FROM ISB PGP Admissions Director Blog: Fostering a Community: Student Clubs at ISB |
ISB’s commitment to creating the world’s future business leaders involves far more than classroom learning. In addition to innovative programs and world-class faculty, ISB’s student clubs offer access to continued enrichment through leadership, social and personal experiences. Coordinated and managed by ISB’s Graduate Student Board (GSB), student clubs — which are student-led and organized into teams — offer competitions, events, and activities across a diversity of student interests and talents. From the Energy Club’s annual Energy Summit to a student jam session with the Music Club, the campus is abuzz with enrichment opportunities. Let’s take a look at a few of the ISB students who have led some ISB clubs:

FROM ISB Admissions Blog: Myths and Misconceptions Standing Between You and the PGP at ISB |
Our reputation as a leader in the world of business education continues to grow, but there’s chance you may not know us as well as you think you do. Let’s take a closer look at some of the myths and misconceptions surrounding what it takes to gain admission to the PGP at the ISB. 1. The GMAT number. Our admissions process focuses on the holistic evaluation of a candidate, not on a test score. The average GMAT score for admitted students ranges between 600 and 780, with a quarter of candidates actually scoring below the mythological number of 700. So what are we looking for in your application? Our admissions process prioritizes quality and competence over all else. Your application offers you the opportunity to dazzle us with your unique credentials and accomplishments, of which the GMAT is only a small part. Don’t count yourself out if your GMAT score is less than 700. We’re ready to give you a chance, but you have to give yourself a chance first. 2. The Million Dollar Question. An MBA is a significant investment in your future as a business leader, and there are indeed associated costs. However, they may not be as steep as you think. ISB’s Rs. 25 lakh fee is all-inclusive, comprising tuition, living and boarding expenses. Compare that to the Rs. 50 to 60 lakhs you might pay in tuition at a comparable global business school — with an additional Rs. 20 to 30 lakhs in living expenses – and ISB starts to look like a deal. Furthermore, our accomplished visiting faculty from the world’s best b-schools offer premier access and exposure to resources that would cost at least triple anywhere else. Factor in that salaries for PGP grads start high and grow exponentially in the years following graduation, and attending ISB is clearly money well spent. 3. Placement Matters. Planning for a career in finance but concerned that your ISB degree won’t make the cut? Our alumni will be the first to tell you otherwise. Firms like Ambit Capital and Kotak Bank regularly recruit ISB grads for sought after careers in research, sales, trading and corporate finance. And with international placements including Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, Citi and a host of others, the PGP opens doors. Did we happen to mention that in addition to several venture capital and private equity funds which annually cherry pick from PGP grads, Axis Bank returns every year to select 10 women to join their team? Having said that, the ISB is far from an exclusive home for blue-blooded finance types. After all, where else can a dentist become a venture capitalist? If these or any other myths stand between you and the PGP, we urge you to take a closer look and see for yourself what it takes to become a contributing member of the ISB community. We would be lying if we said your CGPA didn’t play a role, but that part is up to you. |

FROM ISB PGP Admissions Director Blog: Introducing ISB 360: ISB’s Revolutionary Mobile App |
A staggering 4 billion of the planet’s 6.8 billion people use mobile. If the significance of these figures isn’t immediately clear, consider it this way: only 3.5 billion of those same 6.8 billion people use toothbrushes. With mobile growing by leaps and bounds and its impact still approaching critical mass, the takeaway for a thought leading institution like ISB is clear: mobile matters. Enter ISB 360. During a time when the world’s premier business schools are competing for the best and brightest students, an informative and interactive app offers unparalleled potential to engage international applicants. The incentives to create a diverse learning environment are manifold. While promoting a diverse classroom perspective which reflects the global economy is paramount, an international student body also raises rankings, increases global accreditations, and brings more recruiters to campus. ISB’s efforts to engage international MBA students — including everything from exchange programs to short-term coursework — have seen promising results. Considering that 15 percent of visitors to the ISB website come from mobile devices, the leap to mobile was a natural next step. ISB 360 offers prospective students unique insights into the PGP experience by addressing critical questions on topics such as fast-tracking your career, shifting careers, embracing entrepreneurism, taking a family business to the next level, undertaking a leadership role, and much more. Even better? Users can customize an ISB 360 tour to create a targeted view of the program as it applies to their own personal needs and objectives. Mere days after it hit the market, ISB 360 — available on iOS, Android and Blackberry — serves thousands of users from five continents. And as the app’s popularity continues to grow, its interactivity will also evolve, delivering relevant, real time information to members of the global business community. With just the swipe of a screen, ISB 360 gives prospective students a rare insider’s perspective of the PGP and life at ISB, in general. The combination of an intensely competitive business school marketplace and technologically savvy, knowledge-seeking applicants calls for something more than the usual measures. ISB’s response speaks to the innovative and progressive culture for which the school is increasingly known. |
