Introduction

Earlier known for its spice trade, Kochi is now emerging as a destination for trade, industry, tourism and higher education. It is the hub for the large inflow of tourists to "God’s Own Country", Kerala. The presence of a 15 GBPS International Gateway Exchange has made TCS, Infosys and Wipro set up development centers in Kochi.

Being the commercial capital of Kerala, Kochi is in every way the best place to house an IBS® campus. Located centrally, on the NH 47 Bypass, IBS® Kochi, a constituent of the Icfaian Foundation, is three years old, and is housed in an independent three-storied building.

Facilities

Well-equipped classrooms and seminar halls, a well-stocked library functioning from 8 am to 8 pm, a multi-media hall, a computer lab, and a recreation center are some of the facilities available at IBS® Kochi. For accommodation facilities, we have arrangements with local hostels (for boys and girls) near the campus.

We have state-of-the-art facilities and a full-fledged computer lab, equipped with the latest hardware and software that is regularly upgraded to keep up with the changing technologies. To add to the attraction is a high bandwidth internet connection giving round-the-clock net connectivity through a wireless LAN. Software include SPSS, Oracle 10, VB.Net, etc.

We have 12 full-time faculty members with good academic backgrounds and vast industry experience in addition to visiting faculty who are practicing managers. Industry interaction every week is yet another added advantage for the students. All these help the students in getting the right environment and guidance for improving their knowledge and skills.
