Remarks

You can apply through your MAT, CAT, NMAT, MHCET score. Admission process was smooth and administrative department was very helpful throughout the process. They also help you in attaining loan for the course.

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

Exams were on and there was never a delay in it. Infact the results were also on time even during the COVID-19 phase. Difficulty level was 8/10 for the exam but it wasn't something that you haven't been taught already.

Class Size: 60Course Fees: INR 350000 per year

Internships Opportunities

Throughout the course different companies come for live projects and internship opportunities but not all offer stipends. These are great opportunities for learning and sharpening your skills to help you.

Placement Experience

3.5

Students are eligible for campus placement from the starting of second semester itself and it totally depends on the requirements of company coming. But companies start coming at end of second semester.

Fees and Financial Aid

Cost to study in nothing that hasn't been already discussed in the brochure of the college. There was no on campus with stipend and honestly i don't think it was possible to do a job with kind of schedule college gives

Campus Life

College has all types of clubs, E-cell, Finance club, Marketing Club, Sports Club, Alumni Cell, Placement cell, CSR Club, Cultural Club which all were run by students under supervision of a faculty or a guest faculty

Hostel Facilities

Rooms pretty basic with a washroom attached. Room has amenities like a bed with a mattress, cupboard, study table, chair and a shoe rack. Rooms were cleaned everyday and locality was really good with everything available nearby.

Hostel Fee: INR 80000 per year

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.

But when I checked into this college I was accepted and got my interview scheduled by filling a form on the college website and later on got admission. Exams the college considers for admission are CAT, XAT, MAT, CMAT, CET etc....Read More
