Remarks

Mah-cet, there is not any cut-off as such, but you will have to give a personal interview for admission. The interview was telephonic for our batch because of the pandemic. The interview will be taken by an experienced faculty.

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

I chose this course because with MBA we have also studied Advance programs in banking and finance in our curriculum. This includes courses such as mutual funds, banking operations, financial markets, forex and treasury, credit risk management, credit research, and insurance management. Faculties teaching all these courses have a minimum of 10 years of experience in the industry.

Class Size: 18Course Fees: INR 470000 per year

Internships Opportunities

4.5

Companies such as burger paints, credit, and shoppers stop coming with internship opportunities with banks such as axis bank, bank of Maharashtra, cosmos bank, and Canara bank. They hire interns according to the projects done by students in APBF & APM.

Placement Experience

From the 3rd semester onwards final placements start. Companies like Jp morgan, morgan Stanley, bcc, hdfc ltd, hdfc AMC, off comes for final placements for finance students and companies like reliance digital, decathlon, IndiaMart, just comes for marketing students.

Fees and Financial Aid

The fee for our batch was 470000. 200000 for Mba and 270000 for advanced courses respectively. Scholarships are given as per the eligibility criteria by the university. Also, we have opportunities for private scholarships such as Forster. I got placed with AU Small Finance Bank as a relationship officer with 5.5 LPA + 1.5L incentives quarterly.

Campus Life

4.5

Life at the campus is very good. We celebrated each festival on our campus. Freshers party is also given every year. The college organizes treks every year with different locations. We have cricket ground, table tennis, badminton, carrom, chess on our campus

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
