ICFAI Business School (IBS) is all set to conduct its Selection Process 2025 for MBA/PGPM admissions across its nine campuses. Committed to shaping the next generation of business leaders, IBS has introduced a dynamic, student-focused approach to the selection process. This year, the traditional Group Discussion has been replaced by a Micro Presentation, giving candidates the chance to showcase their communication, analytical thinking, and leadership skills. The selection rounds will be held from February 15 to February 24, 2025, at the IBS Hyderabad campus.
Exploring the Selection Journey
The IBS selection process is designed to assess more than just academic performance—it evaluates a candidate’s ability to think critically, express ideas clearly, and demonstrate leadership potential. Here’s a step-by-step guide to what you can expect:
Step 1: Welcome & Briefing Session
Your selection journey begins with an introductory session, where senior directors, recruiters, and alumni share insights about IBS’s 30-year legacy in management education. This session is designed to help both you and your parents/guardians understand the selection process and what IBS offers.
Step 2: The Micro Presentation – Your Chance to Shine
In this round, each candidate selects a number between 1 and 100, which determines their presentation topic. You will have one minute to prepare and three minutes to present your ideas to a panel and fellow candidates. If the topic seems challenging, you can change it once. This exercise evaluates your ability to think quickly, articulate ideas effectively, and present with confidence. Unlike a Group Discussion, there are no follow-up questions—just a chance to make a strong impact with your presentation.
Step 3: The Personal Interview – Highlighting Your Aspirations
After the Micro Presentation, the Personal Interview (PI) assesses your career goals, aspirations, and leadership potential. The panel not only evaluates your responses but also looks at your confidence, clarity of thought, and ability to express yourself effectively.
Step 4: Academic Performance Plays a Key Role
Academic performance is an important aspect of the selection process, with scores from your 10th, 12th, and graduation contributing 50% to the final selection weightage. This ensures a comprehensive evaluation of your potential.
With a well-structured and fair selection process, IBS ensures that every aspirant has the opportunity to demonstrate their abilities and prepare for a successful career in management.
