About Indus Business Academy
Indus Business Academy is a management college in Bengaluru, Karnataka, established in 2010. Indus Business Academy is privately managed and self-financing. Indus Business Academy offers 5 programmes, 1 at undergraduate level and 3 at postgraduate level. They are PGDM (Dual Specialization), PGDM (General), PGDM (International Business), Fellowship Programme in Management and BBA (Under Graduate, Management). The stated sanctioned intake across these programmes totals 400 seats. IBA Bangalore is a standalone AICTE-approved private PGDM institution, not an affiliated-university MBA college. The 2026-27 AICTE EOA names Permanent ID 1-3099321 and approves PGDM 240, PGDM (General) 60, PGDM (International Business) 30, Fellowship Programme in Management 10, and BBA 60; the International Business intake is reduced from 60 to 30. The 2026-27 EOA is dated 16-Mar-2026. The 2024-25 mandatory disclosure reports 27 faculty for 357 students and identifies Dr. Subhendu Dey as Director. The same disclosure describes 13 classrooms and a 100+ computer lab, but no exact computer-lab count is stated. Research and exchange MoUs are reported with the partners listed above. The 2026-27 AICTE EoA also lists BBA under Bangalore University, but that university degree programme is not merged into this PGDM unit. AICTE EoA 2026-27 lists PGDM intake 240, PGDM (General) intake 60, PGDM (International Business) intake 30, and Fellowship Programme in Management intake 10; these programme-level figures are not represented as campus facts.
