Which is better for a PGDM, IFIM Bangalore or IBS Hyderabad?
Both the colleges are moderate and have no feature that makes them stand out from the other. IFIM Bangalore is a bit overestimated but has been able to make a mark in the Finance sector.
IBS Hyderabad on the other hand is a brand name and has been there for decades. It attracts over 1000 students every year making it one of the most coveted B Schools of the country.
The best way to find out which is a better choice is through comparing the high fees with the average package and concluding the estimated ROI.
Fees
IFIM Bangalore - ?4.65 Lakhs (1st Year Fees)
IBS Hyderabad-INR 16.02 MBA Program

IFIM Bangalore - INR 7.5 LPA
IBS Hyderabad - INR 11.70 LP
Other top tier colleges include
- IMT (Hyd)
- SIBM (Hyd)
- NMIMS (Hyd)
- Ashoka School of Business (Hyd)
ASB is a rather good choice in terms of ROI.
How was your GD-PI experience at IBS Hyderabad for MBA?
One of my friends had a great GD-PI experience at IBS Hyderabad. He recounted having 8-9 candidates in his GD session. Almost every individual was extraordinarily talented and spoke very boldly and did not shy away from sharing their views on the concerned topics.
After the GD round, the individuals were directed to their respective personal interviews. The interview was nothing extraordinary and he was asked about the most basic things.
He concluded by saying that anyone with the right mindset and skills can get into IBS. You should be confident enough and able to convey your thoughts. He also added that if anyone is opting for IBS, he should only go for the Mumbai or Hyderabad campus as the crowd is extremely moderate in other campuses.
Which college for MBA should I join- NMIMS Hyderabad, SCIT Pune or IBS Hyderabad?
I personally will recommend you join NMIMS rather than IBS Hyderabad. Some major reasons that support my recommendation are
- The institute operates under the NMIMS University’s methodology and you also get to include its brand name in your CV.
- The institute is AMBA accredited thus meeting global standards in education.
- The NMAT cutoff is higher than ISBAT thereby ensuring the quality of crowd and placement opportunities
- Associating with the NMIMS brand will let you avail lifetime benefits
NMIMS has a decent placement scenario.NMIMS Hyderabad is known for achieving a 100% placement record. The institute successfully conducted its placement drive for the 2019-21 batch. 100% of the participating students got placed. The final placement report for the 2019-21 batch has been released. According to the report, the highest CTC rose up to INR 15 LPA. Students received an average CTC of INR 9.59 LPA.
SCIT has released the final placement statistics for MBA ITBM and MBA DSDA batch 2020-22. The highest package offered to MBA ITBM students was INR 32.29 LPA and for MBA DSDA it was INR 32.21 LPA. The placement rate recorded for both courses was 100%. Over 30 companies participated in MBA ITBM placements and more than 25 companies were part of the MBA DSDA placement drive in 2022.
Compare the ROI and check the field of specialization before making the final decision.
How good is Ashoka Business School Hyderabad compared to IBS Hyderabad for an MBA?
First of all IBS Hyderabad is not a recognized college. Back in 2007-2009 students went against the college’s false promises and threw stones to protest. The college was in full bloom till 2006. But ever since then the quality of education and its brand value has been deteriorating. Some major reasons for its decline in value are
- Massive intake i.e., an increase in the batch size has affected the quality of education proportionally.
- The high fees have made ISB a money-making Institute rather than an educational institution.
It’s because of such reasons that it has lost its original reputation and is famous for all the wrong reasons. So I don’t think it’s very wise to risk your career by making such a choice.
How is ITM Mumbai compared to IBS Hyderabad?
ITM Mumbai is a good option for a sales profile. Since I don’t know your specialization it’s difficult to say which is a better option for you. Even your percentile would have helped me make a better choice for you.
I would suggest you take a drop year and attempt CAT again to minimize risk as much as possible. Another option is making a LinkedIn profile and chatting with alumni of the respective college, especially in the field you are interested in. Check the job stability in that specific field and match it with your profile and expectations.
It’s better to invest hugely and get a lifetime career rather than just getting a degree and an uncertain job profile of 100% placement.
What is the recent GD-PI cutoff of IBS Hyderabad?
Firstly IBS Hyderabad does not reveal its ISBAT or GD-PI cutoffs. You are not informed about your individual scores let alone your GD-PI scores. The students who get shortlisted are sent an invitation letter for the GD-PI round. Once you have successfully completed the round and have been selected, GD-PI performance along with the college campus allotted to you. However, these marks serve no purpose of cutoffs and therefore should not be considered a general cutoff. Many candidates who got 98 percentile get selected while many with even 78 percentile. Their criteria is unpredictable and therefore no cutoff is fixed.
Should I join IBS Hyderabad, XIME Bangalore, or take CAT again?
My friend was in a similar dilemma and eventually went for XIME Bangalore. She made this decision as she was strongly against the extremely rigorous campus life of IBS Hyderabad. The huge batch size leaves little opportunity for the average student and you have to compete with thousands and it’s not worth it. Also, the quality of education suffers as a result of the huge batch size.
You should go for TAPMI as it requires work experience and honestly, re-attempting is not a wise decision when you can’t really predict your future. So it’s best to grab the opportunity at hand and make the best use out of it
Who are famous alumini of IBS hyderabad?
It’s quite difficult to compile a list of famous alumni of IBS Hyderabad mainly because each batch size comprises 900+ students. However, for the most famous ones you can visit IBS Hyderabad’s official website. The website provided data related to the achievements of many IBS Hyderabad alumni and their details also.
