Academic Background: Any good MBA is intense, and the one year duration of the ISB programme makes it even more challenging. We will look closely at your prior academic performance (percentage, division, grade point average, class rank etc), and the results of the GMAT, GRE, CAT (for provisional offer) and TOEFL (if applicable), when evaluating your ability to handle the academic rigour of our PGP Programme. While assessing your academic capability, we will also consider the reputation of your undergraduate institute. However there is no cut-off score or particular previous course of study required to apply

Leadership Potential: At the ISB, preference is given to applicants who have demonstrated leadership qualities. While some applicants have not had a chance to demonstrate relevant skills at a public level, initiatives in their extracurricular activities while at college or university, in their workplaces, and in their communities will help the Committee assess their potential. We will evaluate your leadership qualities through your experiences and accomplishments, as well as through your essays and recommendations

Diversity: We believe that student diversity is a very important element of an international education. The ISB Admissions Board aspires to create a class with diverse backgrounds and global perspectives to add to the richness of both the ISB learning experience and the ISB community. Diversity can be in the form of educational background, work experience, nationality or personal experiences and goals and we encourage you to address these dimensions in your application.

Work Experience: The diverse professional experience of students contributes to the rich and stimulating experience of the ISB programme. Successful applicants must demonstrate managerial and leadership potential, maturity, drive and focus. Irrespective of your industry or job function, we are specifically interested in how you have contributed to your organisation
