Admission: Experience applying here felt streamlined because the online portal was easy to use, interview schedule communication was prompt, document verification happened quickly, explanations were clear, and the onboarding process including orientation was well organized.
Academic: At SDABAC, the course curriculum is really excellent and super practical. They teach us using lots of case studies, class discussions, and assignments, both inside and outside the class. What's even better is our faculty members. They are internationally known and come directly from the main campus in Milan. These professors are top-class, having taught at big universities like Harvard and INSEAD, making them true global experts.
Placement: From my experience in Bocconi's IMB program (2019-21 batch), what stands out is the amazing diversity. We have students not just from common fields like management, commerce, and engineering, but also from health sciences, arts, psychology, acting, and design. This mix really helps in getting different ideas and makes learning much better. When it comes to placements and internships, our records are really good, especially since the school is quite new, less than a decade old. This year, 2019, big companies like AB InBev, Luxottica, ICICI Bank, PWC, and Deloitte took students for summer internships, and the process is still going on. Plus, many seniors got pre-placement offers (PPOs) from a lot of companies with very good salary packages.
Campus: The campus facilities here are top-notch. Our college has super good infrastructure that totally meets what students need. The classrooms are even designed like the fancy Bocconi ones in Italy, which makes studying here a really good experience. We also have a great canteen for food and drinks. There is a library and Wi-Fi too, and a recreation room where we can play table tennis or Fussball. Plus, the campus is open 24/7, so we can study whenever we feel like it.

Admission: Transition through the SDA Bocconi Asia Center admission stages went smoothly, as the portal was easy to navigate, interview schedule updates were timely, document verification and registration were efficient, and staff support remained strong.
Academic: The teachers here are really good, you know. Most of them, like 90%, have a PhD, and they know a lot because they have many years of experience in their field. Some even worked in companies before joining college. We don't just have exams; we also do group projects and presentations. Plus, we get a lot of guest lectures. Big people from top companies come regularly, like two times a week, to share their real-world experiences with us.
Placement: At SDA Bocconi Asia Center, students get lots of placement chances. The average package was INR 11.3 LPA this year, which is better than last year's INR 10 LPA. So, placements are getting better and better every year, and the college has only been around for 6 years. Big companies like Future Group, KPMG, Deloitte, and Ernst and Young hire from here. The career development service team and the placement committee work closely. They make sure every student gets good live projects and summer internships. This really helps freshers build a strong profile and get much better jobs.
Campus: Our college, SDA Bocconi Asia Center, is located in a prime spot in Mumbai, in Hiranandani Knowledge Park, Powai. It's a one-floor building with all the facilities we need. We have big classrooms, a library, a canteen, and a nice lobby inside. The best thing is, the college is open 24*7 for students to use.

Admission: Journey at SDA Bocconi Asia Center remained smooth throughout, with clearly communicated timelines for interviews and merit list publication, efficient document verification, and a seamless onboarding process leading up to orientation with good support.
Academic: From my experience here, the teachers are really awesome, like I can't even express how good they are. They are super experienced and even fly in from the main university in Italy just to teach us. The course structure is very well-planned, it has a good balance of theory and practical stuff, which makes studying really interesting. Also, SDA Bocconi Asia Center really helps us students to grow and get ready for jobs in the industry.
Placement: From my experience, SDA Bocconi Asia Center in Mumbai is a really good place for studies. I'm currently in my first year here, doing the International Masters in Business program. This college is actually the only campus outside Italy for the famous SDA Bocconi University, Milan, which is ranked 21st globally. For placements, it's quite good; almost 99 percent of students got jobs through the college, and the remaining 1 percent found their own. Same thing for internships too. My batch has around 147 students, and the seniors batch has about 85 students. Big companies like Deloitte, EY, ICICI, Vodafone, KPMG, and Nykaa come here to recruit. The salary packages are also decent; the highest was 21 Lacs, the average was 11 Lacs, and the lowest was 9 Lacs.
Campus: The campus here, even though it's just one floor, is super comfy and has everything a student would ever need. It's really amazing how they fit high-tech classrooms, a friendly cafeteria, study areas, a peaceful library, a play zone, discussion rooms, and free Wi-Fi all onto that single floor. Our hostel also feels like a true home away from home, not just a place to stay. You get all the good facilities there, like laundry, housekeeping, a refrigerator, AC, and a kitchen. Most importantly, it's very highly secured too.

Admission: Admission at SDA Bocconi Asia Center was systematic, with a clearly outlined application process, prompt communication, thorough interviews, efficient post selection document verification, and supportive guidance during registration and onboarding.
Academic: About the teachers in our college, most of them have their PhDs in what they teach, and they come with lots of work experience from different countries. Our faculty is really good and super knowledgeable, plus they are easy to talk to. The only thing is, these teachers usually stay in India for just two weeks to finish their course, then they fly back to Italy. But no worries, you can still reach out to them on Skype later if you have questions.
Placement: Good companies always come to Bocconi for hiring. We see big names like Hindustan Unilever, ICICI bank, Moneycontrol, Michael Page, TCS, Nykaa, H&M, EY, Reliance, and Vodafone on campus. Bocconi makes sure all students get placed, whether it's for final jobs, summer internships, or even live projects. For the class of 2018, the average salary was 9.84 LPA, and the median was 9 LPA.
Campus: The infrastructure at our college is pretty good, though it's just a single floor building overall. The classrooms are quite big and spacious, which is a plus. But seriously, the cafeteria gets super crowded and congested all the time. For hostels, the one Bocconi allots to girls, named Trinity, is really good. However, the boys' hostel, MTNL, is not as great. They often have problems with the elevator there and even the water cooler breaks down sometimes. Still, apart from these small issues, it is mostly fine.

Admission: Clarity in the SDA Bocconi Asia Center admission process stood out, with an easy application form, quick interview scheduling, timely communication, hassle free document verification, and a simple registration experience overall.
Academic: About our teachers, they are super qualified and really helpful. A lot of them are Italian professors and actually come from the main Bocconi campus, SDA Bocconi School of Management in Milan. They only stay here for like 2-3 weeks.
Placement: Talking about SDA Bocconi Asia center, the placements are really good, they always get 100 percent placement. Last year, the highest domestic salary was INR 24 LPA and the average package was INR 11.3 LPA. Big names like Baxter, Capiot, Ferrero India, Fiat automobile, EY, H&M, Moneycontrol, and Piaggio were some of the companies that hired. For finance people, roles like Credit Risk Manager, Financial Risk Manager, and Equity Analyst were offered.
Campus: From my experience, our college is actually just a one-floor building, it doesn't really have a big campus. The library here is quite spacious, and it's open all the time, 24 hours, so you can easily study there even at night. The only downside is it has few books. Our classrooms are pretty big, they can seat up to 100 students, though usually, there are only about 80 students in a class. On the other hand, the cafeteria is super small, hardly 10 people can sit in the canteen at one time.

Admission: Phase of admission at SDA Bocconi Asia Center was efficient, with clear communication from application to merit list, thorough but manageable document verification, simple registration guided by the admissions team, and a helpful orientation program.
Academic: Our regular teachers here are very experienced, they all have minimum 15 years of experience in their subjects. And the teachers who come from Milan are also super good. Like, 80% of these visiting teachers also work professionally and teach at Bocconi, so they always know what's new in the market.

The average salary package at Bocconi is usually above INR 11 LPA. Lots of students even get a pre-placement offer right after finishing their internship.
Campus: The infrastructure at SDA Bocconi Asia Center is not like other private B-schools. It's actually all on one floor. Inside, we have a big reception area, a few classrooms designed in Italian style, a reading hall, a cafeteria, and also an activity room. But yeah, there's no playground at our college. And about the hostel, the MTNL one that Bocconi offers, it sometimes has issues with the lift.

Admission: Structure of admission at SDA Bocconi Asia Center felt organized, with a straightforward online application, prompt updates on interview dates and offer letter, helpful staff during a slightly long verification day, and a smooth shift from applicant to student.
Academic: I really like about Bocconi is how good our faculty is. The teachers here are super qualified, having both teaching experience and real-world company experience. Our curriculum follows a trimester system. In the first year, everyone takes the same subjects. Then, in the second year, we can choose our specialization once we've gotten a general idea of all the options during the first year.
Placement: At SDA Bocconi Asia Center, you can pick from many specializations like Finance, Sales & Marketing, Human Resource, Operations, Consulting, and Analytics. The best part is, placements are 100% here. The average salary package is around 11.27 LPA, and for the last batch, someone got a 24 LPA offer, which was the highest in India. Many big companies like Vodafone India, EY, Deloitte, KPMG, ICICI Bank, Nykaa, and Michael Page come to recruit. Our college's Placement cell also works very closely with the CDS team. They help everyone get a good summer internship, and last year the average stipend for summer internships was 36,000 rupees.

The classrooms are designed well and feel spacious. The best part is the college is open 24/7 for students. They also have hostel facilities, which is just a short walk from the college. The hostel rooms are fully furnished, and they even provide cleaning service there.

Admission: Route into SDA Bocconi Asia Center was efficient, as the application portal functioned well, interviews were professional, the offer letter arrived quickly, document verification was smooth, staff were supportive, and orientation simplified registration.
Academic: Teachers are all visiting professors who come all the way from Milan, Italy, from the famous Bocconi School of Management, and they are super good at what they teach. The course syllabus is very relevant for today's world, and it also covers future needs, so we are well prepared for the industry. Exams here are quite tough because they are not direct questions. You really need to use your brain, think critically, and understand the subject properly to pass. I guess the pass percentage is around 82%, but I'm not totally sure about that number.
Placement: Let's talk about placements. My seniors, who are going through their placements right now, told me that around 60% of their batch has already gotten jobs. They expect about 80% to be placed by the end of the whole placement process. This is a big deal, especially with how the economy is, since even top-level colleges are struggling with placements. The highest salary package offered was about 24 LPA, while the lowest was around 9 to 10 LPA. On average, students are getting around 14 LPA. Big companies like HCL Technologies and Dell Technologies came for recruitment. For my own batch, 70% of us have already secured internships. Top companies like Gartner, Nomura, and L'Oréal offered these internships. Most of the good roles offered were in the marketing area.
Campus: In our college, the infrastructure is really top-notch. They have all the latest tech and good quality furniture, plus super fast Wi-Fi that works 24 hours a day on campus. The hostel is also amazing. It has a common conference room where students can hang out and just relax. The food could be better, but that's pretty normal for almost all hostels. And there's also an open garden where we can play any game we feel like.

Also, big people from companies like Nestle, Deloitte, Reliance, and Goldman Sachs come often to give us talks and sessions.

We see many different companies coming to campus for jobs, from sectors like consulting, retail, banking (BFSI), FMCG/FMCD, sales and marketing, Fintech, and more. Big companies like HUL, ICICI, Michael Page, and Future Group have all visited our campus before to hire students.
Campus: Our college might be just one floor, but it's in a really good place in Mumbai, at Hiranandani Knowledge Park, Powai. This location is a big plus because Mumbai is a business hub, so we get amazing corporate exposure. Even with just one floor, they made sure we have all the important stuff: classrooms, a library, a canteen, an indoor sports room, and a lobby. What's also cool is that the college stays open 24x7, which is super helpful for students who need to study till late night.
