It is a model that offers you everything in one year flat! Admissions Managers, Hima Bindu and Nityanand Jha, are holding road shows to introduce the concept of their school to the multitudinous MBA aspirants scattered across the country.

What their institute, the ISB, offers is a one-year, post-graduate programme in management at any time of one’s life. As Hima Bindu puts it, “This translates into no CAT, but a process very much like applying to a foreign university.” A GMAT score that falls between 600-740, a good academic background, work experience and potential.

So what is the IBS edge? Its global curriculum and faculty, they claim, since it is formally affiliated to The Wharton School, The Kellogg School of Management and the London Business School, experienced peer group, a world class campus and, of course, the one-year duration of the programme.

Further, it is a research-driven school. They clain that the aim of the road shows is not to garner more students, for the application process is all online, but to spread awareness and “encourage women and entrepreneurs, in particular, to come forward and take this chance.”
