Entrance Preview

All the students can get admission by being eligible for the course with minimum 50percent marks in class 10th, class 12th and graduation. Students from any stream in graduation can apply for the programme. A student also needs to submit the entrance marks of cat, mat, xat, snap etc. to be able to get the admission.

Internships Opportunities

All the students are placed in companies at the end of the second semester as an intern in the company.

The students will get extra credits at the end of the semester as per their performance in the internship, project and presentation.

Placement Experience

Students are encouraged to start their own ventures in the college itself and are offered any kind of help possible by the college. They are given help in advertising, human resources and helping them connect with the right investors and lawyers and also help them get their venture registered. The college act as an incubator for these ventures. Other students apply for the placements in the company as a regular process and the management keeps an active check on it too.

College Events

4.5

Apart from the major placement week event, the college organizes a lot of cultural, technical and management events for all the students. We were allowed to form our own team to take participate in the event and also were allowed to invite outsiders in the college. We were also given extra passes to invite our friends and family. The events were organized at a very large scale including a lot of resources and operations.

Campus Life

The campus has a very well-equipped auditorium with LED projectors and screens for panel discussions, conferences, meetings, seminars and gatherings. The college also has a meditation room where students can concentrate and work on harmonizing their mind and de-stress themselves. The canteen area provides the most vibrant atmosphere to students and encourage them to improve their interpersonal skills and enjoy the amazing food prepared by the amazing chefs hired by the college.

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.
