HYDERABAD, INDIA, Feb 13, 2026, ICFAI Business School (IBS) is set to begin its annual selection process tomorrow, Feb 14th, at the IBS Hyderabad campus. Running until Feb 22nd, it serves as the entry point for students who want to join any of the 9 IBS campuses across India.

The IBS selection process is uniquely designed to be professional and encouraging, featuring a Micro Presentation and a Personal Interview that allow candidates to demonstrate their communication skills and leadership potential. In addition to these evaluations, the campus will host interactive sessions where parents and candidates will have the opportunity to attend seminars led by recruiters, alumni, and campus heads, while banking partners remain available on-site to assist with any education loan queries. A key highlight this year is the special IBS Case Research Centre (CRC) kiosk, where representatives will showcase the distinct advantages of the centre, which currently holds a prestigious 3rd-place global rank in the Case Impact index for 2025, following only Harvard and INSEAD.

As the process is ongoing, last-minute applicants still have the opportunity to secure their future, as applications remain open until February 14th. Successful candidates will join a network of over 75,000 alumni, 40% of whom hold senior leadership roles and 10% of whom hold international roles. By leveraging industry-ready tools like SAP and Bloomberg during their 14-week internships, students are prepared to excel in the competitive global marketplace.

A collection of testimonials from last year's selection process can be viewed on the official website, and a few are down below:

  • "The experience was seamless and rewarding. If you’re looking for career growth and a shift in trajectory, IBS is the place to be. - Nikhil
  • With 2.5 years of solid experience at Bank of America, Nikhil knew he was ready for the next level. He watched his peers transition into roles at IDBI and Bandhan Bank after their time at IBS, and he decided it was his turn to lead.
  • "Because of the personalised guidance from the IBS team, the Micro Presentation and Personal Interview felt smooth, straightforward, and completely stress-free. - Aditi, a graduate from National PG College, Lucknow, applied to IBS through her NMAT score.

Eligible candidates with valid CAT, XAT, NMAT by GMAC™, or GMAT™ scores can apply at the official website.
