How the PGPB from MISB Bocconi Offers an Inside Edge in Today’s Competitive Job Market
MISB Bocconi may have a brief past, although it has a vibrant present and a bright future. If you’re considering whether the PGPB can help you reach your professional goals, let’s take a closer look at what MISB Bocconi has to offer. A Premier Name The Bocconi name is known all over the world for its leading business and management programs. As the only offshore presence of Italy’s prominent University Bocconi, MISB Bocconi offers its students access to all of the benefits of a top b-school education. There’s no denying that the Bocconi name holds weight with today’s employers; as part of this legacy, MISB students reap the inherent benefits. A Network of Business Leaders Our small, tight-knit classes mean grads walk away with personal and professional connections which will last a lifetime. But these connections aren’t limited to fellow classmates. MISB Bocconi’s distinguished faculty members are available, accessible and eager to interact with students. Community-based projects and internships further enrich the connections made on and off campus. The result? Premier networking opportunities. In an era where the world is smaller than before due to the breakdown of conventional geographical borders, these associations can be leveraged into an inside edge on the job market. Factor in our premier Mumbai location, and the opportunities grow even more profound. A Truly International Education While all b-schools are compelled to tout their credentials as international environments, MISB Bocconi truly delivers on this promise. Not only are we home to a diverse community of students and faculty members, but students also participate in international exchange — both through our popular Milan semester as well as optional summer campus exchange programs. The result? Graduates enter the workforce with the truly international perspective sought after by companies looking for traction within India’s booming economy as well as on the world stage. Through all of this, we remain committed to ensuring that all students have access to the knowledge and training they need to maximize their job searches. Our Career Development Services offer extensive assistance with everything from resume writing to mock interviews to personal orientation labs aimed at helping students develop useful insights into their own unique strengths and aptitudes. Together, these resources ensure that each MISB Bocconi student is optimally positioned for peak success.
The ROI of an MISB Education
Rarely does a discussion on business schools arise today without three words also coming up: return on investment. And with good reason, too. With expensive tuition fees and an increasingly competitive job market, how do you know if your decision to attend a b-school will pay off in the long run? At MISB Bocconi, we understand these concerns and actively strive to keep value as a hallmark of everything we do. Our grads head out into the world prepared not only to innovate and lead, but also to immediately begin reaping the rewards of a premier international b-school education. The Esteemed Bocconi Name The prestigious Bocconi name has long been synonymous with exceptional quality. In fact, SDA Bocconi’s full-time MBA program was included on The Economist’s global line-up of good-value MBAs, claiming the fourth place spot in terms of ROI, with tuition and forgone salary factored in. As the only offshore campus of Bocconi, MISB offers all of the benefits of a Bocconi education in the heart of Mumbai. In other words, our students walk away with the knowledge, skills, and international outlook needed not only to succeed in today’s dynamic marketplace, but to take on intense leadership roles. Numbers That Speak for Themselves One look at our 2015 placement report delivers an eye-opening picture of what MISB students stand to gain when entering the workforce following completion of the PGPB. Some of our success stats include: a 100 percent employment rate among placement-seeking grads a 175 percent average salary increase from pre- to post-PGPB an average compensation of INR 10.23 Lakhs 3.5 job openings per student In short, when we say our alumni are positioned to succeed in the workplace, we’re not just pulling random numbers out of the air to make a compelling sales pitch. Our placement records speak for themselves. From Our Alumni And then, there’s what alumni like Smiti Mohan and Manish Pathak have to say. From improved conflict management skills to lifelong professional and personal networks, an MISB Bocconi degree continues to give back as our alumni progress through in their careers. While these experiences might not be quantifiable in dollars, they’re undeniable and tangible in their own right. At MISB Bocconi, we like nothing more than the chance to address the pertinent issue of ROI with prospective MBA students. Why? Because we know that we deliver — and then some — ensuring that our students get the biggest bang for their buck with the PGPB.
