World-class

ISB is always in the news, thanks to the achievements they keep notching up, and a very active PR department. A friend of ours was going to be spending a couple of weeks there to attend a short course on family-run businesses. He had to stay in the campus accommodation, and he wasn't complaining. And that's not the only thing that makes the ISB environment stand apart. It is ranked among the Top 20 of the world's best biz schools, to start with. Apart from the long-term programmes, the school offers several programmes ranging from a few weeks to a year mainly for people with executive/ managerial/ business owner profiles. As international as the quality of education provided here, is the quality of the faculty. The wi-fi-ed campus is self-sufficient in all respects. It's practically like entering a city. From the state-of-the-art Academic Centre which is the soul of the campus and the nerve-centre of operations, to the serviced apartments that offer a star quality of living (there are apartments for families too) in the student villages, not to forget the recreation and fitness centres to release some stress after all that intense learning one does during the day.
