What Students Say

Likes

Crowd is from diverse backgrounds and smart. Overall the crowd is nice
Curriculum is well designed and they have a stable timetable for both years
All the professors have phD degree and have relevant experience in their field.

Dislikes

75% attendance is mandetory. Even if you're sick, you have to submit your medical certificate.
Placements are a bit disappointing according to the fees paid.
Fees charged for 2 years is too high when compared to same category colleges.

Course Curriculum Overview

The course curriculum is fine but some irrelevant topics are also taught. Apart from that alot of field visits and industrial visits are also organised by faculties. Some masterclass are also organised where skill development is possible.

Class Size: 60Course Fees: INR 1000000 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

Total fees for the course is 20 lakhs for 2 years. Year wise fee is 10 lakhs. Reservation fees is unknown but they do have provisions for reserved category. Scholarships upto 16 lakhs is available for grabbing which, in our batch was given to only 2 students with excellent profile.

Campus Life

Infrastructure is great when compared to the colleges of same tier. It is the only college in this tier which provides the Bloomberg lab. Sports and extracurricular activities are also given very much importance.

Admission

The admission process was just like other colleges. I appeared for CAT and then received a call for the interview. Once the interview was done, I was selected as per the merit list. As for the comparison, location played a major part in my selection as I'm from Mumbai.

Faculty

Faculties are all very approachable and helpful whenever needed. Faculty ratio is 1:10 and all of them are friendly. Exams are pretty easy to handle and teachers usually help with the doubts. Total 6 exams are there in 2 years.

Night Life

A lot of places to hangout are there near the college as it is in the heart of Mumbai. Various clubs, gyms, cafeteria, food joints are available. The campus is pretty big and beautiful so the nightlife is kind of good but not top notch.

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.
