Don’t go under. Ride the winds of

change. Face every challenge with a

flexibility that allows you to springback. Do not get timed out by

advanced global practices. Do not get

derailed by new emerging

technologies. Refuse to buckle under the challenge of a new system. Turnyour back to the twilight…and face the

dawn of a brand new day. Becausedestiny belongs to the few who reinvent

themselves and weather the storm. Thehuman spirit must triumph.

SINGLE ADMISSION PROCESS

There will be a single admissions process to both the

Hyderabad and the Mohali campus. Applicants

would be required to indicate their preference of

campus in the online application. The admissions

process does not take the campus preference into

consideration while evaluating the application andtherefore will have no impact on the selection

process. The campus allotment decision will be taken

up after we prepare the final list of admits. While we

will try our best to accommodate your choice of

campus to the extent possible, ISB reserves the right

to allot campus in order to maintain class parity

between the two campuses and such allotment are

also subject to the number of seats available at the

respective campuses.

ISB aims to bring together people from a wide

variety of backgrounds, nationalities, education andexperience, which adds to a varied learning

experience. The common denominators are

leadership qualities, ability to work in a team,

superior academic credentials and display of

consistent intellectual prowess. Excellent written and

verbal communication skills are essential.

To be eligible, you must have:

• A bachelor's degree in any discipline.

• Two years of full-time post qualification work

experience. Exceptional candidates with less thantwo years of experience would be considered for

deferred admissions.

• GMAT score. Scores of the last five years are

valid.

• TOEFL/ IELTS score is required only if the

language of instruction during undergraduate

education was not English.

Admissions will evaluate all applications on the

above basis. Shortlisted candidates will be

interviewed as a part of the selection process.

LEADERSHIP POTENTIAL

Preference is given to students who have

demonstrated leadership qualities in their work or

academic life. This is assessed primarily through

recommendations or references included in the

application. Students must include recommendations

from their workplace, preferably from their direct

supervisor. While most applicants may not have had

a chance to demonstrate leadership skills at the

public level, initiatives at work or in their personal lifewill help the committee assess the candidate's

potential.

DIVERSITY

The ISB believes that student diversity is a very

important element of an international education.

Applicants are encouraged to describe their

backgrounds and provide details about what and

how they can contribute to the student community.

Diversity can be in the form of educationalbackground, work experience, nationality or

personal experiences and goals.

ACADEMIC BACKGROUND & ANALYTICAL ABILITY

The programme is rigorous, and since its duration

makes it even more challenging, candidates must

have convincing academic records. Our evaluation

therefore, considers the student's undergraduate

performance. However, there is no cut-off score.

Likewise, we also assess analytical ability based on

GMAT. Here again, we do not have a cut-off GMATscore. While a good GMAT score helps, an average

score can be compensated for by achievements in

other areas.

WORK EXPERIENCE

The ISB prefers applicants with substantial work

experience (minimum two years). The diverse

professional experience of students contributes to

the rich and stimulating learning in the ISB

programme. We are specifically interested in how
