Vidhi Sharma's Review On IBS, Hyderabad

IBSAT, CAT, MAT, Due to a relatively low score in CAT, I gave IBSAT as well not knowing much about the college. After the entrance, All the students were called for a GD/PI at Hyderabad campus. There I got an opportunity to interact with students, staff, faculty of the university and got a better clarity on the quality of education, placements,etc which was pretty decent.

The course curriculum was quite an interesting blend of subjects. In the first year of MBA course, general subjects like OB, Marketing, operations, business ethnics, Business law, etc were emphasized on. Second year was more of a specialisation year, where electives like branding, product management, HR, Marketing research, advertising, were pat of the curriculum.

Yes, There was a huge placement cell in the college where companies from all the metro cities where invited to the campus for internships n placements. Average stipend was 10k-20k for internships from sectors like FMCG, Automobiles, MR research, start ups, Banking, etc.

In a batch of 800 students, around 80% were placed between a period of 5 months, starting in Oct to Feb. major banks like ICICI, HDFC, Axis,etc were a part of zero month placements and did bulk hiring. Vedanta industries came with highest CTC offering of 20 Lac. Average CTC was 8.5 lacs for freshers and 12 lacs for experienced guys.

It is an expensive course. In the year 2011 when I joined the total tuition fee was 9.5 lacs for 4 semesters and 2.5 for hostel and mess facilities. It included a laptop, books, case studies, etc as well. No exta charges were taken other than the mentions. Total fee was 12 Lacs.

Yearly scholarship of Rs.1 Lac was given to students scoring 8 CGPA and Rs 75000 for students scoring 7.5-8 GCPA. Other than that loans from all the banks were available at the campus at the time of admission.

it was a mix of practical and theoretical approach. More weight-age was give to class participation (70%), 10% to regular assessments, and 20% to final semester examinations. Students were mostly occupied with projects and assessments all the time or preparing for the daily cases to be discussed in the lecture.

Most of the faculty were holding qualifications like Ph.d and some of them were still doing research with foreign universities residing in the campus. Students were also given opportunities to assist them in the real life researches while doing the course.
