IFIM Business School (The Institute of Finance and International Management) has surpassed many of its kind and today stands next only to IIM in Bangalore.
IFIM Business School, Bangalore, promoted by The Dalal Street Investment Journal Group, was founded in 1995 with its first batch of students graduating in 1997. Today, IFIM finds a place among the Top 30 B-schools in the country. Our campus is set in a vibrant urban environment in the heart of Bangalore's IT hub. Over the years, we have worked hard to cultivate close relations with international companies in the city.

IFIM Business School About us

ecruiting partners

Mr. Ravi C. Dasgupta Vice-President Group HR, Biocon

Biocon first took two interns from the PGDM program of IFIM two years ago. Both were absorbed by us at the end of the internship, so when we approached IFIM this year, we did so with the intent of filling in some permanent positions within the HR team. The IFIM model of doing an internship for the last 6 months of their tenure at college, with the option of absorbing those found suitable, is in my view an excellent way for both the intern and the company to have a good look at each other, so that they can take a more informed decision at the end.This year we have taken 5 interns and will be absorbing 3 of them. All the interns have shown a keen desire to learn and contribute. They are also fairly disciplined, well-adjusted and have displayed sound interpersonal skills.

Centre for Continuous Employability (CCE)

The Centre for Continuous Employability at IFIM has been setup in line with our vision of Continuous Employability. It facilitates placements for our students through career counselling and mentoring them to enhance their employability skills. In addition, it also provides lateral placement services to IFIM alumni. The CCE partners relevant companies for campus recruitment and provides opportunities to eligible students based on their capabilities. The centre is headed by an industry experienced expert: Mr. S.R. Mohan Director-Centre for Continuous Employability and Corporate Alliances M.B.A, with over 30 plus years of Corporate leadership in Sales and Marketing and close to 10 years of Entrepreneurship in Executive Search.

- by Rudyard Kipling If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too: If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, dont deal in lies, Or being hated dont give way to hating, And yet dont look too good, nor talk too wise; If you can dreamand not make dreams your master; If you can thinkand not make thoughts your aim, If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same: If you can bear to hear the truth youve spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build em up with worn-out tools; If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss: If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: Hold on! If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings-nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much: If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything thats in it, And-which is more-youll be a Man, my son!

VISION
Nurture holistic, socially responsible and continuously employable professionals.

MISSION
To be the most sought after destination for quality management education in India.
