ISB ups student intake by 20%

The Indian School of Business (ISB) has announced that it has increased its student intake by 20% for the current Class of 2007. The Class of 2007-all working professionals-has 418 students, compared to 345 students in the Class of 2006. ISB will now be counted as one among the largest top B-Schools in the world, a release said.

The standards are higher this year with 53% students from the new class having secured GMAT scores of over 700. The average GMAT score has increased to 706 from 694 last year. This is comparable to GMAT scores of students at the world’s top B-Schools and is a matter of pride for the ISB and Indian management education. Further, to encourage meritorious and deserving students, the ISB has offered scholarships worth Rs 1.67 crore at the time of admission. Scholarships have been offered to nearly 20% of the class and will also be awarded by companies during the academic year.

Scholarships exclusively for women students are also being offered. At the end of the academic year, the top 20 students who are selected for the Dean’s list will be offered merit scholarships.Another highlight of the new class at the ISB is the significant increase in the number of women students. Their number, which has gone up to 87 from 67 last year, represents 20% of the Class of 2007, which is comparable to some top European B-schools.
