IIBS Bengaluru at a Glance — What the Airport Campus Offers

The institute is UGC 2(f) recognised, recognised by the Ministry of Education, Government of India, and associated with AIMS and ASSOCHAM. Its airport campus sits at 75, Muthugadahalli, Jala Hobli, near the Bengaluru International Airport — a location that puts students in the growth corridor of North Bengaluru.

What differentiates IIBS is not a single headline number but a bundle: 90 certifications woven around the degree, a layered scholarship ladder, hostel and transport support, and international exposure through boot camps and an exchange programme.
