This diversity fosters innovation and continuous learning among peers. The MBA program at SIBM Bengaluru stands as a melting pot of varied perspectives and experiences, creating a dynamic environment for management education.
Students from Varied Academic Backgrounds
The SIBM Bengaluru MBA batch is a unique blend of students from different disciplines — dentists, company secretaries, UPSC aspirants, entrepreneurs, pure science graduates, engineers, and commerce students. This mix ensures cross-learning and promotes an inclusive academic culture.
One such student from the Batch of 2020–22, who pursued Fashion Technology from NIFT Bangalore, shares her story. During her four-year undergraduate program, she explored the technical side of fashion and gained practical exposure through internships and industrial training. Later, she joined Uniqlo, a leading Japanese apparel brand, where she enhanced her understanding of the apparel industry.
Her professional experience inspired her to pursue an MBA from SIBM Bengaluru, aiming to explore leadership opportunities and move closer to her dream of taking up managerial roles in the fashion industry.
From Civil Services to Corporate Leadership
Another student, a National Level Archer and UPSC interview candidate (2018), narrates his journey. Despite his achievements, his entrepreneurial spirit drove him to explore new avenues for social impact. He chose SIBM Bengaluru to gain high-quality management education and prepare for leading his own enterprise.
SIBM Bengaluru provides a platform for individuals like him to engage in healthy discussions, share ideas, and develop managerial skills that go beyond textbooks.
Learning Beyond Classrooms
Located in the IT hub of India, SIBM Bengaluru offers a vibrant and student-centric campus. Every day is filled with interactive sessions, cultural activities, and leadership-building events. Students are encouraged to participate, challenge their limits, and grow both personally and professionally.
The strong sense of bonding among students broadens their horizons and fosters teamwork. The institute ensures that every student experiences a meaningful and rewarding learning journey.
Journey Begins with the SNAP Entrance Test
The path to SIBM Bengaluru’s MBA program begins with the SNAP entrance test — the first step toward an exciting academic journey. The test evaluates decision-making and problem-solving abilities, helping identify students ready to thrive in a competitive management environment.
Following SNAP, candidates go through the GEPIWAT (Group Exercise, Personal Interview, and Written Ability Test). These stages assess analytical ability, communication, and leadership potential — ensuring that only the most deserving students join the SIBM community.
Hospitality Meets Management
Another inspiring story comes from a student with a background in Hotel Management. Having worked in the hospitality and tourism sector, he discovered that hotels involve more than just front-end service — they also have a complex corporate structure.
While Hotel Management taught him operational excellence, pursuing an MBA at SIBM Bengaluru equipped him with corporate insights, business analytics, and strategic thinking skills. The institute’s strong industry connections with brands like ITC Hotels and OYO open excellent placement opportunities in the tourism and hospitality domain.
Psychology and Management – A Unique Blend
A psychology graduate from the same batch shares how her fascination with human behaviour evolved into an interest in industrial psychology and consumer behaviour. She realized the growing relevance of psychology in business and leadership.
Her decision to pursue an MBA from SIBM Bengaluru helped her blend behavioural science with management studies, offering her a platform to develop into a well-rounded professional.
