Hello Rajesh!! Would really appreciate it if you could shed some light on the kind of campus life and daily rigours of an ISB student in brief..
Since ISB runs one year PGP program, there is a perception that it will be too hectic. Program is so beautifully planned that you don't feel the rigor.
We have 4 hour classes for 4 days. Friday, saturday and sunday are off days so that students can engage in various networking events. Various professional clubs invite speakers from industries so that students can have better view of industry and expected job roles in the industry. One year here requires planning from student's side also to decide which event to attend. It is slightly difficult to attend all the events and maintain excellent academic record.
Apart from it, there are various social clubs for Music/photography/quizzing/Golf/Art/Theatre enthusiasts. And these clubs keep on organising events on regular basis.
ISB has all the facilities to relax in campus for students and spouses. Recreational center has gym, squash court, badminton court, swimming pool, basketball court, and other facilities. It is easy to squeeze an hour or so daily to use them.
In short, PGP program is rigorous but is easily manageable. Just one advice have some road map of what you want to get out of ISB. It will change once you come here but that discussion is for later stage.
