Why I choose to do an Executive MBA
from IBS-Hyderabad?
I researched many different programs and
schools before I chose to apply to IBS. I
spoke to different admissions recruiters
learning about their respective Exe. MBA
programs, and most were the same online experience.
During my Exe. MBA, I was able to build on what I have
learned over my career thus far and gained a more wellrounded business
skillset. The design of the program is the
best of both worlds.
The Executive MBA degree allowed me to gain leadership skills and better understand financial and managerial outcomes of the different decisions that I am forced to take as part of my day-to-day activities. In addition to providing a core curriculum featuring finance, marketing, accounting, and operations, Exe. MBA program also taught soft skills and helped me gain an outside perspective on business.

Head , Texhnology Centre -OC Tanner India Pvt.Ltd. (Class of 2021)
Pursuing an MBA with a job was a very tough decision for me. Executive MBA in IBS is just not like any other MBA, we had to attend full day classes on every Sunday and second Saturdays. IBS provided comfortable atmosphere with only limited no of students per class. The professors that taught us were subject matter experts with many years of teaching experience.
I, being a science and technology student easily grasped the concepts of cost accounting, financial management, economics, and business law with help of the expert faculty. The assignments were designed to reinforce our learnings. The support from the support staff is also something that made the journey smooth .I definitely recommend Executive MBA from IBS if you are opting for one.

I am very happy with the Executive MBA program offered by ICFAI business school. I was part of the batch of 2016-2018. The college has very good faculty and facilities. Faculty was very flexible to accommodate requests to balance our working schedules and the classes. There is immediate attention at the highest level, right from the Director through all the concerned departments, in case of any issues or requests raised. There are a lot of case studies taken through as part of the program. The library is very exhaustive, both for hard copies of books as well as the online repository. Learning is a continuous process and does not stop at any age; and getting a right school like IBS, will only keep that enthusiasm continued.
IT Manager, Novartis, Hyderabad. ( Class of 2018)
I represent 2016 Executive MBA batch of IBS. Though a Mechanical engineer graduated in 2005 from CBIT, Sales and Marketing has been my career choice as I fully enjoyed the opportunity to interact and work with the industry leaders, while partnering with them in their growth journey. I had an opportunity to work with multinational giants such as SHV Holdings, Bose Corporation, Saint -Gobain Glass, Armstrong World Industries etc.,
I had the practical knowledge of business management but I wasn’t great at business jargon. To step up my professional business acumen, I was looking at joining an executive MBA program and was considering various options till I visited IBS campus in May 2016. I was well impressed by the unique case-based pedagogy, a teaching approach practiced at IBS. With case studies of critical acclaim being discussed in the classroom with well experienced professors, we had many interactive knowledge sharing/gaining sessions - which focused on applied learning. Executive MBA teaching staff at IBS are the professors with many years of field experience with varied MNCs, which helps them to connect and quote real-time examples of various situations handled by them, while explaining some concepts. I thoroughly enjoyed my learning experience at IBS and I have passed out in 2018 with 9.66 CGPA. I fully recommend the Executive MBA program at IBS to the working professionals.” Read MoreSteelcase Inc, Regional Business Head (Class of 2018)
