One-year Programme

The Post Graduate Programme in Management (PGP) at the Indian School of Business (ISB) is an incisive one-year programme that has been designed keeping in mind students’ eagerness to get back to the corporate world as soon as possible. It is ideal for working professionals who want to enhance their careers without a long hiatus from work. The programme is rigorous, challenging and encourages learning beyond classroom instruction. Students learn not just from the faculty and their peers, but also from successful leaders and entrepreneurs who frequently visit the campus.

ISB alumni have summarised the benefits of the one-year programme as follows:

• The intensity of the programme teaches students to analyse situations quickly, think on their feet and apply their skills to real business situations.
• Students learn to combine their industry expertise with the fundamentals of management that are acquired over the year.
• Students not only minimise career interruptions, but also effectively equip themselves for an exciting career ahead.
• Companies encourage their high-potential employees to pursue one-year programmes to prepare for leadership roles.
• One-year programmes have a great advantage over two-year programmes because of the tremendous savings in opportunity costs.
• It is an ideal platform to recharge before returning to the corporate world.
