Entrance Preview

You can connect with the college's management committee anytime during the admission process and get your any kind of doubts cleared. The academic committee of the college asked me the eligibility before filling the application form and paying the application fees. The college has a very different pattern/separate entrance exam for this course but a student can get admission by submitting their other entrance scores such as MAT, CMAT, CAT, CET, ATMA etc.

Placement Experience

3.5

The aim of the college is just not to fulfill their work and get you a normal job opportunity but they are focused on building the careers of all the students of the college. Placements are the most integral and important part of the curriculum and it shows the capability of the college to provide opportunities to their students and they act as a deciding factor for a lot of students across the country. Famous recruiters for placements are Axis bank, LIC, Reliance Jio, Nissan, HDFC bank etc.

College Events

4.5

The primary aim of the event is to bring together students of all the nearby colleges who are pursuing this course, under one roof and promote a healthy culture of exchanging thoughts and ideas. There are a lot of events organized by the management coordinators in this college. This helps in understanding culture of different backgrounds students pursuing same course in different colleges.

Fee Structure And Facilities

The fees structure of the college is very similar in comparison to other colleges. Its very affordable and one can find it very easy to make the payments of fees to the college. The college administration department has introduced a lot of flexible plans for all the students to make the payments and especially for the backward / reserved sections of the society so that they are encouraged to join the college and pursue higher studies. This helps economy to get more and more professionals.

Faculty

The teachers are very humble and kind towards students and are always available to help them and understand the issues they are having. The teachers of this college are very much experienced and has an immense knowledge about course related as well as other qualification. They have teachers from all parts of the world having diversified experience and pool of knowledge, giving a lot of practical and reality based examples to all the students of the college.

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.
