ISB Hyderabad (Indian School of Business)

ISB Hyderabad has earned the reputation of one of the best B-schools not just within the country but also on the global map. Indians prefer the option of being able to get an internationally acclaimed degree within India. They can thus reap the advantage that a reputed global MBA has to offer- from being able to choose from a wide array of career options on completion of the course in addition to the considerable networking opportunities they can make use of.

The course fee of USD 40,000 is affordable to a majority of prospective Indian MBA candidates who find studying or living at an international location expensive or perhaps beyond their means. Students have succeeded in changing careers post-MBA and even managed to land a job in much sought-after streams like strategy management consulting jobs, investment banking jobs among others. Some have even bagged job offers from international firms including top tier companies like McKinsey.

At ISB Hyderabad, the syllabus undergoes upgrading every year. Its continuous effort of maintaining its high standard is reflected by the fact that it was ranked 13th in The Financial Times global MBA ranking 2011. It has a sprawling 260 acre campus with excellent facilities at Hyderabad with a second one coming up at Mohali.

The Indian School of Business commenced slightly more than a decade back. However on account of its quality education it has become a popular option for many Asian aspirants. This is a one-year intense program and candidates are at an advantage if they have a high GMAT score and on an average around 4-5 years of work experience. In addition to these aspects, candidates from diverse educational, professional backgrounds and different countries are taken into account. The selectivity here is high. Candidates are evaluated on the basis of how well they'd fared both academically as well as professionally. For this purpose, it is necessary to highlight and present the candidate's professional and meritorious achievements in the best possible way by means of an excellent job at MBA admissions essays and MBA recommendations. The MBA admissions essays can be worked at length with enough time allotted for the same so as to be able to perform multiple edits in order to be sure that there's no important aspect that has been missed out. A third party perspective, be it a friend, colleague, relative or a professional MBA admissions consultant also helps in pointing out flaws or restructuring or helping out in the thought-processing for a better output. The candidate also needs to brush up on some likely questions that may arise during an MBA interview. Practice sessions by means of mock interview may also be of help.
