ICFAI Business School Ahmedabad, PGPM, General

Reviewed on Apr 11, 2020

Remarks

PGPM from ICFAI Business School literally changed my career for good. The IBS is one of the finest B-School in the region. The infrastructure is good, the faculty is also good. One of the key highlights of the college was the placement. It has been an exploratory journey. I would definitely recommend the IBS college for management studies.

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

Our curriculum was pretty diverse and updated. Syllabus covered topics from varying disciplines. First-year was mostly focussed on covering the basics of the subjects from a general MBA. The next two semesters were focussed on practical exposure in terms of managerial skills. The companies start visiting the campus from the third semester. A regular day was pretty casual and in college.

Placement Experience

Our college has a 90% placement record. Some of the top recruiters include Amul, HDFC, Jaro, ITC, Bandhan Bank, Hinduja Leyland Finance, etc. The packages offered are also good. Students secured packages as high as 16 LPA for international profile while the average packages are around 6 LPA.

Fee Structure And Facilities

They charged me around 800,000 for the entire 2-year PGPM course which means 4 lacs per month. The facilities provided were also at par with the fee structure, especially the industry exposure. Overall, it was a program that delivered full value for money.

Campus Life

IBS has a state of the art infra and a structure of modernized labs. Our classrooms equipped with Wi-Fi and AC facilities. They also have a digital library and computer lab equipped with necessarily digitized labs. It is one of the finest B-schools in Ahmedabad. The campus life is good. Many festivals are also celebrated in our college.

Admission

All the AICTE approved scores like NMAT/XAT/CAT are accepted for admission at ICFAI. Students are called for the GD/PI rounds based on the merit in the entrance exam. Since many B-Schools are replacing written ability tests with the GD round, so I am not sure if they still take the GD round. But the personal interview round is a crucial step in the selection process.

Faculty

4.5

The faculty members are quite qualified and they are quite supportive as well. They constantly keep on pushing students towards exploring entrepreneurial opportunities. The professors also had the relevant experience especially in terms of corporate exposure.

Dislikes

One thing that needs to be approved as waterlogging during rainy season because water gets collected around the campus and it gets difficult for the students to move around comfortably, specially for hostel students
Sometimes the schedule can get tiring back-to-back classes in sessions
I feel there should be more space for students in campus during breaks. They can go sit and learn their.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The curriculum is relevant to management and covers different areas that are useful for a PGDM student. It includes classroom learning along with practical activities. it is useful for understanding real world concepts. so far, I find the course structure Interesting and helpful

Likes

the fee structure of the mba is very less compared to the other colleges
good classmates because people come from cmat and topppes only get admission
placements are good if you are satisfied with 6/7 lakhs a year

Dislikes

infrastructure of the campus is very poor
the faculties are average except one two, more from a teaching bg rather than corporate experience.
for me the average package is less, and some people also left by getting placed

Placement Experience:

good placements, avg is 6.5/7 ctc and in hand avg goes arounf 5 lpa, highest 17 lpa, lowest 4 lpa, median should be around 5 lpa, this is as per my batch(batch 23-25) it is similar in other batches and 80/90% students get placed easily if they are good and the placement cordinator also try to get the rest placed where the batch have achieves 100% almost every year. there are options after college if you dont get placement from college because it is core mba with subjects marketing finance and hr.
