Akemi Business School Pune, MBA International Business

Entrance Preview

The college takes online applications for admissions. I applied through the online portal. I had passed my CAT and got admission on the basis of my CAT score and then the performance on the GD/PI conducted by Akemi Business School.

Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

I am studying International Business. I have found the course to give a good academic foundation in my areas of interest namely, supply chain management, logistics, retail and operations in International Business.

Internships Opportunities

I am currently looking for internships in supply chain Management, logistics, retail and operations related to International Business. We have to find our internships on our own for summer training.

Placement Experience

The placements profile of the college has not looked very good although many of our seniors managed to find good jobs on their own.

Fees and Financial Aid

Since I am not from Maharashtra, I was not eligible for the scholarship.

Campus Life

Campus life is good. The place is a little far from Pune and hence we don't get to enjoy city life much. Apart from that, there is a good mix of people from across India and locals on the campus.

Hostel Facilities

I live in the boys' hostel. The hostel facilities are clean and up-to-the-mark.

External Expense: Rs.10000 - Rs.15000

Exam Structure

The MBA program follows a semester wise pattern of exams.

Faculty

3.5

Faculty members are satisfactory. Mostly we have visiting staff members for lectures. We have a lot of industry professionals visiting us every month.

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.
