Indian Institute of Management in Bangalore with its all-stone architecture, lush verdant
woods and landscaped gardens provides an idyllic environment to engage in management
studies, academics and learning. IIMB has world-class infrastructure that facilitates
excellence in teaching, research, consulting and other professional activities.
Located in India’s high technology capital, IIMB is in close proximity to some of the leading
corporate houses in the country, ranging from information technology to consumer product
companies, giving it the added advantage of integrating classroom knowledge with practical
experience.
Established in 1973, the Institute has since then built on its base of highly accomplished
faculty, world class infrastructure and motivated student body to emerge as one of the premier
institutes for management education and research promoting managerial excellence in the
country. IIMB strives to achieve excellence through partnerships with industry, and leading
academic institutions, the world over. IIMB’s mission is to “build leaders through holistic,
transformative and innovative education.”
The long-duration post-graduate programmes of the Institute comprise the flagship Post
Graduate Programme in Management (PGP); the Post Graduate Programme in Software
Enterprise Management (PGSEM); the Post Graduate Programme in Public Policy and
Management (PGPPM); the one year full-time Executive Post Graduate Programme in
Management (EPGP), and the Fellow Programme in Management(FPM), which is a doctoral
programme. As such, IIMB offers courses relevant for each of the three segments of the
managerial hierarchy. All these programmes are very highly rated and IIMB alumni occupy
senior managerial and academic positions across the globe.
IIMB has always been a hub of innovative activity and is continuously on the lookout for
opportunities to collaborate with the industry as well as other academic institutions the world
over. Innovation and research at the Institute has been given a fillip with the establishment of
Centres of Excellence in various areas ranging from Public Policy and Corporate Governance
to Insurance to Financial Markets and Risk Management. The N.S Raghavan Centre for
Entrepreneurial Learning is a catalyst for entrepreneurial activity and a well-known
incubation centre for startup ventures.
A feature that sets apart IIMB from other B-schools is the carefully selected mix of students
with diversity as a stated objective so that students can leverage from each other’s experience
in addition to theoretical studies in the classroom, thereby creating a truly enriching learning
experience. The Institute also has the largest Student Exchange Programme amongst all B-
schools in India with several partner universities across North America, Europe and Australia.
School policies for PGP program (MBA) are very strict and students need to commit to the
program full-time moving to the campus hostels. Every first year course is to special grading
called S curve. It means that certain amount of people has to fail the class and the grades are
also distributed accordingly. That is why there is very strong competition among students and
it makes the program very famous and valuable among future employers.
In the Post Graduate Programme in Management (PGPM), IIMB offers compulsory (required)
courses and electives in the following areas:Finance & Control, Marketing,, Corporate
Strategy and Policy, Organisational Behaviour & Human Resources Management, Production
and Operations Management, Quantitative Methods and Information Systems, Economic and
Social Sciences.
The core courses are offered only in the first year of the PGPM. As exchange students are
admitted into one of the terms in the second year of the PGPM, all the courses available for
exchange students are elective courses. Selection to PGPM electives is open to all exchange
students in the normal course of graduate student exchange. As is the case for IIMB’s
PGPM students, exchange students may also be allowed to take one or two courses offered in
the Post Graduate Programme in Software Enterprise Management (PGSEM) or the Executive
Post Graduate Programme in Management (EPGP).
100%, all courses are taught in English only so fluency in English is compulsory.
PGPM students at IIMB take a minimum of 12 and a maximum of 18 credits per term.
Courses are usually 3 credits each. One credit implies ten classroom contact hours for the
course during the term. For every hour of classroom contact, most courses will require an
average of about two hours of work outside the classroom in the form of readings,
assignments, projects etc. The hours of preparation for each classroom session could vary
from two hours to four hours, depending upon the nature of the course. Students would be
well-advised to get clarity on this aspect while planning their course commitments.
Minimum attendance of 75 percent is required in every course. The PGP Office will keep a
record of attendance in all courses. Students who do not meet the minimum attendance norm
in a course will be awarded one full grade point lower than that secured by them in that course.
This will be done by the PGP Office and the teaching faculty concerned will be informed of
the same.
