Located at the foothills of the Shivaliks, Chandigarh is an ideal education hub due to its serene surroundings, and calm and welcoming atmosphere. The city offers several advantages such as facilities for youth activities, libraries, ease of traveling and good accommodation. The city also has the locational advantage of being well connected to Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Delhi, besides being the center of all official activity of Punjab, Haryana & the Union Territory. 

IBS^® Chandigarh, a constituent of the Icfaian Foundation, is now operating in a 3-acre plot in the area of Mohali. The sprawling, landscaped and lush green lawns provide a congenial environment for education and learning. In it, we have state-of-the-art physical and academic infrastructure with a total covered area of 48,000 sq ft.

At IBS^® Chandigarh, future managers are taught how to deal with work pressures and meet the deadlines while keeping overall productivity levels high. We address issues of attitude, team spirit, assertiveness, and patience and help in learning presentation, negotiation and listening skills. Regular counseling helps in effective personality development by nurturing the strengths of students whilst also addressing other areas of concern, if any.

The present academic complex has modern air-conditioned lecture halls with the latest facilities for presentations, with LCD projectors and computers. It has a well-equipped computer lab, a conference room, a spacious auditorium, a fully furnished and active placement cell and a well-stocked library. We also have a recreation room and facilities for indoor as well as outdoor games, in addition to a canteen and excellent parking facilities.

IBS^® Chandigarh has a well-stocked computerized library with a wide range of books on management, IT and e-business, and magazines and journals. The library also takes care of preparation and distribution of study material related to the courses. In the library, the students have round-the-clock access to the EBSCO database, which is an extensive referral guide that provides access to the latest articles in the international journals and periodicals related to management and allied areas. The library also subscribes to the Prowess online database. The database is a storehouse of financial, managerial and economic information on over 10,000 companies.

The campus has a Wi-Fi network with 24-hour net connectivity through a 1024 Kbps capacity leased line. The internet can be accessed from any place in the campus round the clock using laptops. The SPSS and SAS statistical packages, powerful tools used in business analysis are also available to students. Students also use the SAP software package extensively.
 

Since our inception in 2004, the students have had a regular interface and interaction with the industry through projects, internships, seminars, workshops, panel discussions and guided tours. Through these activities, we have covered a range of topics. A healthy competitive spirit is also nurtured through creating and using available opportunities for interaction with other b-school students through organizing and participating in management festivals and management games. These student activities are conducted through a Students Council under the guidance of the Student Activities Coordinator. The aim is holistic development of students.

There are five active clubs. These are the Finance, Cultural, Environment, IT and Sports Clubs. The creation of these clubs offers opportunities to all the students for wider participation.

Activities include regular interaction with the students, career visioning, skill development, industry visits, campus visits and counseling. A placement committee assisted by student representatives coordinate all these activities. Placement efforts are planned, directed and executed to help achieve the maximum for our students.

Students have also successfully conducted various functions ranging from talk shows and seminars, to celebrating festivals/occasions such as Independence Day and Vanmahotsav.

The college magazine Manjushaa sub-edited by the students is regularly published to capture and communicate the thoughts of the students on the campus.

The marketing department is successfully publishing a weekly e-newsletter that brings out the crux of business news during the week and promotes writing from among the staff and students.
 

In order to bring about a greater understanding of the concepts of business and management, a system of seminars, workshops and conferences is effectively adopted at the campus. Every year a national seminar is conducted on a particular area of business which is of current relevance to the industry. The aim is to further the interaction with the industry and debate on relevant issues that need to be addressed. This helps sensitize the students and ignites a need for directed thinking and application of their learning. Some of the major seminars conducted on the campus are:

• Globalisation – Key to an Emerging India

• Retailing – Its Future

• Beliefs and Values as Antecedents to HR Decisions

IBS^® Chandigarh gives utmost importance to quality placements for its management graduates. Placements are a continuous and collaborative activity between the students, faculty and administration. An active Career Management Center is always on its toes to meet the requirements of the growing high profile organizations and aspiring students.
