Remarks:

To apply for IIBS, any MBA exam valid score is required (CAT, XAT). after applying college will arrange a personal interview. After clearing that an HR interview will be done. No GD was taken. There's no certain cutoff criteria available but anything above 60% considered as a good eligibility.

Review about the IIBS Bangalore campus

What I Liked

Campus is very well maintained and it's very hygienic campus.
Infrastructure is not that good but when we consider that it's a business school then it's kind of ok.

What I didn’t like

College is situated very far from the city and it makes very very uncomfortable to travel
College don't offer many activities like sports, dancing etc..

Remarks:

To join this college the college has a 3 step admission process where they first conduct a mock test then they conduct a group discussion round and then they conduct an interview where they ask major questions about our family, hobbies, and our PUC performance.
