The right knowledge is clearly a critical success factor in business.

As practice precedes theory in business, equal emphasisis placed on concepts and applications. This blending of ideas and actions is achieved through

various pedagogic techniques like lectures, case studies, business games, the summer internshipprogram, the management research project, etc.

Skills

What matters most in business is what one can actually do. Doing well implies mastering andapplying the skills - professional, personal and human - required for effective decision-makingand execution. IBS trains the students in these skills through a series of soft-skills lab sessions

scheduled over the duration of the program. In addition, case-based learning at IBS helpsstudents develop good analytical skills.

from our surroundings and the events that are taking place around us.

IBS is one of the very few management schools in India to have a 100% case method focus.

The case method, made famous by the Harvard Business School, is usedworld over by leading management institutes. The case method adopts the Socratic way oflearning. In this method, questions are posed one after the other and alternatives are debatedover. This kind of learning is not one-to-many as in a lecture but many-to-many with bothteachers and students taking the analysis forward.

In the networked world of today, communication skills are becoming very important. Amanager's main role is to communicate his/her vision and strategy to others and get them to workwith him/her towards that vision. IBS places special importance on the communication and

interpersonal skills of the leaders that it sends out into the business world. The students' skills aretested and then fine-tuned through a rigorous yet informal method of learning through doing.

necessary that students are able to look after their health and let out steam once in a while. Inorder to transform students into healthy managers, with all-round development, IBS provides amultitude of opportunities for sports and other extracurricular activities.

There is much more to learn outside the classroom and lot of chances for interactions with fellow

students. Every student on campus leaves not just with a degree but also with friendships andbonds that last a lifetime. The student community at IBS is truly diverse; the students come fromdifferent states, social and cultural backgrounds, and walks of life. As they become a part of theIBS community, they get an unparalleled exposure to different cultures, languages and ways ofliving.

Several student activities are directed towards extending the classroom learning experience. Suchactivities include organizing seminars on contemporary management issues, publishing in-house

contemporary issues. The clubs and committees organize quizzes and debates, and meetfrequently to discuss new ideas, issues, and developments in their areas of interest.

Students participate in sports and games at the well equipped Sports Activities Center as well asthe swimming pool on campus. It provides much needed relaxation, exercise as well as a chanceto compete and work as a team.
