Remarks

College management was good - would listen patiently if we had any queries or concerns. For example, the entire class was uncomfortable with one of the professors and when we raise the issue they sorted things and moved him out.

Entrance Preview

The college's own written entrance exam and personal interview. Score was not known - just that we were selected. Minimum first class in 10th, 12th and graduate course was expected as a base.

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

Interactive, informative, practical with lots of guest lectures. Gave a good hand at theory basics and allowed plenty of classroom practicals with real world examples.

Internships Opportunities

We did not have an internship via the college as this was a PG course. But some of the professors directly picked promising interns to work with them. Salary / stipend ranged from 2k-10k in 2003.

Placement Experience

4

95% of the batch had jobs before the course was complete. The remaining 5% had jobs in the next couple of months. Most people were placed as juniors in ad agencies. All applied independently, not via the college. Salary ranged from 2k-10k.

College Events

3

Malhar was the main fest where we did not actively participate but was celebrated by the college. This is an renown event with students from all colleges participating.

Fee Structure And Facilities

It was reasonable given it was over a decade ago. Am not sure how the fee is structured presently but we had to pay a lumpsum amount for the year - no break ups

Fees and Financial Aid

No, Neither was offered by the college at that time. Loans had to be taken independently if required.

Campus Life

3

Campus life was multi cultural. Gave lots of exposure to people from different backgrounds. Also gave access to people from the industry. I experienced no bias as such.

Alumni/Alumna

The alumni are very influential with most being well known names in the advertising industry. Think the college can introduce better efforts to bring alumni together on a yearly basis.

Exam Structure

Theory exams happened at the end of the year but we were graded all through the year for various assignments with a cumulative grade given at the end of the year. Assignments were constant and were for each professor and we had multiple professors in a month. It also included team assignments so we were on our toes mostly.

As we are in the 1st year of our college, I won't be able to answer this accurately. But, as far as what I've heard from the alumni and seniors, the average placement stats of this college is around 15LPA. The highest package may scale up to 30LPA.

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.
