Hello Ashutosh,

Being a current student from IBS Hyderabad, I would be able to answer your question.

ICFAI UNIVERSITY status is only for Hyderabad,Dehradun Campus so they provide MBA Degree. Rest 7 Campus provide PGPM

Talking about difference :

MBA - Since,It comes under ICFAI UNIVERSITY it gives MBA Degree which is valid for govt jobs and foreign studies too.

PGPM - IBS Campus like Mumbai, Pune, Gurgaon,and other 4 campus offer PGPM Program. It's basically a course certificate. Since, it gives PGPM which is not recognised by AIU And UGC it doesn't​ have that value and govt jobs and foreign studies scope​ is less.As its just a certificate without any recognition.

IIM too gives PGPM , but its recognised by AIU And UGC

PGDM - No IBS Campus offers it, but PGDM Course to be valued should be both AIU and UGC registered so that it can be equivalent to MBA anf it is considered for govt and higher studies.


Talking about IBS Campus,

Only IBS Hyderabad is better than others, due to many reasons like PGPM.

IBS Hyderabad is among Top Bschool , NIRF Rank -22
IBS Hyderabad has average package lf around 7.91L and around 95% placement statistics for lst year with highest National being 28L and Lowest is 4.5L.


Its quite a good Bschool, if you are amongst the top 40% of your batch (Only disadvantage is high batch strength of 1000+) but if you can prove yourself, door are always open !!

I would suggest if you think you can be top 40% of your batch, then its good and there are ample of opportunities here to learn and through purely practical learning approach by case study method.I would suggest you to give IBSAT along with CAT, as your primary focus should be IIM and then other top Bschool like IBS -Hyd.

Hope it clears your doubt and query.
All the best for your future endeavours .

Hi,

I would say ICFAI is one of the best institute to start MBA in. It is versatile, it gives an overall idea about market and corporate. Also the case baser study system is a charm.

The schedule here is very tight, and tiring. But time management makes it easier and that is what we learn over here.

Now we have got 33 clubs in the colj for various purposes like studies sports dance singing etc, getting into these itself is a huge task, you need talent and skills. But once you get in here its heaven. You learn you teach you improve in ICFAI.

For MBA we have finance, marketing, HR, operation, analytics available.

Do consider i fai for your career.

All the best

Yess all the colleges under icfai are good. You cna go fofor qny option but keep hyderabad, mumbai, pune are the top on the list.Also mba nd pgdm are similar, its just that mba allows to apply for government jobs but if you do pgdm you cannot use that degree for government jobs. Other than this no differnce  is there.Ibsat is very simple. If you prepare for cat you can easily crack ibsat
