Placements and Internships

3.5

Placements are pretty good if you lie in the top half of your curriculum. The average package is 7LPA with the highest package going as high as 60LPA (International) and 18LPA (National). The top 10% of students have an average package of 12.5LPA. IBS Hyderabad boasts a 95% On-Campus placement record.
The curriculum also includes a compulsory 3-month Internship after 1st year which allows students to identify their interests based on their internship learnings. This allows them to make more informed decisions about their 2nd-year electives. 

College Infrastructure and Hostel Facilities

4.5

There are 12 Hostel blocks (7 for boys & 5 for girls) with 10 of them with common washrooms and 1 each with attached washrooms for boys and girls respectively. (The rooms with attached washroom cost an additional 10000 per semester. There are two messes each managed by a different service company and unlike most college mess food, the food here is pretty good. There are several canteens within the campus which are open throughout the day. The hostel also has its canteen to help out students with their late-night munchies.
The academics block is beautiful with around 20 LTs(Lecture theatres) and further many more CRs(Classrooms). This is accompanied by a large Auditorium and a Seminar hall. The campus has an indoor sports auditorium for squash, badminton, table tennis, etc. along with an outdoor sports field for cricket and football and courts for lawn tennis and basketball. The college campus is really beautiful and considering it is a residential college for MBA spread across 100acres, most students are seen taking long walks post class hours.

Entrance Exams and Admissions

IBS Hyderabad is a good college for MBA. IBS Hyderabad accepts scores from CAT and IBSAT, followed by a group discussion and PI. The cut-off is 87 percentile. 

Academics and Faculty

4

Classes start from 9:00 AM onwards and go on till 4:30 PM depending on your lecture timings based on your assigned faculty. Each class goes on for 1 hour and 15 minutes followed by a 15-minute break. IBS follows relative marking where students are given grades based on their performance within the classroom across 3 different aspects: CP (Classroom Participation), NCP (Non-Classroom Participation) tests, assignments, and projects and Semester examinations. This builds a healthy competition among peers to excel as everything is relative.

Also, IBS follows the case study methodology in the footsteps of Harvard Business school. 1st-year students get to deal with real-world cases carefully designed by the IBSCDC which is Asia Pacific's largest repository of business management case studies. 2nd-year students get to study the cases straight from Harvard Business school itself. This allows students to get accustomed to the real-world implication of the subjects that are taught in the course curriculum.
