The Indian School of Business (ISB) has commenced the academic year for the Class of 2014 (Co2014) of its post graduate programme in management (PGP) at its Hyderabad and Mohali campuses with 774 students.
“Success stories of our alumni demonstrate how the PGP has created a transformational experience to turn several mid-career professionals to global business leaders. We believe that the students of the Co2014 too will make the best use of their year at the ISB, hone their skills and make a mark for themselves in their chosen careers,” ISB deputy dean, Deepak Chandra, said in a release on Tuesday.
Claiming that it earned the distinction of having the largest class among premier B-schools in the country for the second consecutive year, ISB said that a significant development this year was the marked increase in the number of professional from public sector undertaking (PSU), government, healthcare and fashion sectors.
“The present class has 33 professional from organisations such as Indian Railways, Gail, BHEL and ONGC. It also witnessed a spurt in the number of medical doctors and professional from the fashion industry,” the B-school said, attributing the rise in the number of professional from these sectors to the focused approach on the part of the school to enhance its class diversity.
