A: 

For admission to the MBA programme at Bengaluru Central University (BCU), they primarily rely on scores from the Karnataka PGCET (Karnataka Postgraduate Common Entrance Test).

While KPGCET holds the top spot, BCU accepts any of these other scores if you haven't taken KPGCET or haven't achieved a satisfactory score. However, remember that KPGCET scores carry more weight in the selection process for BCU's MBA program.

Not at all use for others.
Placements: 100 students are registered in a course, but no one has got the placement, and the placement programme has not started. It is just a scam. No one has gotten any package. Internship is also not provided. No role has been gained. We have to search for jobs after our education. The college just gives normal coaching.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is also less compared to other colleges. The playground is also not there, and the library is small with limited books. The auditorium is also small. The hostel is like a PG. We don't have any specific sports, and guidelines are also not there. Medical facilities are not provided by the college. The canteen is good and big.
Faculty: The teachers are good, but some teachers do not teach well. The syllabus is also not complete for theory students, and there are no proper guidelines for the students regarding practical subjects. The teaching knowledge is less, and an MBA is very easy and not useful in doing BCU.
Other: Almost all I have given our college; it is new, developing, and under construction.

Reality of the International Institute of Business Studies.
Placements: The college claims 80% of the students are placed every year, but in reality, it is around 70% only. The college claims that the Udaipur-wide average package for PGDM is 14.1 Lacs per annum, and the highest package is 56 Lacs per annum. However, the college is bringing in only online course-selling companies.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is not so good. They have a small campus, and the infrastructure is also not good. They don't have a proper library, and the cafeteria is very expensive. They have opened their own café, which is also very expensive.
Faculty: The faculty of IIBS is quite good. They are well-educated, and their teaching style is also good. The price of the PGDM course is 8.45 Lacs rupees for 2 years, and they charge 3600 as exam form fees per semester, or you can say, each trimester. So, you can say it is value for money.

Satisfied because of faculty members, dissatisfied because of programs.
Placements: The college provides a good placement facility. And every senior is happy with the college. I am also happy, and I hope everyone will like the college on the basis of study. The programs that the college is providing are not good but studying at the college is good.
Infrastructure: The hostel is good but not affordable for me. The hostel food is also good but I am from Kerala so I don't like the food from the hostel. I prefer the Kerala type of food so I chose PG, which is 7 km away from the college in the best area. I have good food now, but I only like Kerala food .
Faculty: Their study material and notes are mostly relevant to the curriculum for this course. Faculties are friendly, the curriculum is great, and exams are good because we have great faculty members to help us prepare for exams. I like the intelligence of faculty members.
Other: The college doesn't have a good festival celebration or anything; even the sports are not good; they don't provide football and they don't have a field of their own.

A college with good faculty members and infrastructure.
Placements: All students get placed in our course. The salary package offered is 10 LPA. Akshayakalpa sides farm and other agricultural companies like Agricison, Deccan, Mudra, Bighaat, Big Basket, and seed fertilizer companies visit the college for placements. We also get placed in food industry companies and all agricultural companies.
Infrastructure: Our college has a free Wi-Fi facility. There are labs, and we have a canteen in our college. A medical room is available. Sports time is there for playing.
Faculty: Teachers are qualified and their teaching is of high quality. The course curriculum is good and relevant to industry subjects. They are teaching the topics that are related to the industry. Semester exams are not tough because we can write the practical knowledge. Faculty members will teach in multiple languages. The guidance provided by the faculty members is very good. They are available at any time to clear our doubts.
Other: I chose this course because it is good for future growth. Our college should improve practical knowledge and infrastructure. Our college organise a fest and it has good surroundings.

Best PGDM College in Bangalore.
Placements: The campus has a record of 100% placements. The average salary package offered in 2023 was around 14 LPA. The college has a good range of companies coming for placements. All managerial roles are offered in very good and reputable companies.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is amazing. The campus is well-maintained. Our classrooms are neat and tidy. IIBS has provided me with a truly enriching experience throughout my time here. They are highly knowledgeable and dedicated.
Faculty: The college conducts examinations on a trimester basis. We also have mid-term examinations and assignments which are used for evaluation purposes. IIBS College has been an incredible platform for personal and professional growth. Faculty members are highly knowledgeable and approachable. They always encourage us to excel. They are dedicated. They offered a blend of practical and theoretical learning that has helped me gain in-depth insights into my field.
Other: The PGDM course is value for money considering the fee structure of other B-Schools in Bangalore.

If you are joining for the reason of placements a big NO for you.
Placements: Only 20% of students are placed that to only for internships and another 5% for sales jobs. The placement is the worst on the campus. Only LSEG, EXL are the big companies that are coming to campus that too for only internships others are all like sales-related companies like housing. Com, Skillvertex, and ESaf.
Infrastructure: The classrooms are small with basic infrastructure. The library is average with some books. Wi-Fi and computer labs are there. The MBA students are not allocated college hostels.
Faculty: The quality of education is good, some faculty members have Ph.D. and some are doing Ph.D. They are friendly and helpful to them. The guest lecturers also teach nicely.
