Course Curriculum Overview

5

Course curriculum is very rigorous. Insurance subjects are extras with the basic MBA subjects. Curriculum is well designed and you may have mostly a packed schedule. The course starts with ice breaking sessions, industry experts seminars and other things and we have a well designed orientation program for us as studeits very helpful in getting to know about what we are going to do in the next two years here at NIA. Teaching methods include presentations, case study discussions, informational videos, etc. Exams are every three months except the 3rd trimestwhich is the most hectic where exams are just in 2 months as we all head to start the internship. The curriculum prepares us very well from the basic insurance knowledge to the practical working in the industry what applies what skills are needed everything. Difficulty level is 'doable' its definitely tough managing the presentations, assignments and study but surely doable in the time we get. Its an amazing experience overall

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.
