Remarks

My journey in this college was the best as I was able to avail all the necessary information as well as I was able to gather knowledge from the premise. Apart from this, the college helped me to know and understand the managerial program in full depth.

Course Curriculum Overview

I studied various subjects related to management and leadership related programs. Apart from this, the college also made us learn various subjects as well as points to study like Managerial accounting, Marketing management, etc.

Placement Experience

As for the placement is concerned the companies with good names were invited. Companies like HCL, Accenture, Cognizant as well as Capgemini came to the premise for the placement and recruitment procedure.

Fee Structure And Facilities

The fee structure for the commencement of PGPM cost me around Rs 800,000/-. This was the total fee amount I paid. And per yearly my fee was approximately Rs 400,500/-. The fees were affordable and I was able to foster a good education with this much amount.

Campus Life

4.5

I use to participate in various sports-related activities as we had a sports center and also a proper swimming pool on our campus in order to get some relaxation time. Apart from this, we were also encouraged to take part in various debates and quiz competitions.

Alumni/Alumna

I am enrolled in this alumni section and in this I was able to fetch knowledge as well as updates about ongoing events, workshops, and seminars. Even I was able to fetch information regarding ongoing current openings and competitive exams. Along with this, I was able to reconnect with many of my friends and seniors.

Admission

I took admission in this college right after completing my graduation in the field of management. By giving this NMAT and securing 70 percentile I was able to get enrolled in this college to pursue a full-time PGPM course.

Placement Experience:

Students are eligible for campus placements from starting of the second year. The placements commence then and continue till everyone is placed. Being a young college, the placements are improving on a yearly basis with new companies being onboarded. The average package stands around 12-13LPA.

Reviewed on May 3, 2020

Remarks:

I had honestly applied in only a selected number of colleges, as I was doing really well in my coaching and was always among the top 2. Since, I was expecting a lot from myself, it created performance pressure and I went blank during the actual CAT examination. So SDA bocconi was among the top 2 options that I had. It is less than a decade old and has still managed to provide good placements. The most fascinating part is the entire semester in Bocconi,Milan which is the 21st best college in the world and 7th in Europe. I also spoke to many aluminis and hardly got to hear anything that will stop me from taking admission in SDA bocconi. Plus, the advantage of the college being in a city like Mumbai has it's own advantages.
