I am currently a student at IFIM Business school, Bangalore and I firstly I would like to mention that IFIM does not provide a MBA but a PGDM degree so its agenda is different from these colleges mentioned. Talking about how IFIM stands out among these, I would like to mention that we have a very unique curriculum along with many add-ons like corporate mentorship programs, personality enhancement programme, design thinking, SIP, IIP. It is the 6th Business School in India to receive the prestigious AACSB International accreditation and the only Business School to offer a Bespoke Curriculum model. All these are not just facts and I feel to be so proud to be a student here. With so many opportunities and learning in this college I feel like this two year PGDM programme is the biggest value addition for my career.

Firstly, I would like to clear the difference between getting an MBA and a PGDM degree. Colleges like Christ provide a MBA, while IFIM provides a PGDM degree and therefore they cannot be compared. Im a current student of IFIM Bangalore and I can tell you that it is a top B-school with unique curriculum and features that makes it stand out like personality enhancement programme, corporate mentorship, design thinking etc. It is the only Business School to offer an internationally acclaimed bespoke curriculum model which provides a tailor-made learning path for each student. My school is also AACSB accredited, which only 6 schools have in India. I hope this post gives you more clarity while making your decisions.
