Inviting all the applicants for ISB 2010-11 programme, please join this thread. You can contribute your thoughts, queries, information, suggestions, comments whatever you feel would be helpful to all the applicants.
Indian School of Business
ISB is a very young school - it was founded to address the shortage of managers with proper management education in South Asia (India to be more specific). The concept of a management school was thought up a bunch of Indian businessmen lead by Rajat Gupta (currently serving as a special advisor on management reforms to the Secretary-General of the UN) in 1996. The focus of the school was to be on aspirants keen on working in India or Indian firms abroad. The first batch of students joined ISB in 2001 and passed out one year later. An executive MBA was soon launched thereafter. Hence it is not a very mature school - not even ten years old!
Institution and Course Structure:
The course itself is one year long and is known for its rigor. Each year is divided into eight terms - each term lasting 5-6 weeks in length. The first four terms are the core terms and have no electives. The second four terms are the elective courses - there are over 70 electives to choose from. As per the information session I attended last year, the number of contact hours at ISB with the teachers/professors was over 700 hours in the full course and can go to 900 hrs depending on the electives chosen.
ISB works on the concept of visiting faculty. The number of permanent faculty is just 30. However, faculty from three schools: Wharton, LBS and Kellogg visit the school for one term and take up courses for the full term (i.e. 5-6 weeks). At anytime there are up to 100 faculty members teaching at ISB. This gives the school the advantage of a world class faculty.

Outside ISB:
ISB is located on the outskirts of the capital city of Andhra Pradesh: Hyderabad. It is one of the largest cities of India (comes in the top six). It is the meeting point of the Hindu and Muslim cultures and thus has a cosmopolitan feel to it. Known for its spicy cuisine (biryani anyone?) and is now a rapidly developing city with many software firms like Microsoft, Insosys, Wipro, TCS etc. located there. The campus is located in Gachibowli, Hyderabad. It enjoys the locational advantage of being close to the campuses of Microsoft, Infosys and Wipro.
