Entrance Preview

I had appeared for both, MH CET and CAT. Through my scores and previous academic background, I was eligible for this college. The application process takes place on website. Later on, I was selected through the interview and group discussion round.

Course Curriculum Overview

My interest is in finance. I found the courses to be adequately challenging and satisfying. The program is quite robust.

Placement Experience

The college campus placements are not very strong and not everyone gets a job through placements. I found my job on my own.

College Events

3.5

The college arranges extracurricular events very regularly to give students activities apart from academics. The initiatives were very good. We sometimes also had companies come and organize career-oriented events for us.

Fee Structure And Facilities

The fees are quite reasonable at INR 33000 PER YEAR.

Fees and Financial Aid

I had applied for a scholarship but I was not selected.

Campus Life

Campus life is good. We get to meet students from all over India but mostly from Maharashtra.

Hostel Facilities

I live in Pune. So it would take me 1 ½ hours to reach college. It is advisable to take hostel facility if one does not have a private vehicle.

External Expense: Rs.7000 - Rs.10000

Exam Structure

The exams are conducted in a semester pattern and results are declared at the beginning of the next semester. The college is quite strict about attendance requirements.

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.
