Learning Methodology

The learning methodology at IBS is built on the principle of continuous learning. We believe that learning is not confined to classrooms alone; it extends to everything around us—our surroundings, experiences, and the events unfolding in the world.

IBS is among the very few management schools in India to follow a 100% case method approach. This method places students in the role of decision-makers, sharpening their analytical skills with the realism of business situations. The case method, made famous by Harvard Business School and adopted by leading management institutes worldwide, ensures that students engage with practical, real-world scenarios rather than just theoretical models. At its core, the method adopts the Socratic style of learning, where questions are posed sequentially and debated rigorously. Instead of the conventional one-to-many lecture format, it becomes a many-to-many process, with teachers and students collaboratively advancing the analysis.

In today’s interconnected and fast-changing world, communication skills are as vital as technical knowledge. A manager’s role is often defined by the ability to communicate a vision and strategy effectively, persuading others to work together towards common goals. IBS places a strong emphasis on nurturing communication and interpersonal skills in the leaders it prepares for the business world. These skills are not only assessed but also honed through a rigorous, experiential learning process that encourages learning by doing in a dynamic and informal setting.

The learning methodology at IBS has been inspired by the best global practices, refined through years of experience, and is constantly updated to remain in line with international standards. It is a model that combines tradition with innovation and equips students to meet the challenges of modern business with confidence. Come, be part of the transformation that awaits you at IBS.
