I had a chance to attend ISB information session. A flashy, informative powerpoint presentation, with rich multimedia content is pretty much how I can describe the finesse with which it was presented from one of the members of the Admissions committee. Well for starters here is what it contained.
1. History of ISB being setup.
2. Journey so far.
3. India Story - How India racks up as the world's next upcoming destination.
4. ISB story, Life at ISB, diversity, learning, their various centres of excellence. etc.
5. Admissions - How does it stand in terms of competition. How many applications do they receive etc. How much is the Average GMAT, Why is ISB GMAT takers first choice, what do they see in an applicant, what prospects for lateral shifting people like doctors, army personnell, etc.
6. what to expect, what not to expect in terms of placement, how does years of experience matter, what do employees give weightage to.

The presenter was an extremely impressive personality and he also answered all the questions with a lot of zeal, and wit, he was pretty bold (literally) and still very animated, and he knew what he was talking about.
Here are some important highlights from his presentation which might be useful for the audience of my blog.
1. People with 3-4 years of experience are most likely to get attractive job offers during placement week at ISB
2. Suppose 1000 people apply to ISB, and out of that 400 are from IT, 200 from Arts background, then in a final class of say 100 students, 40 will be from IT, 20 from Arts. The admissions committee tries to create diversity by reaching out more.
3. ISB has been ranked 20'th B-school in Financial Times Global ranking.
4. Due to this fact, as opposed to about 5000 / 7500 applicants last year, they estimate the number of applicants will go up for the co' 2010.
5. "Indian IT junta" who comprise almost 42% of their current class size, is differentiated form one another at the time of admissions on the basis of following factors. (1) Their GMAT (2) The undergraduate institution where they come from.(3)

As of now me keeping busy with work and many decisions I have to ponder about... And most importantly, I have to take those decisions, because a hard lesson I have learnt is, the more complicated you make your own decisions, the more complicated they deal with you in return, think enough, and take simple decisions.
Let the peace be upon you all...
