Entrance Preview

I had applied for MH-CET entrance exam and got 65%. I was told by my neighbor to opt out for this college which has good teaching faculty and very supportive staff. So considering my background education I applied for MMS-Operations course.

Course Curriculum Overview

The course curriculum offered was at apex for me and there was a good system in place considering the requirements of students. There was lot of gaining in terms of knowledge for me at the start of the curriculum.

Internships Opportunities

I did my internship with Hexaware technologies which is a well known brand now a days. There was no stipend provided by the firm but they provide the platform to work with them.

Placement Experience

Actually at the time of placements and job opportunity the market condition was very tough. We were offered by so many marketing companies but not with the core part of the education.

Fee Structure And Facilities

Comparing to other college the fees were feasible enough. For 1st year- 1.40 lacs and for 2nd year-1.83 lacks. Considering the facilities provided such as library and wifi and ac's.

Fees and Financial Aid

Yes, I got the scholarship from government from Economic Backward class quota and it was helped me a lot at that time.

Campus Life

4.5

The campus life was awesome at that point of time as there was no discrimination with respect to gender, call, etc. The staff was supportive enough in all the functions the only one thing was needed at that time leadership.

Alumni/Alumna

The college is maintaining the alumni directory since it incorporation. The seniors were also good as they refer their juniors in the firm where they work.

Exam Structure

The exams were tough enough for some subjects and the supervisors are strict enough. The schedule was good with time and suitability.

Faculty

The teaching faculty was excellent at the institute and I able to understand the basics of studies form this only. The faculty had vast experience in their respective domain knowledge which helps us to provide in depth knowledge.

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.
