Who are some of the best professors at IIM Bangalore and why?

RD
Radhe Krishna Dutta Posted On : January 5th, 2023
Staying hungry. Staying wise.

YLR Moorthi: If genius is made up of 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration, then YLR's classes are made up of 50% inspiration and 50% perspiration. His classes typically experience an Aha or Eureka moment.

Every class begins with a presentation by a student team. During the Q&A session that follows, he makes every single student sweat, both mentally and physically.

The following are some of his suggestions that you will remember for the rest of your life. They may appear to be so simple, but only when said emphatically by him in the most appropriate context do those words become ingrained in you:
 

  1. Money can be found wherever there is an annoyance.
  2. Everything in this world can be summed up in a single word or sentence. Brevity is synonymous with wit.
  3. Don't just read passively; Begin challenging the author's ideas; just because someone is a Kotler or a Keller doesn't mean he is always correct.
  4. When considering any business, consider three factors: idea, monetization, and execution. To be successful, it must pass all three tests.

Apart from that, he recommends books, authors, and movies in each of his classes. His stories and examples stick with you.

Are the figures of IIM Bangalore placement report true or are inflated?

EG
Epil Gagrai Posted On : April 16th, 2024

The placement report of IIM Bangalore is rounded off and not inflated. Even though they don't follow the IPRS and auditing, the students reveal it is not inflated and is true to itself. 

The placement report generally shows the CTC of the students, which includes various components like the fixed salary, one-time joining bonus, variable, ESOPS (if any), etc. The MBA aspirants need to understand that they are looking at the CTC and not the fixed salary. 

IIM Bangalore itself ranks among the top 3 B-schools in our country, so it is mostly true to itself. Considering the current economic market condition, there is a chance that the placement figures can be published a little bit inflated. But still, you can trust the figures they publish on their official websites and LinkedIn.
