IBS Hyderabad isn’t a good option for MBA. The placement record of the institute isn’t good. You won’t get a good ROI. The course fee for an MBA at IBS Hyderabad is INR 16.02 lakhs. While the average CTC offered to the students according to IBS Hyderabad placement highlights for 2022 is INR 7.97 LPA.

What specifications can I expect out of the laptop I am likely to get at the onset in KIIT?
I have a friend who is an alumnus of KIIT. He was able to provide the specification of the laptop offered to students in the 2016 batch.
- Laptop Model: Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 460
- Type or Mode of Laptop: Convertible Laptop and Touch Screen
- Display Size and Type: 14 inches (Full HD, Anti Glare)
- Pixel Density: 210 PPI
- Resolution: 1920 x 1080 px
- Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce 940M (2 GB dedicated, 6 GB dynamic)
- Processor: Intel Core i5 processor (6th Generation; it offers a maximum of2.71 GHz clock speed)
- RAM: 8GB (RAM Speed: 1600 MHz)
- HDD: 1TB
- Backlit Keyboard
- Fingerprint Scanner
- Webcam (720p)
- Carbon Magnesium Alloy Body (The feature is in itself a very dynamic one. It comes with a serious fingerprint magnet)
However, there is no ethernet port. In contrast, the university does not also provide any LAN connection, so you eventually do not need the ethernet port anyway.
The laptops provided to the students do not usually come with a ThinkPad pro stylus when they generally should. In the case of gaming, they work seamlessly. Thus, it should not be an issue to be concerned about.

How good is the department of financial studies MBA (FM), Delhi University?
My brother was a student at this college and so this answer is based on his experience solely. The Department of Financial Studies is a CFA-affiliated college wherein you can get a scholarship for pursuing a CFA degree. Its MBA program is highly coveted. It's the best option for you if you want to pursue a career in Finance and fail to make it to other B Schools. Here are some factors to consider
- Fees: The low fees charged by DFS is the USP of the college. You can pursue an MBA at just 26000. IIMs fees on the other end are very high Around 13–24 lakhs. So DFS offers a better ROI than IIMs.
- Curriculum: Curriculum-wise, DFS cannot be compared to IIMs that have excellent course structure at par with foreign universities. DFS follows the semester pattern, unlike the trimester pattern in IIMs. IIMs conduct case study competitions but this is not the case at DFS.
- Faculty : DFS has some very well-educated and experienced faculty members much better than at least the new IIMs.
- Placement: The placements at DFS are at par with new IIMs only and not other top IIMs.
- Alumni: The small batch size of DFS has failed to establish an elaborate alumni base in contrast to IIM Ahmedabad.
Ultimately, if you don’t want a huge loan to repay at the end of 2 years or the IIM tag, DFS is the best option
