What choice should I make, IBS Hyderabad or Jaipuria Institute of Management Lucknow for an MBA?
Posted On - Jan 20, 2021IBS is known for calling all candidates to Hyderabad for counseling and then informing them that they have been admitted to a different branch of IBS in another location. This does not provide the candidate with the opportunity to go home and make an informed decision based on research.
If you are admitted to the main IBS Hyderabad campus, it would be a good option.
However, other branches of ICFAI are not highly ranked. In that case, the Jaipuria Institute of Management in Lucknow is a better option. The author personally recommends the Jaipuria Institute of Management due to their overall experience there. The institute places a lot of emphasis on the overall grooming of students, and their placement opportunities are a major factor in the recommendation.
Jaipuria Institute of Management is the oldest campus and it ranks 34th amongst all B-Schools in India according to NIRF 2019. It offers three-course PGDM, PGDM in retail management, and PGDM in Financial Services.
The table shows a brief overview of the institutions.

Campus:
- JIM offers a state of the art campus comprising fully equipped conference halls, classrooms, an auditorium with wi-fi facilities.
- JIM has a library that has a rich collection of on-line as well as hardbound books and journals.
- Besides this JIM has indoor and outdoor sports facilities, a swimming pool, and separate well-furnished hostels for men and women are available.
One of the important things to note is that IBS calls all the candidates to the Hyderabad campus. And later informs the students that they got admission to the other branches of IBS. In this situation, students do not get the time to research and make an informed decision.
Keeping all these factors in mind, make an informed decision. You can compare the two institutes based on parameters like City, Campus Location, Your preferred course, Fee, Overall expense, Faculty, Placement Stats.
