Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

I am a law graduate but with time I realized, law ain't my cup of tea so got inclined towards corporate since I always wished to work in the corporate domain. Faculties are very encouraging and motivating. Most of the faculties at IBS Pune are Ph.D. holders and genius candidates, and a handful of them are IIM passes out too. Exams were mostly divided into 4 parts -C1, C2, C3, and C4. C1, C2, and C3 have 20% weightage where as C4 has 40% weightage. Exam level Mediocre. If you study, you score well.

Class Size: 66Course Fees: INR 800000 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

2 years of PGPM is 8 lakhs. And for 4 semesters, we have to pay 5 installments of 1,45,000 and also for the Summer Internship program. I got Internationally placed in a Real Estate firm known as Property Pistol. Domestic Salary is 8.64 LPA and international ( Dubai) is 23 LPA.

Campus Life

3.5

We have 1 annual fest that's held in December and that's ZEAL. And TEDx is held in September. We got provided with books and journals every semester. We have Sports Club, Nazaria the photography club, Synergy - HR club, Nucleus Marketing Club, Silver Tongue Club, Finance and Economic Club, and Research club.

Admission

Since ICFAI BUSINESS SCHOOL PUNE is a Deemed University, we had to appear for IBSAT Entrance. Then I cracked the entrance and got selected for the GDPI round where they asked us to speak on any topic for 20 mins. I chose the topic "Motivation" and got selected for the Pune campus.

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.
