How academically intense is the MBA at IIM Bangalore?

The first year is extremely challenging because you will be studying subjects that you have never studied before. Accounting would be required for an engineering graduate, and statistics would be required for a commerce graduate. This, along with other activities, constant submissions, and class tests, makes the first year academically demanding.

In the second year, students have the option of selecting their own subjects, so they can take courses that are less rigorous academically than others. There is an exchange term in the second year as well, and for students who choose to participate in an exchange program, this is the least academically demanding term of the entire program.
