for all your best wishes!!
     Coming to your Problem, very frankly speaking, there is no other chance for you to get into this course apart from the MANAGEMENT Quota Seats, i.e Paid seats…

     A paid seat would cost you lakhs of rupees!!
     There is no other way!! But since you have taken a break, i would advice you to just get in a college, if you are willing to get paid seat as an option!!If you plan to break this year and get into a college, the next year,I would seriously advice you to drop that idea since the resluts are just getting better year after year!!

     Also, I would suggest you to do some OTHER courses like RJ, DIRECTION, etc…. and then make it BIG in the media field!!
     But you have to get done with your graduation because it is the bare mimimum need of the hour and iit also counts at a later stage for doing your HIGHER STUDIES and when youu get on the JOB!! So that ways, GRADUATION bECOMES a MUST!!

     See, Another road would be, you get done with B.COM, vut SIDE BY SIDE do a couple of courses like EVENT Management, Something like RJ,Something like Production and direction and that might sail you through wherever you want to go!!

     I will be conducting a CONTEST which starts today in which you can win exclusive SCHOLARSHIPS and make your career in any field like RJ,DJ,SCRIPTING,EDITING,DIRECTION,ACTING,and many more…You just name the course and we will have it done for you….
     We will make your career and you shall remember us for a long time to come!!
     So keep VISTING the BLOG and GET yourself BIG in the MEDIA field….

     Keep in TOUCH and I make sure that you grow with me!!

     Manish, Thank you for your prompt response. Can i get your emal id as it would be a little weird if i asked you questions regarding paid seats on a blog! Im guessing you already have my email id. If not, i shall post it on this blog.

     ad or PR?

251. Manish Dhanwani

     July 3rd, 2009 at 1:51 pm

     251

     Hi Shaina,
     It all depends onn your interest…You make good contacts in both the fields…
     Also, I would advice you to get into BMM and then you would have a much more clearer understanding on all the subjects including PR..Also the money involved is also more or less the same!!

     Let me know if I can help you more!!

     regards

253. Manish Dhanwani

     hhi anand,
     I would advice you to first go to MMk and if not then consult Hinduja for the same and if nnot pay and get in RIZVI….
     Also seats do get vacant, but then you have to go to colleges and inquire.they wont call you even if they say they will

     July 9th, 2009 at 4:37 pm

     260

     dude i went to rizvi … i felt like running away from their seeing the crowd…
     and in MMK the faculty is same as Nationsals,jaihind kc and all ..thats what people have told me so i would like to know ur opinion about that !!
     and also i stay at Thane and rizvi’s timmings are 7.00 in the morning it would be very tough for me where as MMK operates at 10.00 or something like that….

     and i am still working in hinduja those people have throughly confused me

     the princi signed my application ..and told me to get the form from the office….and then the registrar signed on it and told me to come tommow . I asked him does filling form now means i have secured a seat he says well i guess yes the princi has signed so u might…. but i dont know … where as this registrar was saying we dont have any seats sorry ….talk to the princi i dont know what to do ? :O

261. Manish Dhanwani

     July 9th, 2009 at 4:55 pm

     261

     pester hinduja people!! and get through anyhow…
     And yes i know that crowd @ Rizvi is…..
     But never the less bargain with MMK people and make them go down till 50 k or else hinduja will be a good option..no point paying 1 lac to MMK …
     So go to hinduja or else takie in RIZVI I would suggest..But MMk is worth in 50 k

     Hi manjunath…
     You are searching for BBm course and this is a BMM (Bachelors In mass MEdia ) blog…So, i dont have much idea on the same andd would not like to guide you in the wrong direction!!

     Lemme know if you need any help on BMM
     Thank you

273. Manish Dhanwani

     July 12th, 2009 at 1:09 pm

     273

     Hi aayushi…
     you really need to help yourself with securing somehere close to 80% to get into a good college like UPG and XAviers..Also then, you are not sure whether you will get into those colleges..Because colleges really need to have a failures or drop outs from the course for a seat to faLL VACANT…
     But normaly people dont fail in BMM. You really need to try hard ….So jst give your best shot ,Study Hard and then try searching for good colleges!!

     All the best

     Hi Nikhil…
     Congrats and I think this is too early to decide whether you should opt for JOURNalism or Advertising…Yes..Stay in touch with the faculty and start searching for internship right from FEB 2010….Till then Relax and ENJOY COLLEGE BMM LIFE!!

     Stay In touch and I shall help you out with your internship then..ok

277. Manish Dhanwani

     July 14th, 2009 at 5:35 pm

     277

     Hi Manjunath,
     No problem …for the spelling mistake…

     Well in case of 60 % I doubt that she will be able to get into any good college..But yes, if you are planning for a management quota seat, I think that you will have to pull out quite a lot of money for good colleges like xaviers,kc as these are very demanding colleges and are also top for BMM

     If you want to make her do bmm in a reasonably good college which is not too heavy on your pocket, then go in for colleges like UPG, MMK, NATIONALS

     These are very good options

     hiiii manish…
     first up…good job!!!
     i want to knw ki which college offer best campus placements??????
     plz do tell me sooon.

279. Manish Dhanwani

     July 16th, 2009 at 9:42 am

     279

     Hi Tanushree,

     in BMM only colleges like XAVIERS, JAI HIND, KC, SIES Nerul are the ones that you should look out for as far as campus placments are concerned…

     But one can better the chances for oneself and could improve its placements by applying independently of college!!

     Do keep me updated about your progress
