SDA has a campus in powai, and the infrastructure feels very premium and corporate like. The classrooms are mpdern , and equipped with good technology. The campus has a T- floor and a library for students.
The IMB program is academically intense and focuses heavily on case study , ppts and group projects. One of the biggest advantages is learning from international professors visiting from Milan. The curriculum is more practical and global.

The academics of the college is really nice while inviting professors directly from Italy with deep knowledge of the respective subjects and design of the whole curriculum is also very structured covering all key subjects and topics required by any management graduate which is also making students job ready and prepared for the real world challenges in their respective companies.
College provides good and diverse opportunities in BFSI, marketing, sales, business technology and consulting. The college has a avergae package of around 15 LPA and highest package goes upto around 36 LPA. ROI is debatable because people feel that is not upto that mark as compared to top B-schools.
The ROI is not upto that mark as compared to top B-schools, batch size has increased which can affect the competition for top roles, but this college is better than many tier-2 colleges with decent corporate placements.
It is a corporate style modern business school rather than huge residential university campus, students work together in various business competitions and clubs like BTC, finance, consulting, sales and marketing.
The college is really nice with modern facilities and good teachers with deep knowledge in their respective fields and a good track record of the college in the placements in various companies across all domains.
The campus is located in the Powai, Mumbai just opposite to the Hiranandani hospital. The campus has all the facilities required. It has a canteen , a playing area, a library etc. The college conducts guest lectures regularly and recently organised a leadership summit too.
The IMB course is one of the main programs that SDA Bocconi Asia Center offers. It is an International degree in Business. And 90% of the faculty members are foreigners (mostly Italian). The teaching method is case based with emphasis on practical application of concepts in real life business problems.
The placement numbers are good and improving every year. The roles coming are mainly marketing, consulting, BFSI , analytics etc. The avg package is a around 14-15 LPA and the highest package is around 36 LPA.
Located at Powai at a prime location. good services provided. has a library, recreational area, canteen facilities. Canteen facility is available on paid. 2 floors. entire campus is well maintained, air conditioned. Wi-Fi available.
Include all major specializations. Professors flow down from Italy to teach. Highly educated and capable faculty. A complete 5/5 in terms education. provided a wide option of subjects as electives. Good course structure.
Average placements are around 14lpa. The new CDS team seems to be working quite well, and the placement situation might improve soon. Highest placement went up to 28-30lpa. Constant L&D sessions are provided to prepare the students for placements.
ROI is too low. Expense is too high due to the milan semester and usual college fees.
SDA Bocconi Asia Centre doesn't have a traditional college campus, but the facilities within the institute are decent and functional. Classrooms are well organised, library has adequate resources, and Wi-Fi connectivity is reasonably good. Living arrangements and food options in the surrounding area are clean and manageable for day-to-day student life.
Pursuing management studies at SDA Bocconi Asia Centre has been a good experience overall. The faculty is international and brings rich domain expertise to every session, making learning, genuinely insightful and globally relevant.

The placement process at SDA Bocconi Asia Centre is decent. Some reputed companies to visit for campus drives and reasonable percentage of students get placed. The average packages are decent and the placement cell is supportive.
The college is right in Powai, the heart of Mumbai , one of the city posh areas. While its an expensive neighborhood, the campus feels modern and professional. With centralized AC and all needed amenities, it gives you a real taste of steeping into the corporate world
The college academics are excellent, with 95% of the professors coming from Italy. This global exposure helps students prepare for the corporate world. All major MBA subjects are covered, and live projects opportunities make students highly proficient and industry ready.
Placements are as promised on the website, especially strong for marketing and strategy roles. The college authorities actively guide students with internships and jobs. Just keep your GPA high, since academics matter a lot and companies value that intellectual edge.
There is no campus and only a building in which other companies, institutes are also there and only it is of 2 floors. It feels like we're in a corporate and everything is well organised and it does not lack in terms of teaching material cuz classrooms are really high-tech and designed in a Harvard/IIM style
They have visiting faculty direclty coming from their Milan campus and extremely great. there courses are similar to the MBA colleges and very much according to what is required for the industry of the new age.
The placements opportunities are very limited as it's a new school and not very familiar with the recruiters. People from Sales and Marketing domain will get ample of opportunities here, but limited for people in finance, ops etc.
The college infrastructure is good for an MBA student. It has all sorts of exposure. There is a very strong Wi-Fi from canteen to eat in every class in the campus. The hostel is in the nearby building, which is very hygienic, clean and well equipped with all sorts of gadgets.
I'm currently pursuing international masters of business. The quality of teaching is very good. The teachers fly from Milan to teachers in the subjects which they are qualified in the curriculum is highly updated and includes all sort of recent developments in the field. There is a lot of practical learning making me ready for my future placement.
The quality of placements is good almost all the students get placed here with the highest package of around 30 lakhs. The placement process is very easy and the College placement cell is very supportive.
Good infrastructure, the classrooms are great and at par with some of the best colleges, but it is small and only expands for 2 floors and half of that second floor is cafeteria, so small but very high quality.
very rigorous scheduling, but a lot of guest lectures takes place with industry specialist coming in from brands like Ferrari and Hermes to provide you market insights. The scheduling of classes and other various activities is a bit chaotic.
Below par placements, the actual placements are different than what is shown in the marketing team. 100% of the batch is never placed by the college, a lot of students get placed because of their own contacts and hardwork.
