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.

SIES accepts CET, CAT, ATMA, CMAT, etc entrances for the PGDM Course. The admission process consists of 3 levels that include a WAT, GD & PI. The shortlist is displayed around the month of May. This is a very smooth and systematic process....Read More

SIESCOMS never leaves your hand.

SIESCOMS was a life-changing experience for me. It helped me transform myself. It made me a better version of myself. Personally, it helped me gain more confidence and overcome my fears. I had stage fright and SIESCOMS gave me an opportunity to overcome this in a better way than I had imagined. Professionally it helped me grow and learn many more things I wasn't even aware of. The faculty plays an important role in transforming you. Giving opportunities in every single path you choose. In SIESCOMS the placement cell will guide you and hold your hand till the time you get placed in your dream company. I have been placed in Ernst and Young which is one of the Big 4 as a consultant. SIESCOMS even during the pandemic did not step back for helping students get placed in their dream companies. It was a privilege to be an MBA student in SIESCOMS....Read More
