ICFAI Business School (IBS) Gurgaon Answered Questions

CPA, I believe is a Certified Public Accountant, is a professional course which is different from Chartered Accountant(CA) or Chartered Professional Accountant. As far as I am concerned, any professional course does not need any degree from any college(Being it a graduation or post-graduation). But do take an advice from an expert regarding the same. Apart from this, your post-graduation will not be affected by any professional course. In fact, it will add value to your work-experience. All you need to do is manage your time effectively and efficiently but I would suggest you to pursue one thing at a time.

Yes IBS Mumbai is a very good college. The PGPM degree will not make much of a difference as the brand name of IBS is really good.IBS Mumbai is especially a good option if you are interested in pursuing MBA in finance. For marketing IBS Gurgaon will be a better option.

We get twice a week guest lectures where dignities from corporate addresses us and nourishes our minds with actual scenario of the corporate world. Students coming up with innovations and new ideas are appreciated and encouraged. Recently we had a national symposium "ENCHAINER 2K16" and on the same day one of our finest student Miss.

Getting opportunity in the top 10 colleges like IIM's, MDI, Christ, IBS Hyderabad etc. is a dream come true for the students. These colleges not only provide degree but also an exposure which is as per the current trends of an industry. Although all the colleges have their own merits and demerits. You have to choose a particular college on the basis of your preferences such as location, fees, merit, value addition, Return on investments, Placements etc. Apart from this, college alone cannot help you to achieve your desired goals. Your skills and your knowledge also matters a lot. That's all I can say right now. It's ultimately your decision which college suits you the most. All the best for your bright future.
