It was a smooth process, everything was planned well in advance and the results were also declared shortly.

IBS has 9 campuses. IBS-M is at the second top IBS list, and if you score extremely well, i.e., around above 85 percentile, then you get IBS-M. The GD topics were either abstract or related to latest news articles. also the PI rounds were great, the interviewers understood the candidates and were friendly enough, IBS had conducted preparatory sessions at its different campuses to help people who are willing to prepare for the GD and PI. They conducted mock GDs and PIs to boost the confidence of the candidate.
