To apply for the Post Graduate Programme in Management, you must have 24+ months of work experience (as of March 31st) and a valid GMAT or GRE score (test centre scores only). The mission of ISB is to groom future leaders for India and the world. Consistent with this mission, we seek to bring into our classrooms, individuals with substantive leadership potential, a drive to excel, and the motivation and capacity to create meaningful contributions to the ISB experience within and beyond the programme.

Applications are open for the PGP Class of 2027.

We operate a staggered admission process with three deadlines for each intake. While competition is the same across all rounds, the earlier you gain admission, the more time you will have to secure financing and arrange related logistics. Applicants in earlier rounds also get preference in the allotment of scholarships. The online application for each round opens approximately two months before the application deadline for that round. Know more about our application deadlines and special instructions below.

Our diverse cohort brings together accomplished professionals from varied industries and backgrounds, creating a vibrant learning ecosystem where unique perspectives elevate classroom experiences and enrich peer learning.

FAQs

The ISB PGP programme offers world-class management education akin to an MBA but is not a degree programme.

We encourage early applications as it enables better work and relocation planning. However, applying in either cycle has no significant impact on your selection chances.

Approximately 820 students are admitted across Hyderabad and Mohali campuses annually for the management programme. The Class of 2025 has 816 students enrolled across both the campuses.

The study treks include international, domestic and social sector visits, giving students real-world exposure through corporate interactions.

There is a uniform fee structure for all candidates, whether self-funded or company-sponsored.
