The admission season has started and one finds a lot of discussions and debates happening about ISB. A lot of them have basic questions like 'should I apply for ISB' or 'How is the placement scene'. These are the kind of questions for which you cannot get direct answers. Personally,I felt the discussions and the responses (Ramki's) were better last year than this year. But, the season for admission has just started.Let's wait and watch.

BTW, Stuti came up with the challenges (limitations) that ISB needs to look into.
Nice discussion.

Here are the points:
- Limited diversity in both nationalities represented and professional backgrounds - Indian IT males might form bulk of the classroom

- Limited alumni network, atleast as of now - so how much can you depend on such networks for jobs/opportunities, etc. might be a question

- Limited brand recognition outside of India. So if you are looking to work in the US/Europe or elsewhere, the value you will get from the brand
right now might be limited

- A limited number of full time professors coupled with lack of any research being conducted - I believe a total of 4 or 6 research centres are
currently in the planning stage..

- The diversity of recruiters might be limited. So if you are non-IT background, for e.g. non profit sector, etc., how useful the career office is
in getting you a job, might be limited and so might be the opportunities you get

- Its a 1 year program, so conceptually, its not particularly suited for a career changer

- The range of electives might be smaller than some of the top 15 us b schools

- If you are looking for placement outside of India, its a difficult proposition -as they is a very small percentage of students who get such offers

- Quite a few big shots organizations are on the board of ISB - but how many of these hire at ISB and in what numbers, might be a question.
