Businesses worldwide need management graduates who have the tools to succeed globally -- leadership skills, cultural awareness, foreign language proficiency, and an understanding of how the global marketplace functions. The ISB prepares you to meet these demands.

The International Student Exchange Programme gives you the opportunity to study for two terms at other leading business schools. The ISB has partnerships with 32 leading schools from the USA, France, South Africa, Israel, Germany, China, Pakistan, and the UK for exchange programmes. Visiting students add to the diversity and peer learning experience on campus. Over the past few years, students of over 16 countries have visited the ISB as exchange students.

The curriculum is a judicious blend of insights from the East and West and enables a coherent understanding of the new emerging economies of the world. The PGP curriculum is reviewed and upgraded every year for its theoretical rigour and its practical relevance.

The one year programme starts with the pre-term and orientation courses followed by eight terms of six weeks each. The first four terms cover the core courses, laying the foundation for the advanced elective courses in later terms. To specialise in one area, a student has to take a minimum of six electives from that area. Students can choose a maximum of two specialisations. You also have the option of enrolling in 2 additional electives.

In a global economic scenario that is constantly evolving, you need to acquire the requisite competencies to stay ahead. By imparting knowledge that has a blend of global best practices and relevance to emerging economies, the Indian School of Business (ISB) is committed to grooming future leaders.

The Indian School of Business evolved from the need for a world class business school in Asia. Its founders are some of the best minds from the corporate and academic worlds. These individuals visualized the leadership needs of emerging Asian economies and recognised that the rapidly changing business landscape would require young leaders with an understanding of evolving economies. The ISB is committed to its role in creating such leaders through its innovative programmes, outstanding faculty and thought leadership. Funded entirely by private corporations, foundations and individuals from around the world, who believe in its vision, the ISB was conceived as a not -for-profit organisation.

Indian School of Business is in association with the Kellogg School of Management, the Wharton School, and the London Business School which makes the ISB one of the best business schools in Asia. Here you will have the opportunity to interact with industry leaders, entrepreneurs, and faculty from some of the world’s leading business and management institutions.
