Remarks

I choose to attend this college because my seniors suggested me because of my CAT score and also because of the discipline maintained here, I was called for the selection process on 15/03/2020 which consisted of Essay writing followed by a group discussion and then a Personal Interview. The only reason for preferring this college over others was its fees and ROI and I used www.youtube.com and www.collegedunia.com and www.shiksha.com while selecting this college.

Course Curriculum Overview

I choose this course because I wanted to go into the marketing field and want to be a brand manager. The faculty to student ratio is 1:60. Most of the faculty here is highly experienced and has PhD Degree and also there are two professors for each subject. The exams are conducted timely and it is moderately difficult to pass.

Course Fees: INR 445000 per year

Internships Opportunities

3.5

Companies like Asian Paints and Emmami come for interns offering stipend around 10-15K for Marketing, HR, Finance, and Operations as well. The projects are basically marketing the company using various techniques and achieving targets.

Placement Experience

After the 3rd-semester companies start coming in and I am still in the 1st semester so I don't have any idea about companies visiting or offers made. However, the highest package of 17lakhs was offered and the avg package is around 6 lakhs. Around 95% of students get placed and my plans after my degree is to join a big company as a brand manager

Fees and Financial Aid

The first year fees are divided into two parts first of 378000 and then 67000(without Hostel), there is no scholarship as such but they provide financial assistance by providing education loan since they have tie-ups with Bank of Baroda and Punjab National Bank and the companies keep coming in for internships providing a stipend of 15000(Emami) or more depending on the company.

Campus Life

I joined the college during Pandemic so I haven't Attended any fest up till now and as heard from my seniors there are thousands of books available in the library and there are sports and extracurricular activities like Drishti where there are games and competitions there is this page on Instagram SBUP mix ran by students

Interview Experience

4.5

Yes, I faced GD, PI, and essay writing and the topic of GD was are women good managers or men. In the PI there were questions related to my graduation and also questions related to politics and why Do I want to do an MBA and why not another course. For preparing for these rounds I read newspapers and revising important topics of graduation subjects and taking tips from my seniors.

College Review

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.

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.

I haven't availed of any quota for admission. Admission criteria are based on various factors such as competitive exam scores any competitive exam such as CAT/CMAT/XAT/MAHCET is applicable, Graduation marks and extracurricular activities also hold weightage, GDPI process is the final barrier for admission. On counselling days, teams will be made and three rounds of writing ability, GD, PI. There are no minimum age or marks criteria for applying....Read More

NielsenIQ - The internship forever to cherish

The college had three definite processes for selection. 1. Document Verification - We are asked to submit our documents and after getting verified we are allowed to go for further steps for selection - I was assigned with a topic to write. Post that the seniors helped us to go for GD 3. GD - The students were grouped in number 10. Firstly, each student was given a separate topic to talk about. Just like an extempore. So, I was given the topic of Swach Bharat's talk for a minute. And after the completion of each student's extempore, a common topic was given for group discussion. The group discussion went for around 35 minutes. 4. Personal Interview - My personal interview was taken by the director of BITM himself. Very basic as well as subject-related questions were asked along with the preference to choose the institute between 4 institutes. The seniors throughout the process helped us and were very quick in scheduling everything back to back with around 65 to 70 students on the same day....Read More
