Should ISB be your first choice for MBA in India?
Answer is a clear yes if you:
1. have two or more years of work experience.
2. want to pursue one year MBA.
3. are not trying to go for MBA in hardcore finance.
Besides, ISB has very quickly grown into a brand of its own. For working professionals, it is first in their list of MBA colleges. And there are reasons for that.
It offers one of the best ROIs for any top b-schools. You become part of a large cohort which is very valuable if you have good networking skills (which you will develop to quite some extent if you join ISB). Also, it works on the idea of ‘1 school 2 campuses’ (Only other notable school is Insead). ISB tries to maintain same level of academics, peer learning and placements for both campuses. The placements for everyone happen at one campus only.
Another remarkable point that ISB offers is that despite being a 1-year program, there are 660 contact hours (schools with 2-year program offer 700). Also, ISB offers exchange programs with over 50 global schools.
The placements happen in a very organized way. The companies are invited to the campus and the college boasts about almost 100% placements with substantial jumps in the salaries offered when compared to pre-MBA salaries. The alumni group consists of many top executives and entrepreneurs.
