IBSAT 2024 : 3 Answered QuestionsView All

• Top Answer By Parneet Kaur on 24-Feb-2023

Ans. You do not have to worry about a cutoff for IBS Hyderabad. Your IBSAT scores and individual subjects scores are not revealed to you. You will receive a direct call for GD-PI, which is a crucial factor in determining which IBS campus you will be allotted to. To increase your chances of getting a call, it is recommended that you attempt all questions during IBSAT as there is no negative marking. The competition begins with the GD-PI process, as IBS Hyderabad scans about 20,000 shortlisted candidates for over 10 days, out of which only 1200 students are selected for the main campus, while the rest are allotted to other campuses based on their individual preferences. To stand out in the process, you must work hard. If your goal is to get into IBS Hyderabad next year, it is advisable to focus on preparing for the GD-PI round. If you have a decent aptitude, you should be able to clear the IBSAT. Read more

Ans. Your IBSAT score is not the only determining factor for admission to IBS Hyderabad. Your performance in the Group Discussion (GD) and Personal Interview (PI) rounds, as well as your academic background, will also be considered. It is advisable to prepare well for these rounds. However, the return on investment (ROI) at IBS Hyderabad is relatively low. During the 2022 placement season, the college recorded a placement rate of 99%. The average package offered was INR 8.71 LPA, with the highest international and domestic packages being INR 53.45 LPA and INR 21 LPA, respectively. Despite these strong numbers, the cost of studying at IBS Hyderabad is relatively high, with students expected to spend 16 to 18 lakhs on their education. Additionally, given that the college enrolls over 1200 students each year, competition for placements and other opportunities is intense. One advantage of studying at IBS Hyderabad is the opportunity to network with a diverse group of students from all over India. Whether you are able to fully take advantage of these opportunities will depend on your individual initiative and effort. Read more

Ans. Firstly, ISB Hyderabad has no cutoff whatsoever. In fact, the marks of ISBAT and individual subjects are not revealed ever. The eligible candidates directly receive a call inviting them to the GD-PI process. So attempting the test with full confidence and preparation is more than enough to get the call. Since there is no negative marking you can attempt as many questions as possible. The main struggle starts post-ISBAT if you get selected for GD-PI. From around 20000 shortlisted candidates only 1200 are selected for the main campus. So instead of ISBAT, your main focus should be on preparing for the GD-PI round. Anyone with decent aptitude skills can get shortlisted but only a few who have an extraordinary profile and stand out from the crowd can get selected during the GD-PI process. Read more
