Life in 2 Years!!!

“The 10 years of school are the ones that a person can never forget in his life”, “the graduation years give the best experience”… these statements don’t seem true when you get to experience the life during MBA, especially if it is IBS Hyderabad. The vast campus and the infrastructure is the first thing which attracts students. The second thing is the 100% case study methodology. The institute has a research center called ICFAI Center of Management Research which develops its own case studies which are used as a source of reading material in various other institutions. The pedagogy involves case studies from Harvard as well.

Coming to the students’ point of view and the advantages they get out of this, this method of teaching may be challenging for few students. But the benefits weigh more. Cases, first of all, provide that practical knowledge which cannot be found in textbooks. Apart from that, the challenge which is posed at the students helps them learn more than just finance or marketing. It is the time management that the student learns. We keep hearing that management is not about hard work, it’s about smart work. This is what we learn here. Cases teach us to differentiate between relevant and irrelevant data. A student on an average studies around 500-600 cases, which analyzing companies from 500 to 600 different perspectives. Imagine the bulk of knowledge you gain every day.

But there’s much more apart from cases to look out for in the 2 years. Every student holds a talent and IBS Hyderabad has got the means to showcase it through its clubs. There are clubs for every purpose, be it finance, marketing, arts, sports, movies or social service. This is the part where students learn to develop their personalities, interact with others, work in a team and take decisions.

At IBS Hyderabad, it’s a complete package. There is so much to do that a mere 24 hr day seems so short. It’s a lifetime in just 2 years.
