Indian School of Business

ISB as they say was estd. in 2001 and found its rightful place in top 10 list of MBA colleges. It not only marched ahead in the young Indian minds but also for the corporate which nor only contains India INC in a short span of 7 years but also many foreign companies like JP Morgan , CITI etc.

Their success story is not only inspirational for any college but also for an individual. ISB  was the first Indian college which placed a student for a CTC in excess of  1 crore (international). So what is the mantra of revving up ahead of others . There can be several inferences that can be drawn , firstly to be succinct - the management spends  proportionate margins in college publicity( similar effort is also followed by IIPM -failed miserably ) and secondly  the courses are targeted for high potential markets. These points serve as homilies not only for students but also for the visiting corporate houses. Since the people going to ISB are ones who give GMAT . In addition to this ISB has a minimum eligibility criteria of 3 years of work experience therefore a good exam and a high eligibility criteria  beckons its rapport. Thus its the 'facts' bellowing its popularity.

I also come from a college which is having MBA as one of the offered course , but it almost seems derelict by the management. No promotional activities undertaken and  its like a lake infected by water hyacinth - slowly dying. Only promotional event is the entrance test! While the administration still remain blissfully oblivious and living successfully with a dearth of vision , its directly the student's responsibility to undertake and organize good events. Negligence as they say can be ' an ugly thing'. That is I think are shortcomings when college is propelled by staff which looks like a minister's group. I would apologize to IIPM for being harsh on their publicity stint 'world tour + free laptop'- at least nothing is better than something. Wait! I didn't mean to say that IIPM is too bad all I am saying is ISB is very good.

While more or less of this article was dedicated to a  'maverick' college , it also reflected some nebulousness of some less superior colleges and how it can have enfeeble effect on its denizen.

HEY !! I am just a reveler.
