Yes, absolutely. IBS Hyderabad is much better than IBS Mumbai in terms of infrastructure, education, faculty, hostel facility, extra curriculum activities, campus facility and lots more. The placements is definitely good and way better as compared to Mumbai campus as the fees is high, so the ROI would be definitely better and bigger than IBS Mumbai placements. Even the number of companies, placement package, and rest other things are too good anytime in comparison to IBS Mumbai. If given a choice I would suggest anyone IBS Hyderabad over IBS Mumbai. At the same time the level of competition, commitment, dedication and hard work along with fees would be on higher side of Hyderabad branch, as it is also the head office and the first branch of IBS all over the country.
