Placement Experience

We are also provided with Development sector internships which gives the students direct exposure to focus on the issue at the grass root level and the experience that is required for the student to become sensible media professionals.Lat year our college recorded 89% placement record.Top notch companies such as BCCI , NDTV , Flipkart.com , Adfactors PR , CNN - IBN visited our campus and gave selected a pool of candidates.

Fee Structure And Facilities

The hostel fees for girls hostel is 1,14000 p.a if you have taken a double seater room. You need to deposit a security deposit amount of 15000 which is refundable.The mess charges are 64,500 and thus the total comes down to 1,96000 including the shuttle bus charges of 2500. The academic fees for my course is around 3,00,000 in which you need to deposit an additional amount of 20000 ( Center deposit) which is refundable. I consider this fees a little bit expensive .

Campus Life

At our college we are taken to field trips which are a key part of media learning experience . We are also taken to production locations , printing presses , film and recording studios etc. Vaividhya which is an annual intra college competition organised by the cultural club of our college so that the students can showcase their talent. Moreover IN TRUE SPIRITS is an sports event held every year in our college for a period of three days where the students participate in various activities like swimming , table tennis , football , volleyball etc.

Alumni/Alumna

We also have alumni relation cell in our college which keeps our symbiosis family close and connected to each other. This cell organises the annual alumni meet where our seniors tell us about their experiences with the industry , how much they find it difficult in their first place and many more. They guide us in how we should plan our goals.

Admission

In order to get admission in this college one needs to pass an entrance examination which is organised by the university.It is held on the first Saturday of May every year.In order to get shortlist for the second round you need to get a decent score in the test.You can apply via online mode and deposit a non refundable fee of 1750.After that you need to choose your course in which you want to seek admission in . Fill in the necessary details . If you have qualified in the second round you would be called by the college administration for the document verification and thus granted admission in the college.

Faculty

The faculty of our college are really experienced professionals . They all are Phd holders with an experience of 10+ years in media & communication.Our professor Mr. Francis Mathew give us valuable knowledge about how we should cope with the media industry , what are the needs of media professionals etc . The teaching style of each teacher is really very different and innovative . Overall all the teachers of my college are really supportive and helpful.

SDA Bocconi Asia Center, IMB ( International Masters in Business)
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.

Remarks:

College management is highly supportive of student needs. The management listens to student issues and tries to solve it with proper thinking and strategy. The college and the composition, though is extremely dynamic and diverse, students live together peacefully in harmony, supporting and helping each other whenever needed. Though being it's initial stages of setup, the college faces certain issues with placements and internships, but slowly with every batchs learnings, these are also being cured. This ensures that students are always on their toes and ready to take on challenges.
