Finance & Accounting

Iimb institutional review board (irb).

Through their teaching, research, and professional activities, area faculty members aim to influence the theories of asset pricing, financial management, and financial reporting. Area faculty’s research on fundamental questions in finance and accounting has been published in leading academic accounting journals. Some recent areas of interest include: Corporate Finance, Financial Management of Non-Corporate Sector, Asset Pricing, Capital Markets, Corporate Governance, Financial Institutions and Services, Market Microstructure, Risk Management

Research Overview

Touching upon Corporate Finance, Asset Pricing, and Risk Management in the Banking and Finance sector, Professor V. Ravi Anshuman sets the context for research by faculty in the Finance and Accounting area at IIMB. He also offers a broad overview of the curriculum and highlights the strength of the Area’s faculty body.

Research Spotlight

Mutual funds sahi hain . Are they really? For whom? Given the rise in passive investing, Mareeswaran’s thesis examines the impact of passive investing on managerial decision-making. His study provides valuable insights for regulators, corporate managers, and investors for a better understanding of passive investing.

Rajaram’s research question lies at the intersection between labour economics and corporate finance. He examines the information externalities of downsizing for rival firms and finds that that downsizing decisions, which cite declining demand as the reason for layoffs, have a greater contagion effect whereas layoffs, made for efficiency reasons, have a greater competitive spillover effect. His research is of interest to firms and investors alike.

Sanchit Jain examines if announcements of equity financing decisions by group-affiliated firms have any spillover effects on the market value of their member firms. If so, what factors explain this spillover? His study has been carried out in India, but the results are broadly expected to hold in all markets with business groups.

Vision of the Programme

The objective of the Doctoral Programme in Management is to equip students with necessary skills to identify and carry out research on complex issues in a specialized field of management. The programme is strongly committed to preparing thought leaders, both for the academic and corporate world. Graduates of the Doctoral Programme in Management are placed in world class organizations in teaching, research and consulting positions. A total of 471 doctoral students have graduated from IIMA so far.

The Doctoral Programme in Management seeks candidates with outstanding academic credentials, intellectual curiosity and discipline needed to make scholarly contributions that advance the frontiers of knowledge. It provides a diverse set of opportunities for interdisciplinary learning and research. The student opts for one of eleven functional/sectoral areas and acquires super specialized theoretical knowledge and mastery of practical aspects of the area.

The small class size allows close interaction with faculty members, who provide the intellectual stimulus and help develop the student's research interests and professional goals. Students generally spend a little over four years to complete their Ph.D. which includes two years of rigorous course work.

Course work in the first year provides a general management overview and develops basic skills for analyzing managerial problems. In the second year, students take advanced Doctoral courses in their areas of high levels of specialization. After completing the course work, students have to pass an area comprehensive examination to demonstrate that they have reached a level of proficiency in the area of high levels of specialization.  The Ph.D. dissertation, for the next couple of years, provides them with an opportunity to make original contribution to an area of management or to one of its source disciplines. Students admitted to the Doctoral Programme in Management receive a comprehensive fellowship that covers all costs and in addition provides a modest living allowance.

Ph.D. in innovation and management in education is offered only in IIM A across India, and this unique interdisciplinary course of management and education provides ample opportunity to research in the diverse field within the education sector. The option to choose multiple courses from different management sub-disciplines during coursework in the Ph.D. programme at IIM A has helped me broaden my understanding and knowledge about management education and research.

Nirved Kumar Year of Joining: 2020, Area: RJMCEI

My experience with IIM A, till now, can be summarized in three words - rigour, learning, and development. The coursework is vast and intense. I would admit that the first year of coursework has helped me take a quantum leap into the world of academics. The faculty members are extremely supportive and patient. Additionally, there is ample scope, here, to pursue one’s extra-curricular interests. The community is very tightly knit and my batch profile is so diverse that the past one year was peppered with numerous instances of peer learning - academic as well as non-academic.

There is no concession for SC/ST students in IIM A, B and C. But this is not a major issue.

IIMs offer a lot of financial aid services to financially weak people. In some cases, the entire fee is paid by the college or some part. It depends on the judgment of the panel on the basis of your situation.

All IIMs offer educational loans at a relatively low interest rate. Banks usually consider IIM students as a profitable investment. So rather than worrying about the money, focus more on your goals.

Which is best -MBA in finance from ISB Hyderabad or top IIMS A/B/C?

ISB Hyderabad is known for its lack of specialization in Finance. It’s a common understanding now that even if one is preferring ISB Hyderabad for admission, they know that they should go for anything but Finance. Studying some aspects will give you a deeper insight as to why MBA in Finance from ISB Hyderabad is not recommended.

Faculty: Although the visiting faculty is quite decent, it’s the domestic faculty that has ruined the culture at ISB. They are arrogant, pathetic, and extremely incapable. They insult the students regularly and disturb student-teacher relations.

Placements: The roles offered in Finance were below average like Operations, Sales, and BD roles. Such roles were offered in abundance by the banks or start-ups. However, the superior roles like IB/PE/VC/M&A/FP&A/Equity Research/Credit Rating/Asset Management/TAS were offered scarcely. For instance 

• only 10 FP and A roles were allotted that too only to CAs
• Only one Investment banking role was offered by Barclays
• Only 5 PE/bc roles were offered and there was a strong preference for a prior IB/PE/VC experience and IIT undergraduate background.
• One M and A role was offered only
• 4 Asset Management and zero Equity Research and Credit Rating roles were offered.

So the best roles were offered limitedly while the batch size stood at 900. Most students ended up with unsatisfactory placements. Now you can decide whether or not to join if you are confident to face the placement scenario.

What are the best courses to take in IIM Bangalore?

IIM Bangalore offers a variety of courses to cater to the needs of all its students. 

The ones I found most useful are-

• Consumer Behaviour by Prof. S. Ramesh Kumar- This is the best course according to me, irrespective of the subjects of your interest. This topic is important for every business in the world.
• Brand Management by Prof. YLR Moorthy
• General Commercial Knowledge by Prof. Shankar Subramoney- This course is all about the most essential laws and contractual agreements.

Apart from this, here are some professors whose style of teaching and depth of knowledge is unparalleled-

• Prof. Dinesh Kumar
• Prof. Anshuman Tripathy
• HR by Prof. Vasanthi
• Prof. Mulky

Research a bit on these courses, and find some information on the above listed professors.

How good is the IIM Bangalore Business Analytics Program?

IIM Bangalore belongs to the holy trinity of MBA colleges in India, i.e., IIM A,B,C. PGDBA is meant for people interested in the field of Business Analytics or Data Science. It is also a good option for working professionals who wish to progress in their Business Analytics career.

The curriculum is designed to make the students understand important concepts related to Data Science and Technology, and their role in Business Management. All the PGDBA candidates at IIM Bangalore are eligible for placements and summer internships. 

The demand for Business Analytics is only growing, and IIM Bangalore is the best brand to learn such a high demand course.

How good is P3M course in IIM Bangalore?

PPPM or Project Program & Portfolio Management is an excellent short-duration course offered by IIM Bangalore. This executive education program selects only 20 candidates each term. The course is for

•  Candidates with work experience
•  Candidates currently in middle management to senior management roles.

The program comprises faculty dinners, case study discussions, case study analyses, discussions about real-life management issues, group presentations, and other problem-solving discussions.

The faculty for this program is extremely supportive and helps you throughout the course.

How can you compare ISB’s CBA vs IIM Bangalore’s BAI courses?

Both ISB’s CBA and IIM Bangalore’s BAI are vastly different from one another. The following are some of the advantages and disadvantages of both. CBA at ISB:

• Global Faculty and a very good campus are available to CBA students for the entire year, just like PGP students.
• Very good networking opportunity with 100+ batch as you live on campus with them sharing food, time, and fun.
• As the 5th batch of CBA graduates, the alumni base is strong.
• Except for tutorials, the teaching method is primarily offline.
• Prof Shailesh, Prof Sarang Deo, Prof Arun, and Prof Sudhir Voleti are some of the best faculty in the market.
• ISB Brand Value because ISB promotes this course as a full-time option. 
• One of the main factors is the high cost.
• They should raise prices slightly and offer more career opportunities.

IIM B or L:

• Global Faculty and Excellent Peers
• IIM Brand Worth.
• More suitable for working people is the online method.
• In comparison to ISB, the fees are minor.
• You are not permitted to stay on campus, which limits your opportunities to network with your peers.
• Although IIM promotes this as an executive course, it is more appropriate to take it offline because concepts are difficult to grasp online.

Is it worth doing an E MBA from IIM Bangalore? I work as SSE. I make around 50 lakhs per annum, age 32 and I have a B Com.

If you measure the worth of a degree by its salary, you will never be satisfied, and I recommend that you do not pursue an MBA. Money is only one of many factors to consider before beginning an MBA program. The salary you have is something that most people do not get even after an MBA/Executive MBA; average salary packages range between Rs. 22 and Rs. 25 lakhs. You are already earning twice as much.

If you want to advance your knowledge of business/strategy/finance/organizational behavior and advance to a higher position where you can have a significant impact, an MBA is unquestionably a good option. However, there is no guarantee that you will earn more than 50 lakhs after completing your EMBA. Go for it if you want to learn and are willing to take a pay cut after your MBA. Don't do it if you're only in it for the money. You could invest in the stock market and watch your money double over time. MBA does not magically transform 50 lakhs into 1 crore. 

What are the fees at the IIM Bangalore?

For Indian PGP students, the total fee for 2 years at IIM Bangalore is Rs. 24.5 Lakhs. 

This fee covers Tuition, Library, Internet, Case Permission Royalty, Course Material, Hostel Room Rent and Service Charge, Medical Insurance, Personal Accident Insurance and Alumni Activity. 

A caution deposit of Rs.15,000 is to be paid one-time, during registration. This deposit is not included in the total fee and is to be paid separately. Along with it, Rs. 5,000 is to be paid as hostel deposit during the same time. Additionally, a mess advance of Rs. 30,000 is to be paid each term.

The entire amount does not include Service Tax or other taxes, which if applicable, will be collected from the students accordingly. Hostel is provided for PGP students, but one can opt to live outside the campus in the second year.
