HYDERABAD, India : At ICFAI Business School (IBS), the campus placement process is a crucial milestone in a student’s two-year journey. IBS takes a comprehensive approach that prioritizes personalized development, practical skills, and strong industry connections.
From the beginning of their academic session, students undergo assessments to identify their unique interests, strengths, and competencies. This early evaluation sets the stage for a tailored developmental plan.
