It is quite good apparently - I know a number of current students and alumni, and even went along to one of their presentations with a friend (who subsequently went there). Infrastructure is supposed to be amazing. Supposed to be very high pressure course with lots of short courses and short semesters (which means that they are short enough to have a lot of courses taught by visiting professors from abroad). And it was set up by some very high profile names (which slip my mind as well, right now). I think it is rapidly becoming a serious competitor to IIM, but it is targetting a different market - it is only one year, but costs a bomb, and wants people who already have work experience, unlike the 21 year old college grad crowd at the IIMs. Also no entrance exam - more like American application system. Based on the statistics from the presentation I saw a couple years ago, ISB also tends to be dominated by engineers and kids from business families, but still appears to a bit more diverse than the IIMs (especially due to the work experience requirement). > I'd hate to be an IIM student right now, because let's face it the > majority of the kids don't make anywhere near as much.

By some reference to the value they add for their employers? Badri
