Remarks

The Advanced Program in Banking and Finance (APBF) courses they provide are very contemporary in nature. Through these, we get to know the intricacies of the subject and get a chance to showcase our skills during the live project at the end of each APBF subject.

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

The faculties are very cordial and helpful. You can approach them regarding any doubts that you have, and they would be happy to help you out. The teaching methodology is simple yet effective. And since the number of students is less, it's easier to ensure everyone is on the same page, learnings wise.

Class Size: 30Course Fees: INR 250000 per year

Internships Opportunities

4.5

I was fortunate enough to intern at companies like Ernst and Young and IIFL Securities, wherein I got a chance to apply the theoretical knowledge to real-world scenarios. It was an immense learning experience.

Placement Experience

4.5

MBA in itself is a highly employable course. The college ensures that the students learn the subjects thoroughly before applying for Placements. Big brands like HDFC, ICICI, Axis, CRISIL, ITC, Byjus, etc come to campus for hiring freshers.

Fees and Financial Aid

The fee structure is quite reasonable. I find it completely justified for the value add Imperial has given. Internships and placements are lucrative too. I was fortunate enough to work with companies like Ernst and Young, IIFL Securities, Goldman Sachs.

Campus Life

Campus Life is great. It's a semi-remote location, so traffic and noises wouldn't be a problem. It's a quiet learning environment. They conduct iFest, an annual festival that is a blend of fun games, interactive competitions and a great socialising event overall.

Interview Experience

4.5

I had a PI round with the director at Imperial, wherein my communication skills and overall knowledge was tested. Post PI, there was a GD round where we were assigned a topic and we're told to discuss it amongst the students and come up with viable solutions.

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.

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.

Experience with Imperial

The fact which intrigued me the most about Imperial is their practical approch. They provide an MBA degree along with APBF certifications which bridges the gap between the traditional university curriculum and current market requirements. Also, the professors appointed here are subject to their area of expertise from reputed MNC brands like CRISIL, Credit suisse and so on. There are organizations like Morgan Stanley, Crisil, HDFC, Decathlon, Byjus etc. also approaching for placements with great profiles and handsome packages....Read More
