ICFAI Business School, Mumbai

IBS Mumbai is an average college around 90% students get placed every year but they don't have aicte approval. Welingkar KJ & ITM are much better college than IBS Mumbai.

Dear Manas,
I would suggest you to go through the college websites as well as the student's feedback from the current batch of the college and than take a wise decision. At the best you can have a visit to the college campus for a better and a clear overview.

AICTE approval is not needed for a PGPM course . Autonomous or private institutes have their own affiliation and that too with government approval . Even IIM, JBIMS, NMIMS, etc are also autonomous universities and have their own affiliation and set of rules and regulations .

PGPM is a course which does not require UGC or AICTE approval . IBS is an autonomous institute and it has its own university like how JBIMS, NMIMS and IIM has of its own .

IBS Hyderabad is good . It has campus facilities, hostel facilities and good placements. It provides excellent exposure and practical knowledge . Rest is up to you .

The placements and campus life In IBS Mumbai is good. There are many clubs and co curricular activities happening in IBS Mumbai . Clubs like Markophilia, Kautaliya, Synergy, Defusion, Sound Street, etc which have a lot of extra curricular activities and a part of IBS Mumbai . Its not just studies but also activities taking place . Yes it is worth .

No it won't create a problem . AICTE approval or UGC recognition in needed only for those people who want to pursue P.HD. or who want to join Government sector. If you want to pursue your career in a big corporate all you require is a good placement with high package . PGPM is a course which does not require UGC recognition or AICTE approval. Hence, many autonomous universities don't have UGC OR AICTE approval or recognition .

College only calls those people who have been selected for the GDPI session not everyone . Secondly only the people who perform with positive attitude, Knowledge and confidence are selected .

IBS Mumbai college is good in terms of campus, placements and faculty . People from different parts of the country like Delhi, Kolkata, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Gujrat, and so on come to IBS Mumbai just for the sake of realising their dreams in Management and getting placed in a good organisation or corporate entity. Average salary package is 6.5 Lakhs. Your 2 years of experience would be beneficial for you in the final placements .

PGPM is a course which does not require UGC recognition or AICTE approval because is a course which is autonomous in nature and has government approval to run such kind of programs . Only problem you may face after doing PGPM is that you can't do P.HD. or government job but you can apply for big corporate giant because companies do accept PGPM as it has equal value like a MBA or PGDM . It is a replica of MBA or PGDM . If you want to pursue P.HD. or want to work in a government sector then you need to do Masters in any elective or field of your choice .
