A month has been reduced? wow. How will this impact the study cycle? Have they started online classes in the meantime? Could this affect placements?

The number of contact hours are the same, so yes this year would be a bit more intense. ISB will continue with this structure (46 weeks) for future classes as well, so the change is permanent.

Impact on placements - difficult to gauge just yet. ISB will pull out all stops to make the most in the situation though. Placement season start at ISB also slightly delayed, but this doesn't mean a negative impact on placements.

If its permanent will it also affect fees?
