My journey with IBS is a sweet memory
in my life. In fact, I can put it as pre and
post-IBS life. It has transformed me from
a shy, introvert and novice in banking &
finance into a confident industry ready
financial professional and a leader.
It is a great place that provides the
required arsenal and coaching to chase
and achieve your goals. The teaching
fraternity is the greatest asset that IBS
has. They create warmth and are always
approachable. Further, the extracurricular
activities helped me to sharpen my
leadership skills, which made a significant
difference to my career so far. IBS has
offered me a right blend of theory and
practical knowledge along with right soft
skills that are essential to be successful
in the industry. The case study teaching
methodology is what makes IBS unique
and successful. The depth and breadth of
these case studies greatly motivated me
to push my boundaries and learn more.
The basket of seminars, workshops,
and the institution’s regular interaction
with the industry are some of the great
initiatives that enhance a student’s
learning experience and exposure, which
ultimately makes the student industry
ready and relevant to the present. Thanks
is a small word to express my gratitude.
I am grateful to IBS for creating the right
impact on my life and providing me such
a great learning experience.
The two years at IBS were just not only about landing a job,
but more of developing skills and acquiring knowledge than
studying, and most importantly, broadening my perspective on
problems and life at large. And all the credit goes to the faculty
and curriculum of IBS. The curriculum is designed in such a
way that it involves not only increasing knowledge but honing
soft skills, which help you to progress in your career. My faculty
pushed me to be the better version of myself, they provided with
all possible opportunities and exposure to learn and they kept
finding new ways to make us acquire knowledge. This attitude of
the faculty has stayed with me and helped me in reaching where
I am today in my life. It has been 4 years for me in the corporate
world and all the learning I imbibed at IBS help me every day.
I will forever be thankful to faculty and everyone at IBS for
helping me in getting a better perspective of life and making me
understand ‘IF YOU WANT, YOU CAN and YOU WILL’.
