IBS- Indian School of Business
About College/University
Indian School of Business (ISB) is a premier private business school with campuses in Hyderabad, Telangana, and Mohali, Punjab. Established in 2001, ISB offers management education through its Post Graduate Programmes, advanced management programmes, fellow programmes, entrepreneurship programmes and executive education portfolio.
The flagship PGP in Management is a one-year, full-time residential management programme comparable in rigour and content to a traditional two-year MBA. However, ISB does not award an MBA degree for the PGP; it awards a certificate because ISB is not a university.
ISB has a strong international orientation, with global exchange partnerships and a large alumni network that includes senior executives, entrepreneurs and business leaders.
