International Master in Business SDA Bocconi Asia Center, Mumbai

I am a first-year student of MISB BOCCONI. The college is situated in Mumbai, which gives it the locational advantage of being in the economical capital of India. The faculty comes directly from SDA Bocconi University, Italy, which justifies the name of an International Business School. The average salary is around 10.83 lakhs but you cannot rely on these numbers as the college is still on its early days. The college infrastructure is good and the student diversity is also very good as we have students from 18 different states. The fees are way too much at 19,80,000 plus the expenses for the semester abroad in Italy which is compulsory. The semester abroad will provide you with a diploma certificate from SDA BOCCONI UNIVERSITY in Milan, Italy for your specialisation in your specific field. The picture will get clearer after the placements of the current batch.

The college is located on one floor of the Hiranandani Knowledge park, in terms of Infrastructure measured in size, it has very little, however, if the quality of the facility is taken into account, then it can be considered top class. The college, having a location advantage of being in central Mumbai, covered by corporates, utilises this advantage, through the placement committee that frequently contacts companies for guest lectures, live projects, panel discussions, case study competitions and eventually for placements. College life is happening enough for me personally as the crowd is a fun one, and the small size of the campus increases socialization to a great extent. I am still pursuing the course and therefore haven't been placed yet, but the last batch was placed with an average placement package of 10 lPA. The college hostel provides all requisite facilities and has nothing lacking. The student crowd in the college is one with a great mix of work and life, there are students who have rejected offers from several other leading colleges in India to study at MISB Bocconi, the students are as much fun and outgoing as they are focused The Fees of the college is on the higher side, it cannot be termed affordable to comparable colleges, but the experience of an education from one of the world's leading management schools, without leaving the country, more than makes up for it.

The college offers a phenomenal international experience in India. The faculty in MISB is world class who fly all the way from Italy. There is a great exposure to industry experts through guest lectures and other events. The batch consists of people from around 18 states. The campus is not huge but this acts as an advantage as there are more chances of talking to your peers. The hostel though is average and could much be much better. It will get better with time. The fees are high as compared to other colleges but the experience in MISB is very good. Also, you get to complete one semester in Milan, Italy. Overall, It's an excellent experience.

The faculty is excellent in their respective fields. Best crowd to share the classroom with. The learning experience, the international exposure with the Milan specialization semester, the guest lectures, the clubs and competitions can overcome the feeling of not having a very big canteen and recreational area.

If interacting with your peers is really what you want then MISB is the best choice for you. It is open to students 24hrs, with free Wi-fi and AC in all classrooms, with a canteen and snack area. There are dedicated study areas too where you can go and burn the midnight oil. Located a stone’s throw from the heart of Powai, accessibility isn’t an issue. We have tie ups with the local Football Turf grounds, Powai Raquets Club etc and hold regular sporting events. On campus we have Table Tennis and Foosball tables. In addition to all this, we share a highly interactive relation with the Professors, both in and outside the classroom. Professors join us for Dinner and Lunch, and always stay in touch. A majority of the professors come from Bocconi University, Milan which is ranked as among the very best Universities in Europe and the World. Their approach to teaching is very hands-on, highly updated, with multiple case studies, and lots of interaction. All teaching material is accessed via a digital medium. The E-Learning platform is your one stop for everything you need academically. Reading material, case studies, slides are all uploaded here. Besides this, all professors start their first lecture by providing their personal Email IDs and Mobile Phone numbers. Emails usually get replied within 12hrs, and they are more than happy to talk to you. We also have a dean, Ex-IIM Professor Dr. Himanshu Rai who has been a strong pillar when it comes to giving Indian perspective to the learnings at MISB. We also have IIM professors coming down to Mumbai to teach us, essentially giving us the best of both worlds. In terms of our connections to companies and recruitments, The first batch had an average package of Rs 9.9LPA (which in my opinion is stunning for the very first batch of any B-School), which went to Rs 10.23LPA for the next batch and its expected to go further up. 
We have done live projects with the Aditya Birla Group, Future Group, Mahindra & Mahindra, 
ICICI and that's just my batch. Our summer internships consisted of companies like Coca-Cola, Vodafone, Loreal, Future Group, ICICI, Piaggio etc with stipends of upto Rs 60,000 pm. Some have even managed to get Pre-Placement Offers and Interviews. 
On top of all this, we have a mandatory exchange semester at Bocconi, Milan (September to December) where we get to experience a whole new world there. We interact with students from multiple nationalities, get to live alone in a new country, and visit surrounding countries there. That teaches you a lot about life, people and how things work in different ways. It has gone a long way to expand my horizon in what I want to do with my life and my career.
