Placement at IBS this year was amazing. Compare to last year, average CTC has increased and majority of students got placed within first 3 months of placement. Many new companies have joined IBS for recruitment purpose such as Barclays. Coming to MBA, it was a very good experience at IBS Hyderabad. We could get knowledge from any institution, but practical application of knowledge into real world through case studies is provided by only IBS in India. Even faculties are ready to help students to excel in their respective domain, other than for the academic curriculum. So yes, doing MBA from IBS Hyderabad was a very good decision and I’m feeling proud to be part of such a great institution.

There was this talk by Mr. Anirudh Tara, Director and Partner at BCG that I came across where he highlighted the disproportionate impact that a relatively small team of consultants can have on a much larger firm’s bottom line, or their operational efficiency for that matter. That thought is something that enthralls me. I have always wanted to be a part of the financial consultancy sector and getting placed in KPMG in the risk division was a dream come true. I focused on the basics of corporate finance, accountancy and bits and parts of valuation while preparing for my interviews. KPMG India had a 3 rounds. The first two of which were completely technical. The third was an interview with the partner of the firm which was a mix HR and technical.

Starting my Marketing Career with the 3rd largest Private Sector Bank in India is a significant accomplishment for me. And it was quiet unpredictable for me to get placed in Axis Bank as I never thought that being a core marketing student I will be working in a Banking Sector All this started with preparing for the placement by brushing up all the marketing concepts which helped me a lot in cracking various rounds of the placement process. The placement process for Axis Bank consist of two steps the first round was Resume Shortlisting followed by Interview. The interview round was mostly focused on Internship and understanding of the banking sector. Overall it was a great experience for me

MBAs need to be more rational, practical and observational at IBSH. We have to understand frameworks, there implementation and what can be a game changer in the longer run. Placements are doing fairly good. The impact of a good batch can change the numbers for better.

MBA is not a about assignments and grades, it values consistency, initiative as you embark yourself on a 2 year rollercoaster journey to achieve your goals and on the way making new friends and connections to help you do so.
