IBS Business School, Hyderabad

I appeared for CAT and MAT exam and scored CAT 82.5% and MAT 99.7 %. I went around to find a good management institute in Delhi and visited quite a few colleges. But when I came to EMPI the first thing which struck me was the green campus. Then after meeting the students who gave me a positive review about the faculty, facilities and the MNC collaborations made me go for EMPI. The faculty is one of the best industry professionals who make sure they bring out the best in a student. The students are well trained with the help of management competitions and academics. Talking about the recent placements and the major recruiters are some of the top MNCs like ITC Ltd, OYO Rooms, Berger Paints, Aditya Birla, Nucleus Software, Lotte Advance Material, Fiat, Deutsche Bank, Capital IQ, 95FM, CCD, Mudra Communications, Adglobal360, Lesso Buildtech, E&Y, Genpact, Reliance Capital, WNS, Ameriprise Financial, HikVision, ICICI Securities, etc. You will get a faculty mentor who will help you throughout your 2years of EMPI. The strong Alumni base who are at C-Level position helps most of the students to get placed in top MNCs. So you should definitely consider EMPI B-School in Delhi.

IBS, Hyderabad is a deemed to be university and is UGC recognised and offers a 2-year full-time MBA programme which is a residential programme. AICTE approval is only given to autonomous institutes which offer post-graduate Diplomas (which are again equivalent to 2 year MBA programme). On the other hand, IBS, Mumbai is affiliated to the Hyderabad and is not AICTE approved and offers a 2-year full-time postgraduate programme in management (PGPM). I personally don't think that having an AICTE approval would matter because every year lots of companies visit the campus for placements. So, as far as the college is providing placements, AICTE approval will not be an issue because at the time of your interviews, companies will look for what have you done in 2 years and not AICTE/UGC for that matter. Also, IBS-Mumbai offers a parallel MBA degree programme also which is awarded by ICFAI University, Dehradun which is a UGC recognised university and that programme runs paralelly with your PGPM programme if you wish to opt for it.
PS: I myself is an MBA graduate of IBS, Mumbai and also applied for MBA degree offered by ICFAI University, Dehradun and also got placed with a good company on time. The only issue is of intake. There the real competition comes in.
Rest all is fine.
