Diversity is the Catch Word in ISB’s New Class of 2008

The new Class of 2008 at the ISB has taken off to a great start with students coming in with a wide variety of work experience. 58% of the Class comes from industries such as Pharma, Shipping, FMCG, Healthcare, Media, Medicine, Civil Services, Armed Forces, Manufacturing, Education & Research, Advertising, and a host of other areas.

Industry Background of ISB's Class of 2008

The ISB has emphasised the importance of diversity in the classroom right from the start. The school has made special efforts each year to attract a diverse student body. While 59% of the Class of 2008 comes with an engineering degree (15% less than the last year), the remaining 41% comes from various other backgrounds.

"Peer learning is a very important part of management education," said Prof. M. Rammohan Rao, Dean, ISB. "We often simulate the real world in the classroom, where new situations are created and discussions with a diverse group lead to new perspectives. The experiences shared in the classroom add a lot of depth to the lessons taught by professors, and enriches the teaching overall."
