ICFAI Business School (IBS), Gurgaon

IBS Hyderabad, Jaipur and Dehradun provides the degree of MBA but IBS Gurgaon provides a PGPM degree. By PGPM, I mean to say that it is an autonomous programme which is simply a combination or include the components of both MBA and PGDM. In addition to that, it is also according to the current trends of an industry. The answer to your question is-No. The affiliation won't be an obstacle at the time of placements-Whether through campus or off campus. At the same time, there is an exception of the same. If you want to go for the govt job or for a Ph.D., then in that case, you need to acquire an MBA degree for which there is a different procedure in order to acquire the same. Last but not the least, as I keep on reminding other students that not only IBS, but several other colleges like IIM, MDI etc. do provide PGPM degree which won't cause a trouble for them in case they would like to go for corporate jobs.

Congratulations on your success. You have cleared your first phase. Your second phase will be to strive for the best placements that visit in the campus. For that you need to focus more on the practical knowledge rather than theoritical. In addition to that, your skills and your work experience(If you have any) matters a lot at the time of placements. Your CGPA won't help you for that matter. Although, you need to maintain the same at a certain level as it is required for the selection criteria by the companies at the time of placements. That's all I can say about your query regarding IBS Gurgaon. I hope I answered your question. Secondly, the average package of IBS Gurgaon is Rs. 5-7 lakhs including CTC(Cost to Company). There are also international packages which have offered Rs. 15 lakhs including CTC. Apart from this, in order to know the worth of a college, you should look for the ROI(Return on Investment) of the college. The fees of IBS Gurgaon is Rs. 7 lakhs and the package offered to the students are Rs. 5-6 lakhs including CTC. Last but not the least, minimum and maximum package offered to the students depends upon various factors such as skills, knowledge, work ex etc. All the best!

All campuses are good. But If you are curious about a particular college, then I must tell you that after IBS Hyderabad, IBS Gurgaon and Mumbai are the colleges which are being preferred by most of the students. The reason for the same is that since Mumbai is a financial capital where job opportunities are more as compared to any other city in India, as of now. On the other hand, If you talk about Gurgaon, it is a hub for many reputed companies like Apollo tyres, BMW, Continental, Sapient and many others. Secondly, the companies that visit in IBS Hyderabad do visit in all the other campuses of the ICFAI Business School. The only difference is the packages offered to the students which ultimately depends on the ROI(Return on Investments). It means that the fees of IBS Gurgaon is Rs. 7 lakhs and there is an average package of Rs. 5-6 lakhs whereas the fees of IBS Hyderabad is Rs. 14 lakhs and the average package is Rs. 11-12 Lakhs. There are many reputed companies which do come to IBS Gurgaon. Big 4's, do come to Ibs gurgaon every year. Companies like Oyo rooms,Expedia,CB Richards,Exponential,Copal Amba,Proctivity,Thomas International along with many others do come to IBS gurgaon. There are also international packages which do offers more than Rs 15 lakhs including CTC. Lastly, your query regarding work experience, it adds value to a profile of an individual but if you don't have the same, it will not be an issue since you are fresher.

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.

On the payment of Rs. 25,000, you will be awarded with a degree of an MBA from IBS Gurgaon. As I keep telling other students, IBS Hyderabad, Jaipur and Dehradun provides the degree of MBA and IBS Gurgaon provides a PGPM degree. You can pursue the two at the same time since the examinations of an MBA will be held in the month of June/July/December/January every year and are conducted on Online/Computer based test mode. As far as your query regarding the two courses is concerned, the examinations for the two will not clash at the same time since the examinations for the pgpm will held in the month of August and December(Mid terms) and September and February(1st and 2nd semesters respectively). All you have to do is-Manage and manage it well.

From the college itself. There will be no difference as far as company and placements are concerned. Companies visiting the campuses are least bothered about the degree or diploma an individual is holding. All they(company) is interested in various traits such as skills, hard work, smart work, innovation, complete involvement, ownership and managing things in an effective and efficient manner. Apart from corporates, in case of government jobs, degree of MBA is a must. In addition to that, If an individual wants to go for Ph.D., the degree of same is required. That's the only difference between the two and no other difference exists as far as I am concerned.
