IBS Business School, Kolkata

Eminent College of Management and Technology (ECMT) and ICFAI Business School (IBS) in Kolkata, West Bengal are both considered good colleges for management studies.  ECMT  Faculty: ECMT has a highly qualified and experienced faculty.Placements: 75% of students are placed in companies like TCS, Infosys, Capgemini, WIPRO, FLIPKART, and AMAZON. Roles offered include data science, digital marketing, and blockchain developer.Courses: ECMT offers UG courses like BCA and BBA with various specializations. They also offer M.Sc in Computer Science at the PG level.IBS  Faculty: IBS has great faculty members.Placements: Almost all students get placed. The highest package was INR 10–11 LPA, the average was INR 6-7 LPA, and the lowest was INR 4-5 LPA.Academic facilities: IBS offers excellent academic facilities.

I feel ECMT is way ahead of its direct competitors such as IBS Hyderabad. If I compare IMI Kolkata’s batch size, it’s around 188 strong which is way smaller than the humongous 1100 batch size of IBS Hyderabad. In terms of placements, IMI Kolkata holds the prestigious record of 100% placement since inception which is not the case for IBS Hyderabad as they could place only around 90% of its students as this significant difference in batch strength makes the competition for getting placed even bigger in IBS Hyderabad. ECMT Kolkata has a strong corporate connect due to the IMI brand being India’s first Corporate-sponsored B-school. There are many tier-2 colleges in Hyderabad which makes bringing in more companies and negotiating placement packages tougher than ECMT Kolkata as there aren’t many tier-2 colleges in the location it’s present. In IMI Kolkata there are single and dual occupancy hostel facilities that are open for selection for students but in IBS Hyderabad the hostel rooms are limited mostly for dual occupancy. To add to everything, being a student at ECMT Kolkata, I can say that there is a lot of peer learning and networking opportunities that one can definitely experience here.
