- Arts, humanities, and social sciences
- Education
- Engineering and technology

Campus and location
The university campus is situated in Gariyaband district, which lies in the eastern part of Chhattisgarh and is known for its forested terrain and tribal heritage. The location places the institution among a small group of universities serving students from this part of the state.
Significance
As a state private university recognised within the Chhattisgarh higher education system, ISBM University contributes to widening participation in tertiary education in a predominantly rural district. Such universities play a role in offering programmes locally that students might otherwise pursue in larger urban centres such as Raipur or Bilaspur.
