A journey down the memory Lane

PGPM from ICFAI Business School literally changed my career for good. The IBS is one of the finest B-School in the region. The infrastructure is good, the faculty is also good. One of the key highlights of the college was the placement. It has been an exploratory journey. I would definitely recommend the IBS college for management studies.

Our curriculum was pretty diverse and updated. Syllabus covered topics from varying disciplines. First-year was mostly focussed on covering the basics of the subjects from a general MBA. The next two semesters were focussed on practical exposure in terms of managerial skills. The companies start visiting the campus from the third semester. A regular day was pretty casual and in college.

Our college has a 90% placement record. Some of the top recruiters include Amul, HDFC, Jaro, ITC, Bandhan Bank, Hinduja Leyland Finance, etc. The packages offered are also good. Students secured packages as high as 16 LPA for international profile while the average packages are around 6 LPA.

They charged me around 800,000 for the entire 2-year PGPM course which means 4 lacs per month. The facilities provided were also at par with the fee structure, especially the industry exposure. Overall, it was a program that delivered full value for money.

IBS has a state of the art infra and a structure of modernized labs. Our classrooms equipped with Wi-Fi and AC facilities. They also have a digital library and computer lab equipped with necessarily digitized labs. It is one of the finest B-schools in Ahmedabad. The campus life is good. Many festivals are also celebrated in our college.

All the AICTE approved scores like NMAT/XAT/CAT are accepted for admission at ICFAI. Students are called for the GD/PI rounds based on the merit in the entrance exam. Since many B-Schools are replacing written ability tests with the GD round, so I am not sure if they still take the GD round. But the personal interview round is a crucial step in the selection process.

The faculty members are quite qualified and they are quite supportive as well. They constantly keep on pushing students towards exploring entrepreneurial opportunities. The professors also had the relevant experience especially in terms of corporate exposure.
