ICFAI Business School Mumbai Powai Answered Questions

The 2-year full-time PGPM program is an industry accepted management program. It does not have AICTE recognition but that does not matter as companies visit every year for recruitment. So as far as you are getting placed through campus it will not be a problem and on the other side the institute also provides an option to opt for the MBA degree program which is offered by ICFAI University Dehradun on self-study mode basis which will parallelly get completed with the PGPM program and that degree is UGC approved. So you can apply for Ph.D or any public sector job with this MBA degree also.
P.S: AICTE approval is given to autonomous institute only which provide PGDM whereas UGC approval is given to universities providing MBA degree. Do not mix up both. Hope this is clear.

IBS, Mumbai has got decent faculty and have decent placement statistics.
Think in terms of what you are looking for in an that institute to learn. Don't just go blindly go for any institute. Do some research, find the area which you want to specialize in etc. Talking about IBS, Mumbai it is good for marketing and finance and HR is upcoming after these two.

In terms of ranking, I'd prefer IBS Mumbai, then ITM Mumbai, then IBS Hyderabad and then other colleges. Don't go on the basis of ranking for choosing your college. See, the ROI which is better of ITM, Navi Mumbai. After all, placements are only which you want at the end.

Greetings,
Talking about good placements-MET, IES, IBS then Amity is the order I would rank the colleges you mentioned in the question. But it also depends on your score. If you have good score then you can also try for better colleges like Dalmia, SIES and KJ Somaiya.
Thank you.

You should first understand what all parameters you are considering for selecting the right b-school.
following parameters can be used to find out which of the two best suits:
Faculty
Package
Recruiters
Summer internships
Extra-curricular activities
Electives offered
Placement statistics (highest, lowest and average CTC offered).
Intake of students
Teaching methodology
According to me, BIMM is a good option for PGDM in finance.
BIMHRD is for HR, I guess.
Whereas, in IBS-Mumbai, there are decent faculty members for finance.

IBS, Hyderabad is a deemed to be university and is UGC recognised and offers a 2-year full-time MBA programme which is a residential programme. AICTE approval is only given to autonomous institutes which offer post-graduate Diplomas (which are again equivalent to 2 year MBA programme). On the other hand, IBS, Mumbai is affiliated to the Hyderabad and is not AICTE approved and offers a 2-year full-time postgraduate programme in management (PGPM). I personally don't think that having an AICTE approval would matter because every year lots of companies visit the campus for placements. So, as far as the college is providing placements, AICTE approval will not be an issue because at the time of your interviews, companies will look for what have you done in 2 years and not AICTE/UGC for that matter. Also, IBS-Mumbai offers a parallel MBA degree programme also which is awarded by ICFAI University, Dehradun which is a UGC recognised university and that programme runs paralelly with your PGPM programme if you wish to opt for it.
PS: I myself is an MBA graduate of IBS, Mumbai and also applied for MBA degree offered by ICFAI University, Dehradun and also got placed with a good company on time. The only issue is of intake. There the real competition comes in.
Rest all is fine.
