SDM Institute for Management Development Reviews on Placement, Faculty, Hostel by Students

IIMs and all others are at a level that is impossible to reach for students with less than 98 percentiles. SDMIMD too doesn't accept students below 90 percentiles as the SDMIMD standard is too high. A group discussion followed by a personal interview is all that we had to clear before getting our final admissions here. Once the admissions were done, we had to join the College. On joining, I checked in to the hostel and made friends immediately as the next day, we had our orientation program. The orientation program started with a bang, as in the very first session, we all knew who our classmates were and where they belonged. Also, the faculties introduced themselves and those three days made me get rid of all the homesickness that I had the night before the orientation program. Well, even though the Covid came along the way, online classes were held and portions were completed. The only problem that we had was that our exams were online and the grading of those exams is still beyond me.Read Full Review

Only students with good percentiles in CAT can join SDMIMD Mysore, and there is a stringent cut-off rule for the admission process. A group discussion followed by a personal interview for the selection process determines whether you get admission to this College. The final admission process selects the best, and they get admission to this prestigious College with a great history. The orientation program takes place the very next day after your admission, wherein you get to know your faculty and future classmates. This is a great session to know each other and understand the workings of the College. Several alumni are placed doing well for themselves and take pride in being students of SDMIMD.Read Full Review

SDMIMD can win an aggressive bidding battle with any top B-School. I come from Mysore and going to Bangalore for graduation was fruitful but when I looked back at the options for MBA, I found my city's College, SDMIMD superior and better than many B-Schools of Bangalore. Before taking admissions, I watched Danny Boyle's film 28 days later. The gist is that after taking admissions, I didn't want to look at a month before when I had quite a few options and chose the one which is not worth it. I checked the placements circa, and it was good. I looked at the campus and it was good again. I looked at the education part and it was way better than many others. These reasons were more than enough for me to know that 28 days later, I won't be regretting my decision at all. Mysore generally doesn't have many students from various states of India but SDMIMD has broken that jinx because ever since it has started ranking in the top 50 B-Schools of the country, students from wide and far off states have started pouring in.Read Full Review
