This year the student strength stands at 349. Last the figure was 273 and in 2001, at the time of ISB’s inception, it was 126.
ISB Dean M Rammohan Rao said that the reason for a gradual increase in the class strength is ISB’s emphasis on admitting “students of high calibre”.
The institute claims it has made extra effort to attract students from non-metro cities in the country. Students from relatively smaller cities and towns such as Goa, Jaipur, Jammu, Kanpur, Mathura, Mangalore, Solan, Panipat and Thiruvananthapuram have made it to ISB this year.
