Choosing the right MBA

Updated on: Monday, January 25, 2010

AS the Indian economy leapfrogs towards becoming a global powerhouse, more and more management graduates are eager to join the booming economy.But, lacking in practical experience, these graduates are not equipped to make a meaningful start.

In keeping with the demands of the time, the Indian School of Business & Finance (ISBF) offers education, training and consultation in the field of economics, finance and management. ISBF believes that an MBA is often the final education frontier before the beginning of a career. Therefore, the school adheres to the following principles:

Firstly, in order to keep up with the latest trends, products and services across industry, the curriculum is updated continuously. Secondly, the emphasis is on a sound theoretical grounding. At the same time, industry exposure is given importance. Thirdly, the pedagogical framework is interactive. It is a balanced blend of classroom instruction, project work, practical experience, research, group work, seminars, and so on. Fourthly, since what one learns from successful practitioners makes the difference, industry interaction through internships, corporate seminars, lectures by practicing managers, MDPs etc is encouraged. Besides, students get an international exposure in terms of exchange programmes with international business schools.

Located in New Delhi, ISBF has a state-of-the-art campus, which is wi-fi enabled and the course is e-integrated for convenient and accessible instruction.

Students can make a choice between a full-time, part-time and distance learning degree/diploma/ professional certificate. The twoyear full-time PG Programme in Management (PGPM) also incorporates an MBA degree from a UGC recognised university.

One of the few ‘affiliate centres’ of the University of London, ISBF offers undergraduate honours degree programmes in economics, finance and management from the University of London - in association with the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). These courses are recognised by Delhi University and even recognised as Master’s degrees by certain universities in India.

ISBF serves the financial services industry as an authorised education provider of the Financial Planning Standards Board (FPSB), India. At the postgraduate level, it offers a one-year full-time PG Diploma in finance that meets the needs of industry professionals by incorporating the course content of CFP and CFA (US)-Levels I and II. Among other courses on the anvil are diplomas in financial planning, investment management, financial risk management, financial modelling and technical analysis.
