ISB to increase intake?

10 10 2007

ISB is only 5 batches old and is already up there in the top ranking insititutes of the country. In fact, it may soon appear in the league of internationally accepted rankings and accreditions.

A good news for all prospective students (like me:-)) arrived in my mail box today (courtesy Google news alert!). Don’t know if we can trust this news but it’s definitely worth a cheer!

The ISB has been increasing its intake from 126 in the first batch in 2001 to 425 in 2007-08, 490 in 2008-09 and to 560 in 2009-10.

This means there would be an addition of 60-70 students in the next class of ISB-PGP.

I still have a few hurdles before I could reach this class… Here’s the schedule for ISB interviews
