Small infrastructure with extensive knowledge and scope.
Placements: Student placement is around 90-95%, and it depends on the performance of the student in the interview. The median of the college is between 6 and 8 LPA. Approximately 95% got internships. I got a project coordinator role. Before my final placement, the college allowed us to do jobs.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is small but has all the facilities related to study. Wi-Fi works fine, and there are 2 computer labs and also Bloomberg terminals, with which you can get certification. There are two libraries. I don’t know about the quality of the hostel and food.
Faculty: All faculty members have an MBA degree, and the majority of the faculty have a Ph.D. in their specialization. The knowledge of the faculty is good, and the curriculum of the syllabus is updated according to industry requirements, which provides more help to the students.

Good academics with decent placements and supportive faculty - IIBS college review 2026.
Placements: I am currently pursuing PGDM (2024 - 2026). Recently, I got placed in a 14 LPA job in a company called Happy Equity. Nearly 60 to 70 percent of students have already been placed this year. The top recruiting companies are Deloitte, IBM, Infosys, etc. I have a good experience here, and the placement department is supportive.
Infrastructure: Classrooms have centralized ACs, and the students are extremely comfortable with the libraries and hostel, where we can expect good food and hygiene. Sports are conducted every academic year. Apart from that, indoor games are always available on the campus.
Faculty: Teachers are extremely helpful and have corporate experience of 5 to 6 years on average. They guide each and every individual intellectually. The curriculum is relevant and helps us study in depth regarding the specializations we choose. As we have the trimester system, we are given sufficient time to prepare for the exams.
Other: The reason I chose this course is that PGDM has wide experiential learning opportunities, and it helps to gain skills in the specialization that I chose. The events and the trips we are offered here are highly appreciable, as they encourage the diverse culture of our country.

Minimum satisfaction with the faculty, average placements in 2024 .
Placements: In our course, almost 70% of students are placed in various companies. The highest package this year is 12 LPA, and the lowest is 6 LPA, with an average package of 8 LPA. The guidance from the placement team is very good. The placement team conducted various sessions and webinars to build our communication skills and help us understand the work environment. Our hard work also plays a crucial role in getting placements.
Infrastructure: In our course, the infrastructure is good. There are two libraries in the college, various books are available for reading, and the space in the library is spacious and peaceful. In the college, there is a separate common room for girls. A medical room is also available in the college for emergencies, and they provide medicine as well. The infrastructure in the classrooms is also good; there are digital boards.
Faculty: In the college, teachers are very friendly. They help with academics and other things, like research papers, certifications, etc. Most of the syllabus in our course is practical, and industrial visits are also arranged for our batch to companies like Titan and Coca-Cola for a real work environment experience.
Other: I chose this course because I am from a commerce background. The things that need to be improved in the course are the timings; it is from 9:30 to 5:30, so we didn't have any time to do other certifications in the first year. Coming to the college fests and events, they were too good. Every festival is celebrated in college in a better way.

To summarize, IIBS is a good college for PGDM and MBA, with good facilities for the students.
Placements: The college has connections in the industry, and placements are provided for students. Most marketing companies come. As a Data Science student, not many opportunities are provided but overall it is good. Companies like Siemens, Brillio, TCS, and many more come for different roles.
Infrastructure: The college has a good infrastructure with tools and equipment. It has seminar halls to conduct events, meetings, or seminars. The college has a good crowd with yearly fests and functions. It includes a library with good quality reference books, hostels for all students and Wi-Fi in each room for the smooth conduct of classes.
Faculty: Being a PGDM batch, it has 6 semesters over 2 years. Each semester is 3 months long, with frequent exams and good industry exposure for students. The curriculum is practical-based which is good for students to gain hands-on experience in the industry they want to enter.

Top interior design Diploma in Bangalore.
Placements: I have just started this course about a few months ago, therefore I cannot say much in that regard. The placement drive only starts after our interior design Diploma course. The college provides a 100 percent placement assistance, and I find it really hopeful.
Infrastructure: The college is lovely. As an interior design student, I find it absolutely a treat how well-designed the college is. The classrooms are big and spacious. They have glass walls instead of regular ones. It is really beautiful. We do not have an hostel here.
Faculty: The teachers are really helpful. They take us for industry visits, material sports, and many more. Although it has just started, I have heard from the previous batches that their designs are displayed at many exhibitions and shows. So, it is certainly great for our portfolio.

A good college experience with balanced academics, supportive faculty, and decent placements.
Placements: The placement support for our batch was satisfactory and gradually improving every year. Around 60-70 percent of students from my course got placed through campus recruitment. The highest package offered is around 11 LPA-12 LPA, the lowest package is about 5 LPA, and the average package ranges between 4 LPA-7 LPA. Top recruiting companies included mid-size IT firms, agri-based companies, startups, and service organizations, depending on the course. Many students also secured internships (around 50%) in companies related to sales, operations, HR, research, and technical support. Common roles offered were Sales Executive, HR Associate, Junior Analyst, Field Officer, and Management Trainee.
Infrastructure: The college infrastructure is decent and well-maintained. Classrooms are spacious with proper seating, Wi-Fi, and projectors. Laboratories are adequately equipped, and the library has a good collection of books and digital resources. Hostel facilities are satisfactory with clean rooms, regular water supply, and acceptable food quality in the mess. Medical and security facilities are also available on campus.
Faculty: The faculty members are knowledgeable, supportive, and approachable. Most professors explain concepts clearly and are open to doubt-solving sessions. The curriculum is industry-oriented and covers both theoretical knowledge and practical exposure. Seminars, presentations, assignments, and project work helped improve communication and professional skills.
Other: Campus life is enjoyable with cultural fests, technical events, sports activities, and club programs conducted every year. These events provide good exposure, teamwork experience, and a refreshing break from academics.
