WeSchool PGDM Seats and Intake
The flagship PGDM has 180 seats and the Mumbai campus takes 720 students across all its PGDM courses. The other courses have their own seats, so a call for one does not mean a seat in another. A large batch also means the placement week is long, and the last students wait the longest.

WeSchool PGDM Hostel and Campus
A hostel room costs INR 1.60 Lakhs to INR 2.20 Lakhs a year and is not part of the course fee. The rooms are about 2 km from the Matunga campus and you take one only if you want it. A deposit of INR 10,000 comes back when you leave. The campus is on the central line, so travel across Mumbai is short.

Should you pick PGDM at WeSchool?
This course suits students who want a management job in Mumbai and are ready for a large batch and a high fee.
Pick it if:
You want an IT or analytics job: more than half of the last batch went to IT companies, and Accenture made the largest single set of offers.
You want to study in central Mumbai: the campus is at Matunga, so the firms that hire here are a short train ride away.
You need to pay the fee in parts: it is taken in two yearly parts, not once, so nothing is due all at one time.
You have a CMAT or ATMA score, not CAT: WeSchool reads five exams, so one weak CAT day does not end your chance here.
Skip it if:
You are counting on a top offer: the batch is large, so the average pay sits far below the highest offer and the last students wait longest.
You want a marketing or finance role above all: IT roles took most of the last batch, and finance and consulting took about a tenth each.
You want a room on campus: there is no hostel on the campus itself, so you take a room about 2 km away or rent nearby.
You will send only a score below the published cutoff: the shortlist starts at the cutoff, so a lower score gets no call.
Counsellor's advice
If your percentile clears the cutoff and you want an IT or analytics job in Mumbai, take this seat. If you are paying the full fee yourself, ask the fee office about the waiver before you pay the first part.

K J Somaiya pays more and places more of its batch, but the fee is higher. If both call you, take K J Somaiya; if only WeSchool does, take this seat and do not wait.
In short
N. L. Dalmia charges more for about the same average pay, and it sits at Mira Road, not central Mumbai. If the travel and the fee matter to you, take this seat.
In short
Chetana's costs much less but its average pay is far lower. If money is the tightest part of your plan, Chetana's is the safer spend; if pay is, take this seat.
In short
SIESCOMS is cheaper and places its whole batch, but its average pay is the lowest here. If you cannot fund the WeSchool fee, list SIESCOMS first; if you can, this seat pays back faster.
Fees and pay can change. Check each college site before you decide.
