ICFAI Business School (IBS), Hyderabad

It is approved by UGC, but not by AICTE.

IBS-Hyderabad is a better option any day. It has a better placement record and ROI.

Frankly speaking, if you just want to pursue MBA then you can but during placements, there will be very few companies for which you will be eligible as you might be over qualified for the profile with the experience that you have. I would suggest you to try for IIMs, Xavier's, Symbiosis or Narsee Monjee. If not, then IBS, with the motto of pursing masters and not placements. As there will be very few companies coming which would require so much of work experience.

The overall cutoff is 90%, this includes the score for GD & PI. Also, this cutoff is valid once you get selected for the process. IBSAT score cut off is 80% above and also you can give CAT/NMAT.

There will not be a problem in admission. So, the process will have a group discussion and a personal interview round among the selected candidates. About the MBA program, you'll have finance, marketing, human resources, operations as your major/minor in the second year. The first year will have all the subjects as mandatory. The infrastructure, faculties, hostels, mess food, the clubs that are present in the college, the pattern of examination, grading, etc. everything is pretty decent & will benefit you for your overall personality development. This will help you seek a good placement with a decent package.

The intake every year ranges between 900-1100. Those who get the cut off above 85% which includes the percentage obtained in the GDs & PIs get the first preference.
The GDs are based on current or abstract topics and the PI is basically based on your resume. The process overall is not very difficult. You just need to communicate very efficiently and effortlessly.

According to me, it is a nice college for MBA. Though, you have many other options as well. You can go to thr College which you get selected in. Based on the entrance exams you clear, you'll have the choices.

You can apply for this year also. Work experience is not compulsory. But if you have then it's good.

Yes, why not. You can try as the admission dates are about to be closed.

They select based on their requirements. But mostly it's not more than 2. Apart from Tolaram, overall 95% students get placed in other companies.
