Master of Business Administration (MBA) - Batch of 2025

5.0

It's the best college for MBA course.

Placements: About 67% of students are admitted to the MBA branch, and tuition fees range from INR 35 LPA to INR 6 LPA, with an average of INR 19 LPA. Hindalco, IOCL, ONGC, and several more corporations are among the top recruiters. Each year, a considerable number of students receive vocational training. The highest-level positions available are financial analyst, financial manager, and so on.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is old. The department's third and final year courses, however, are excellent. Laboratories are well-equipped with the necessary apparatus and equipment. A library is the finest location to study without a book. Regarding the hostel and mess, the food quality is average. Hospital is also nice.

Faculty: High-quality instruction is consistently recommended for learning and growth. Businesses are frequently large, and industrial activity is heavily pushed. The curriculum is consistent with industry practices. All of the teachers and staff are really helpful. Semester exams are rigorous, but around 85% of students pass.

I have described all the factors about this college.

Placements: The placement cell of this college is less active, and the placement percentage is average. 35-40% of students get a placement offer. Companies like RBS, Genpact, and Oberoi are giving job offers at my college. Others who have not been placed sit in the Central Placement Office of this university.

Infrastructure: The college campus is so beautiful and spans in very huge area. Our college is on a total of 95 acres. The hostel rooms are properly maintained and clean. The food is so tasty and hygienic. Each and every room has an attached bathroom. All staff members are so kind and helpful to students.

Faculty: Most of the faculty members are highly qualified and well-experienced. They always stand for helping students. Their teaching method is great and provides the best notes. They are kind and friendly in nature. The college conducts internal, semester, and lab exams properly. The faculty members solve all doubts of the students.

Other: The college placement cell needs to be improved.

My review of this college.

Placements: Placement assistance was given to us by the placement department of the university, which consisted of companies looking for students in marketing, finance, or human resource departments. Many companies came to our campus, including IndusInd Bank, Life Insurance Corporation of India, Bank of India, Tripura Gramin Bank, State Bank of India, Wipro, PRAN Foods Ltd, and others. 98% of students got placed, including off-campus placements. The average package was 6.5 LPA. Internship programs were provided during the summer sessions to grab a good opportunity to know the work environment.

Infrastructure: The hostel facilities were really good. All the rooms were spacious, with a balcony in every other room. All the rooms were cleaned twice a week, and washrooms were cleaned every day. The food served was of very high quality and hygienic. There was a student committee to oversee, supervise, and suggest changes.

Faculty: Faculty was highly qualified and knowledgeable. There were a number of faculty members who came from an industrial background. Some of them had degrees from foreign universities. Faculty was the best point of the college, and we had many decorated people with Ph.D. degrees. They were interactive in class. The exams were very frequent as we were in a trimester system. The exam structure was divided into four semesters with an additional internship period in between. We used to have weekly internal evaluations for different subjects each week, and at the end of the semester, the main exams took place. The course curriculum was very standard and up-to-date. The whole curriculum was divided into four semesters, each semester lasting six months. The total course duration was two years. It was highly liked by the industry. In the first semester, they concentrated on the basics.

Overall, it is a good college for the MBA course.

Placements: The placement record of this college is average. The college placement cell is inactive. Very few companies like RBS, Genpact, Oberoi, etc., hire high-quality students. Only 35-40% of students get placed on the campus, and others sit in the central placements of the university. I think college placement needs to be improved.

Infrastructure: The college campus is so big and very beautiful. The campus of our college spans 95 acres. Hostel rooms are well-maintained and properly cleaned. Mess food is delicious and maintains proper hygiene. The hostel provides an attached bathroom. Staff members are friendly and kind in nature. Here we can feel at home.

Faculty: One of the best things about our college is its faculty members. Most of the faculty members are well-qualified. They always help students with problem-solving. They provide the best notes. Exams like internal, semester, and lab exams are taken in a professional manner. Teachers behave very friendly with students.

This is the best college for MBA course.

Placements: Our college's MBA placement cell provides students with the chance to secure jobs in the industry. 70% of the students secure placements, while the remaining ones in our college choose to pursue higher education. Cognizant, Wells Fargo, DeltaX, and others are the leading firms. If not through the placement cell, clubs also provide placement options.

Infrastructure: Facilities are more standard than those of any other college in Hyderabad. There are also classrooms with Wi-Fi, a large library, smart teaching, and facilities for sports and games. However, hotel facilities are not so great, due to the poor maintenance of all rooms and guest rooms. MBA mess is great though.

Faculty: Curriculum is excellent and helps you prepare for the industry and the outside world. Semester exams have a continuous grading system, which is difficult but can be tackled with consistent effort. Curriculum is appropriate, and projects and activities contribute to the overall development of students.

My review of this college.

Placements: The college had a very good placement record. The top reputed company visited our campus. They offered a great number of opportunities to get placed. The placement committee guided us throughout counseling, and the Alumni base was strong, which helped in calling better companies and placing more students on campus. The average package was 7.5 LPA and the highest went up to 30 LPA. Good companies came for hiring, and they also provided good opportunities for summer internship projects. Companies like Cognizant, Wipro, TCS, PwC, Amazon, Flipkart, ICICI Bank, HDFC, Myntra, etc., were the top recruiters.

Infrastructure: The hostel infrastructure was also good, with single rooms for one person, including a bed, a cupboard, a set of tables and chairs, and an associated balcony. There were both attached and common washrooms. A basic gym facility with a few instruments was also available in the hostel. A basic food stall and a warden room were provided, and the food was good and hygienic.

Faculty: Faculty of this college were awesome. Faculty members were very expert, with strong subject knowledge and industry experience. Their approach was very professional, and most of them were easily accessible even after lectures. They were quite helpful during the internship provided great support in selecting electives and offered a lot of motivation. The exam structure was divided into 4 semesters with an additional internship period in between. The college started in June and continued till February. The exam period was in the last week of September. The exam pattern included 2 internal exams and 1 semester exam in each semester. The course curriculum was two years, and the exams were conducted semester-wise. In this, you had to clear each of the 5 semesters to get an MBA degree, and after that, you got your desired job.

My honest review of my college.

Placements: No matter how much college boasts of this. The real picture is not the same. The placement cell is present in the college, but is quite inactive. Very few companies visited the campus. Some of those are Genpact, RBS, Oberoi, etc. About 30-40% of students get placed. The rest of them sit in the central placements of the university.

Infrastructure: Hostel rooms and furniture beds are very well maintained. The mess is very well-maintained and cleaned by the hostel team members. Staff members are also friendly and feel like a home.

Faculty: One thing I loved about the college is its painstaking faculty members. Most of the professors have pretty good experience. They are readily available for doubts even after the lecture. There are freshers too, but do not worry, they provide notes. Internals, mid exams, semester exams, and lab exams are conducted in a professional manner. The course curriculum is a bit outdated, but professors bring a lot of new topics for discussion. The pedagogy is also a bit outdated, considering facts that lots of other MBA institutes have an innovative style of teaching. Some courses are offered in a specified format.

Placements: IBS has a strong alumni network that supports students during the placement season. Last year, the highest package offered was around 21 Lacs per year, and the college claims an average salary package of 10 Lacs per year. The main recruiters include Deloitte, Amazon, and JPMC.

Infrastructure: The college spans about 95 acres of land and has extensive infrastructural facilities. They also offer hostel rooms with both AC and non-AC options. There are many hostel blocks characterized by single-sharing and dual-sharing rooms. Attached washrooms are also provided.

Faculty: We have experienced faculty who will help to improve our potential. They all have at least 10 years of teaching experience. They are also good at case study writing, so this will improve the practical experience of students about what will happen in an organization.
