Welcome, my friends, to life @ ISME.

After my selection over here, the first major impact that the institute made on me was in the form of the service information guide that was sent to us.
On arriving at the ISME campus, we had a very useful foundation module of one week during which all the participants got down to the same level of understanding regarding the basic concepts of management. Speaking of sensitizing oneself about the rigors of management life, the academic rigor started to take the toll by the end of very first week into the actual program. The term started with a bang with a whole lot of assignments, presentations and classes. If I haven't said so already, ISME offers one of the most rigorous 16-months MBA program on the lines of B-schools in Europe. Engineering days now seem like a long vacation.

Located one block away from ITPL (International Tech Park Ltd.), ISME gets you as close to the corporate life as possible. The small but state-of-the-art campus maintains its hasty lifestyle. Being at ISME means that we get to interact with some of the most expert minds from all over the country, which gives us a good simulation of life in the corporate world. This even means having guest lectures on the week-ends, but no one is complaining.

True to our brand image, we have faculty members from global B-schools like Wharton, Carnegie Mellon and Purdue. Each participant at ISME brings with himself/herself a vast sea of knowledge and experience. We have an average work experience of 8 months and I am talking about work experience in companies like Dell, Infosys, Standard Chartered, India Bulls... and lots more.

Apart from classroom learning, there is so much else to do over here. Take for example the neuro-linguistic programming sessions. During these sessions, we learn things like sensory acuity, interpersonal skills, etc. It's something really great. Our hostel (Knightsbridge Apartments) is one of the best places to live in Bangalore, facilities like club house, gym and swimming pool add spice to the otherwise academically loaded life. They also help us in better planning of our spare time.

All this gives me a perfect environment of the kind of learning experience that I was looking forward to when I was preparing for CAT. So guys, if you are looking for a quality education, then I am sure ISME will offer lots more than what you bargained for.

Concluded.
