SCMHRD, MBA, Human Resource Management

Remarks

I had a dream of doing an MBA in the HR field. When it comes to HR, SCHMRD is one of the best colleges in India. The only thing that I didn't like about SCMHRD is that the college has no proper campus for its students. The admission process was very smooth. In fact, I can say, the best process that I have ever attended. The admission process starts in November and it lasts till March.

Course Curriculum Overview

I had a keen interest in the HR field as I was really passionate about this profession. The faculties are really good and well experienced which helps us in retaining the concepts. The faculties give more emphasis on practical application rather than theoretical knowledge. The faculty to student ratio will be 1:10. SCMHRD follows a semester system.

Course Fees: INR 21 per year

Internships Opportunities

4.5

The companies that are visiting the campus are reputed ones. The kind of companies coming to the campus is very diverse like fmcgs, consulting, it and finance companies. The roles also vary depending upon the type of projects one person gets.

Placement Experience

The placement scenario is good only in SCMHRD. From the 3rd sem onwards the students are eligible for the placement process, The other details can not be revealed by me because of confidentiality. Almost 100 percent placement every year,

Fees and Financial Aid

The fees of the college have increased by more than 20 percent as compared to 2019. As compared to the fee structure, the facilities are not sufficient. But I would say it's worth paying 21.37 lakhs. As MBA is not about what you will be after 2 years, it is all about where you will be after 10 years. The placement scenario is good and it can be compared with other b-school colleges. I am not supposed to reveal where I am placed.

Campus Life

Yet to join the campus. Thanks to Corona. But I heard from the seniors that the campus life is very good and all the basic infrastructures are there on the campus. SCMHRD has a very good and diverse library.

Hostel Facilities

Yet to experience. But the hearsays that I have heard from our seniors are good only. The meals, rooms and the common hall is well enough to spend times. The registration process for the hostel is very smooth.

Hostel Fee: INR 70000 per year

Interview Experience

Yeah, there was a group exercise and a written ability test before PI. In WAT, we had been provided with a current affair topic and in GE, we had been provided a topic to have a discussion about and to come up with a conclusion. Self-preparation for the process.

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.

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.
