ISB Hyderabad

ISB Hyderabad was the first institute in India that brought the concept of executive MBA or similar PG courses. After working for 3 years my company sponsored me for MBA from ISB Hyderabad and all that I have achieved in my life is because of 1 year at ISB. If one thinks that time passes by, I would say that time flew my folks because that one year finished in a flash and I couldn’t even realize that I am done with ISB. Even today I feel like taking some course there as the college accommodates students in mid-30s and for all those who can afford and want to enjoy the college life to the fullest than ISB, Hyderabad can work wonders for you. All this may sound so good but the biggest part is entry at the college is also one of the toughest. Highest percentile students along with some good work-ex and the long interview and PI sessions are mandatory and from that pool also only a few are selected. I prepared for it for 8 months, day in and day out, to crack the entrance and impress the masters who interviewed us. Once entered you are destined for a time of your life.Read Full Review

I passed out in 2012 and the cohort then was that you need to have a minimum of 1-year experience to join ISB. From 2014 that has changed to a minimum of 2 years and the ones who want to consider this prestigious college must have some good work experience as well. The college is next to IIMs and the facilities and all are perhaps better than them. There are some 30+ members dedicated to the CAS (Career Advancement Services) department that works out of their skin to get the best companies of various domains on board. Visiting faculty from Kellogg, Wharton, and Duke taught us on various topics. For an Indian MBA aspirant it was a dream institute and the way the course is designed and the kind of placements they provide, Indian School of Business Hyderabad is from a different league. The program that is run has an advantage as the same program is going in parallel in both ISB campuses, i.e. Hyderabad, and Mohali. If you feel like switching the campus in-between, you can do so. Another thing that stands out is that one year Executive Fellow Program in Management has 6 months of classes and 6 months of full-time internship.Read Full Review
