Remarks

The process for admission begins on 5th May. I consulted with the seniors before taking admission. I also refer Collegedunia and also Sikhsha.com before taking admission. The reason for choosing this college is that the ROI of the college is very good. For admission, we gave GDPI in IBS Hyderabad.

Course Curriculum Overview

There is a total of 1500 students. There are 25 faculties. The faculties are very educated and well qualified. In case of any doubts or clarification, they help us to solve them. The faculties are very lenient. The exams were held at the end of Nov. The exam pattern was mainly on case study i.e Practical based.

Class Size: 66Course Fees: INR 800000 per year

Internships Opportunities

3.5

The companies like Linde, lnt, fgli, iifl, etc came to this yr. Mainly for marketing, the companies came. Many FMCG and banking competition always came. The companies don't give stipend very rare companies offer a stipend. Mostly on the basis of the performance they give.

Placement Experience

From sem 3 the students are eligible for campus placement. Companies like jp Morgan, Nestle, Amul, iifl comes. They offered 7,00,000 as average and 14,00,000 was the highest. The lowest was 2,00,000. 95% of the students were placed. I want to work with FMCG companies. This is my dreams and hopes it will come true.

Fees and Financial Aid

There is a total of 5 instalments. Each instalment consists of 1,44,000. And 10,000 as a deposit. The scholarship is also given to the students who get above 7.5 cgpa. The student getting more than 8.5 will get approx of 5000. I am currently pursuing MBA so I don't have an idea about the job but for a sip, many compies companies came.

Campus Life

There are many clubs in Mumbai. Many clubs organize. There are many journals and books available inter the library. The sports ground is also very big. There are many sports evening took place like basketball, tennis etc. The classroom is well equipped. AC is present in each and every class.

Interview Experience

Yes, we went to IBS Hyderabad for the interview process. They tool GDPI. The topics were pretty easy. Mostly they ask on GK ques. The process was very smooth. I had done my preparation by reading newspaper and articles and keep me updated with the trending news.

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.
