IBS has a 30-year legacy of excellence in management education, successfully shaping leaders across diverse academic streams. While a majority of our alumni are commerce graduates, we're equally strong in transforming Science and Engineering graduates into successful business leaders.
The science graduates having a degree in Pharmacy, Agriculture, Dentistry, or general science, and engineering graduates possess a unique advantage: a disciplined, analytical, and systems-oriented mind. IBS helps in leveraging these strengths to tackle business challenges in management using the case-based teaching method. This diversity in solving business challenges also helps peers in understanding and realizing problems from a different perspective than they would have seen, thus enhancing overall comprehension and improving problem-solving skills.
Pharmacy graduates, with their methodical thinking, excel in data-driven roles such as analytics, compliance, finance, and banking operations.
Agriculture graduates’ systems thinking—understanding the seasons, weather patterns, and waiting for long-term outcomes—is perfect for risk assessment, financial planning, and supply chain management.
Dentistry graduates bring a blend of precision and empathy, making them effective in client-facing, business development, and customer strategy roles.
General science graduates with Physics, Chemistry, or Biology as a major will have a strong scientific aptitude for reasoning and innovation, which can be applied to new product or service recommendations.
Engineers find that a management degree accelerates their career, transitioning them from a technical specialist to a generalist in demand across the IT and ITES sectors. Their strong quantitative skills give them a distinct edge in modern business operations, which are increasingly reliant on AI, digital marketing, and Industry 4.0 technologies.
This diversified scientific and technical foundation from their graduation is highly valued by our top recruiters from the 1000+ networking companies. With the addition of Global Capability Centers (GCCs), this value is increasing even more.
The MBA/PGPM program at the nine IBS campuses is designed to build upon this foundation, focusing on experiential learning to impart industry-ready skills. The curriculum features an extensive use of case studies, live projects, and peer learning, ensuring you learn by doing, and includes a mandatory 14-week internship.
A key differentiator at IBS's nine campuses is the focus on practical tools and industry-ready skills. Students gain hands-on expertise with industry-standard technology through Bloomberg and SAP Labs. Access to Bloomberg Terminals allows them to work in simulated market environments, gaining real-time expertise in global financial analysis, which is critical for finance and consulting roles. Similarly, exposure to SAP Labs prepares students for the workplace by familiarizing them with integrated Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, which is highly valued by recruiters in business operations and IT.
Admissions for the MBA/PGPM 2026-28 batch across all nine IBS campuses are currently open through IBSAT 2025. This aptitude test, which is similar to the CAT, is scheduled for December 27th and 28th. The top 500 candidates in the IBSAT 2025 Test have the opportunity to secure a ₹2 Lakh scholarship.
