Student Life @ Campus : The student community at IBS is truly diverse; students come from different states, social and cultural backgrounds, and all walks of life. They become a part of the IBS community, and get an unparalleled exposure to different cultures, languages and ways of living.

You can easily remain connected thru the various social, networking and own IBS sites..These choices given by the IBS to all of its students so as to stay connected with their fellow colleagues  wherever they are…

Each of the IBSian is a special and unique student for the IBS Management and the methods provided above to remain connected are just a way of showing love and care to their students…

I have one live example to quote here as how much care IBS Management does for their students…When we finish our course in Jul’2005, all the students got placed, except for those who did not wish to sit for the placements, in the month of Jan-Mar’2005. There were a bunch of HR Students who got placed but was not happy with the existing employer as the set up for some of the companies were too small to accommodate these students and after a while these students got back to the IBS Management and requested for re-placements for them…as far as I think, these were the days of Jun’2005.

After hearing the story from the students, the management decided to re-start the placements for all those students and the Placement cell was asked to re-approach the companies for the placements…we were actually shocked to see the kind of help that was extended by the IBS management at that point of time to all those students who were not happy with their existing employers..

Eventually, the hard work of the Management paid off in just 2 months and all the students were got placed in some of the big companies and some students were even placed at the MNCs…one of my best friend was also in that group and today he is at Senior Position at Deloitte India and working for last 10 years now…

So as I mentioned earlier that IBS is not just a business school, it is like a book which will be with you forever for your life and each chapter of that book will give you strength and power to conquer the world!!

I am proud to be an IBSian!!
