Entrance Preview

IBSAT, Its an objective online exam where there is no negative marking and your individual score does not matter much. Score of IBSAT matters only with the score of GD& PI.

Course Curriculum Overview

0.5

In my opinion course in not at all research orientated its just not at all focused on learning. Its same old concept read,learn and write papers. Curriculum does not include anything addition its mostly everything you have cover in your graduation. They do have vast curriculum with good subjects.

Internships Opportunities

Yes, they provide internship and generally stipend is on an average 5k per month on average. I did not sit foe college campus for internship because i managed it my own.

Exam Structure

Exam structure is divided as follows for every semester . You'll have pre mid terms internals of 20 marks than u will have mid terms of 50 marks which will be rationalised into 20 marks i.e. your final score will be from 20 marks.

Admission

On my tuition centre one person visited from IBS sales office , he briefed us all about IBS. After that i purchased the form and than gave the IBSAT test(which is just a formality literally they call everyone for selection process). After that I went to hyderabad campus of IBS for my selection process which includes G.D. followed by P.I.

Faculty

0.5

Faculties are qualified have good experience on their cv's but literally most of them do not even know how to teach MBA students. They are just like school teachers, they come provide their 30 sessions cover the syllabus take your internals and they are done.

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.

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.
