Remarks

As i see in the first year everything were perfect but after 1st semister picture started changing.

Entrance Preview

I gave C-MAT exam to get admission for MMS/MBA Degree, I got 85 percentile marks in C-MAT exam, I join this college because i heard that this college have excellent teaching staff.

Course Curriculum Overview

The 10-month MBA programme includes five periods, each lasting eight weeks. At the endof every period, there is an assessment (exam, essay or project) and a short break. The first half of the programme is built around 14 core courses, which provide you with a solid understanding of the key management disciplines.

Internships Opportunities

I did Internship in ASAHI INDIA GLASS LTD. this is glass manufacturing company, I did internship in this company for 2 months, i were working there without stipend.

Placement Experience

3.5

The placement opportunities coming in our college is not good, i am not satisfied with placement offers the are giving us very less packages because we are freshers.

College Events

College Organises many events in the college but for management students they celebrate only Traditional day, chocolate day, management events, and the aligria is the biggest event of my college.

Fee Structure And Facilities

I paid 3,70,000 Rupees for entire course 1,70,000 for 1st year and 1,70,000 for 2nd year. and 2500 Rupees for examination fees. Fee structure is not impressive they doesn't gives instalment facility to us.

Fees and Financial Aid

College did not give any lone facility to student scholarship is only for those students which are coming to college via cap round.

Campus Life

4.5

Campus life is very good, I attained many workshops in the college, i took participation in many cultural events over all campus life is very excellent.

Hostel Facilities

Hostel of our college is far away from the college, only girls hostel is near by to college mess food is good they gives many more options in food but the quality of food is not hygienic.

Alumni/Alumna

Our senior's were not interactive they never help us in studies. They were busy in there own life many times i tried to speak with my seniors but they gives reaction like i am disturbing him.

Exam Structure

Exam structure of my college is very nice they gives us marks as per students capability and the paper checking is very strict.

Faculty

4.5

The faculty of my college is very good, we also have visiting faculty for many subjects, and the visiting faculty also gives lot of knowledge about corporate world like how corporate world works.

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.

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.

Review for Pillai college of arts, commerce and science

I applied for SIES college of Navi Mumbai and also I got confirmation of admission in this college in 5th round but already in 3rd round my name came in pillai college. So I took pillai college and also it is near to me for travelling as compared to SIES college. Admission process is first of all we have to fill Mumbai University form online then we have to fill personal college form for selection of the course and the college form charge is 200rs, after the submission of form we have to wait for 1st,2nd,3rd list, their are only 3 list but in that also your name is not mentioned then you will get admission by donation. Also cut off for my course is 63%. And no other entrance exam we have to give. Admission process is good....Read More

For the candidate to be eligible for pursuing a BSc computer science degree from PCACS needs to have passed 12th with mathematics as one of the subjects in their HSC and should have secured above 60% in their HSC exam. Application forms have to be collected from the college office and while submitting the application form candidate have to submit their documents that are specified by the college, no application fees is there and we have to collect the application forms when the admission dates are released on PCACS official website and have to submit before the date given for form submission and wait for the merit list to be released and then the admission fees paying process starts. The overall admission process was very smooth but they could give out the admission forms on their official website as well for more enhanced and smooth process....Read More
