IIMB flagship MBA programmes are highly sought after, with 300 students in the programme selected from a pool of 250,000 applicants.
A 100-acre oasis in south Bangalore, the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIMB), 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. 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”. 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. As the global business scenario gets increasingly complex and dynamic, IIMB prepares students for the new world through holistic, innovative and transformative education and provides a challenging academic environment so that students emerge as leaders and entrepreneurs.
IIMB consistently figures among the top business schools in India in domestic and international surveys. In November 2008, a survey by Eduniversal, a unit of SMBG, a consulting firm based in Paris, ranked IIMB as the # 1 Business School in Central Asia and South Asia. The Eduniversal selection endorses IIMB’s international reputation and influence, defined as the capacity of a business school to make a student valuable – and thus to improve their employability – in domestic and international spheres.
In April 2009, IIMB was been ranked among the top ten in the Asia-Pacific region in the QS Global Top Business Schools 2009: The Employer’s Choice published by Quacquarelli Symonds (QS). IIMB is the only Indian management school to rank amongst the top ten, which includes business schools in Australia, Singapore, China and Hong Kong. Significantly, IIMB at sixth place has improved on its ranking from the ninth place it received in the previous 2007-08 report. No wonder then that IIMB continues to be a preferred recruitment destination for global positions.
