Each cohort at ISB brings together 800+ students with diverse experiences and perspectives, creating a rich and vibrant learning environment that opens doors to a wide range of career opportunities worldwide. We offer unified admissions for both campuses and a multi-level selection process to identify individuals who demonstrate the potential to lead, innovate and make a difference in the world of business.
Learn more about the requirements, eligibility and application deadlines to join this inspiring community of passionate individuals committed to growth and making meaningful connections.
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). We are looking for individuals with substantive leadership potential and a drive to excel, a strong academic foundation and capacity, and an innovative, growth mindset, all of which drive meaningful contributions to the ISB experience 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.

Voices of ISB
Distinguished academic thought leaders and students illustrate how PGP's unparalleled learning experiences transform ambitious professionals into high-impact leaders who reshape industries and elevate capabilities worldwide.
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.
