Reasons for selecting ISB
World Class faculty, great infrastructure and facilities, one year programme, lateral placements post ISB, affordable tuition fees compared to US and European B-Schools, healthy industry-institute interaction and diverse and experienced peer groups.

On ISB’s learning model
The one year learning model is ideally suited for experienced professionals who would want to go back to the industry in lateral positions. Case based teaching and best faculty from international schools truly provide a unique global experience.

On the infrastructure and other resources at ISB
The Learning Resource Centre (LRC) is a reflection of the research oriented approach of studies that ISB professes. The countless number of journals, databases, business publications, career guides, and industry trackers along with the regular books on several topics are truly the backbone of the education system at ISB. Coupled with its hi-tech IT system, it is an absolute treat for students accessing latest world trends and databases from the apartment. Recreational facilities includes a very well maintained swimming pool, lighted tennis court, basket ball, volley ball, badminton, squash, snooker, gymnasium, football ground, table tennis board at each student village, to name a few. It is a treat for the spouses and children and a welcome break from studies for all the students
Residential facilities are conducive for students with all necessary facilities and gadgets readily available. The apartments are very well maintained by experienced professionals, leaving students to worry only about studies and nothing else.

On faculty at ISB
One of ISB’s USPs is its world class faculty. Visiting professors from the best of B-Schools all around the world make the learning truly global. The faculty members are accomplished researchers and are abreast with the latest and best in the global business world.

On the leadership skills acquired at ISB
ISB’s learning model emphasizes on group work, study and assignments thereby encouraging teamwork skills in most of us. Also, time being a very crucial element at ISB, managing time is what we all have learnt.

On your peer groups
The experience and diversity of the peer group at ISB is unparalleled in India. I would say 50% of my learning is from the peer group and the rest 50% from the classroom studies. Peers from diverse backgrounds greatly enhance the quality of the class discussions and immensely add value to the learning by helping to develop a holistic view

On your learning experiences with the Student Clubs
Student Clubs at ISB can be categorized into Professional Clubs and Social Clubs. The Professional Clubs are from the most common market sectors as well as from the emerging sectors and are run by students who have relevant experience in those sectors. The internal knowledge sharing as well as speaker series from industry stalwarts and a host of other activities being conducted by such clubs adds another dimension of knowledge and learning to the MBA experience at ISB.

How this programme will benefit your career
The classroom learning at ISB by world class faculty, coupled with interactions with industry leaders provides an ideal springboard to my career post ISB. Seminars and discussions by industry leaders, workshops by global companies, interactions in professional clubs, and knowledge sharing by experienced peer groups provides a cutting edge to my management skills.

Overall experience at ISB
Starting with the orientation week, interacting with the alums, getting to know the section mates and familiarizing the faces of 417 others were the initial challenges which all of us soon overcame. As the days passed by, group studies, assignment all throughout the night, class discussions / debates on different topics, the interaction on a regular basis with the champions of the industry, the frenzied moods of students before the exams, getting dunked at the swimming pool, partying all throughout the night after the term exams are some of the experience of a lifetime at ISB which all of us shall cherish in the years to come
