How is the hostel life of students in IBS Hyderabad ?
Your hostel life actually depends on your batch and the friends you make. There are no particular rules and it’s you who has to set the routine of your college life. You can wake up at your convenience. Classes start at 9:30 am whereas breakfast is served at 8 am. It’s up to you if you want to spend your morning exercising and reading or rushing to your classes.
The lectures usually end around 4: 30 while some at 6. The lectures give you a break for lunch. Once the lectures end you can spend your time on any activity. Some spend their time hanging out while some prefer studying. It’s up to you how you utilize your free time.
If you are part of a club most of your time will be invested in meetings, events, parties, presentations, night outs, and many other activities. Your college life will keep you extremely busy that you will even have hardly any time to complete your sleep. But these are your best days so create as many memories as you can.
Which college is a better for an MBA, IBS Hyderabad or BML Munjal University?
Honestly, I would recommend anyone to go to a new but dynamic college rather than a reputed and old college. This is because the new colleges are at par with today’s advancements be it the curriculum or the facilities. The brand IBS was indeed popular Ron e but recently due to its increasing batch size and other shortcomings, it has lost its charm. So for me, it’s BML Munjal University. The points below will explain further why I recommend this school so strongly.
- BML Munjal University functions under the mentorship of Imperial College Business School, London which is among the top 20 in the world. This enables the students to grab the opportunity to attend Imperial College.
- The faculties are young and extremely learned
- The University was founded by Hero Group making almost every aspect of the B School industry relevant.
- Apart from a regular MBA, they offer MBA in Accounting and an MBA in Business Analytics. The MBA in Accounting and Finance is in association with KPMG and focuses on Forensic Accounting and Corporate Fraud. MBA in Business Analytics is in association with IBM where IBM is helping with the training and infrastructure part which is industry relevant.
All these factors make BML Munjal University a far better choice than IBS Hyderabad.

My friend got placed decently while at IBS Hyderabad. Some major highlights of the placement scenario then were
- People who started with good brands and salaries but below-average job profiles remained stuck for several years
- The profile of the candidates mattered the most during placements. Anyone with skills that are in demand can claim a good position in the corporate world.
- Many students, especially girls who left India to pursue MS in MIS, etc are earning 100k+ USD.
- Many students who initially started with a sales job, switched domains and are now earning 20+ LPA
Can anyone tell if I can get a bus to IBS Hyderabad (ICFAI) campus from Secundarabad at 6:30 In the morning? If not, can you suggest some alternative?
Hi, I went to college at CBIT, which is located along the route to your campus. There are no direct buses from Secunderabad to your campus. I can give you the bus numbers and routes you need to take.
You first need to get to Mehidipatnam, which you can do by taking any bus number 5. The buses are located near the front exit of the railway station. When you reach Mehidipatnam on bus number 5, you can find the State Bank ATM by asking around as most people are helpful. Opposite the ATM, there is a bus stop where the Shankarpally buses stop. Take that bus and it will take you directly to your campus.
Please be cautious of two things: it may be difficult to find a ride through Uber or Ola to your campus. Additionally, from 8:30 am to 10:30 am, the buses tend to be overcrowded with students, making it challenging to board.
Which one is better for pursuing an MBA: IBS Hyderabad or IIM Sambalpur?
First of all, it’s wrong to compare IIM Sambalpur with a below-average institution like IBS Hyderabad. IIM Sambalpur might be a new IIM but it is still among the tier 3 colleges whereas IBS Hyderabad is nowhere near.
My friend is currently pursuing an MBA from IIM Sambalpur and has listed the following pros and cons of the institute
Pros
- Under the mentorship of IIM Indore, IIM Sambalpur is slowly making its mark in the IIM family. It welcomes visiting faculties from IIM Indore which also shares the research work and other material with Sambalpur
- IIM Sambalpur might soon become an educational center as it hosts one of the oldest engineering colleges of the state which is on its way to becoming an IIEST, a very reputed government medical college and a couple of other well-known government universities.
- The airstrip near the city might soon become an airport in the near future thereby enhancing connectivity.
- Although it functions from a leased campus, the infrastructure is top notch
Cons
- It does not have its own campus and functions from leased premises
- The campus is situated 20 km away from the city and the nearest railway station in a lowly private engineering college.
- The placement is nowhere near the IIM standards
- Weak alumni base due to recent establishment
- The faculties are mediocrely experienced
- The lack of connectivity is a major reason for poor placements. The nearest functional airport is in Bhubaneswar, 350 km away.
All in all IIM Sambalpur is a decent choice if you are passionate about the IIM tag only and have limited options. Some years down the line it might improve in brand value as well. So go for it if it’s the tag you are after but go for ISB if you want a better teaching experience.
