It’s hard to draw a differentiating line between the two campuses. 

Peer Group: 

The admission committee selects the incoming class and distributes it across the two campuses. So, you will get a similar peer group at both campuses. 

Placements: 

ISB Hyderabad and ISB Mohali conduct placements as a single school. Fore placements, students of one campus fly down to another. Students also don’t mention their campus on their CV. ISB Mohali placements 2022 had an average CTC of INR 34.07 LPA. 

Education: 

The quality of education and pedagogy are the same for both campuses. The faculties shuffle between the campuses and there are guest faculties from reputed B-Schools like MIT, Kellogg, LBS, etc. 

At ISB Mohali, you will get almost the same academic experience as ISB Hyderabad.

How was your experience at ISB Mohali in general? Did you ever feel like you should've been in Hyderabad instead?

My cousin belonged to the Mohali campus of ISB and during her exchange term, she observed and compared the pros and cons of both campuses. I have listed the major pros of both colleges.

ISB Hyderabad

  • Huge batch size ensures peers from a variety of backgrounds.
  • The location is helpful for the students to maintain a good social life
  • ISB Hyderabad has a wider range of student-driven clubs and committed
  • The placement presentations take place at the Hyderabad campus and Mohali students get to join through a video call only

ISB Mohali

  • ISB Mohali has very few resident faculty as it has been recently established. As a result, the institute calls in the best faculty from colleges like Wharton, UNC, and Kellogg to teach. Their pedagogy is unique and ISB Hyderabad lacks in this aspect.
  • The campus is new so the accommodation facilities are better and made to suit all the necessary requirements. These hostels have better furnishing, space, and housekeeping facilities in comparison to the hostels of ISB Hyderabad.
  • The small batch size ensures the quality over quantity belief
  • The choice of electives is done through online bidding at ISB. Hyderabad campus with its huge batch size makes it impossible for all the students to get their choice of electives. Mohali students, in turn, face no such problem because of the small batch size

ISB maintains a strict balance between both campuses and the placement statistics are a testament to that as no major differences can be observed.

Overall my cousin never regretted choosing Mohali over Hyderabad and recommends the same to everyone.

What is the current procedure for selection in ISB (Hyderabad or Mohali) in EEO (early entry option)?

RR
Rakshit Ranjan Posted On : January 30th, 2023

ISB Hyderabad's selection criteria lay great emphasis on Work Experience. The candidates are preferred and differentiated based on this aspect a lot here. To overcome this problem, ISB Hyderabad has come up with an Early Entry Option wherein candidates with little or no work experience can freely be evaluated on the basis of their academic performance, leadership potential, and personality attributes. Some highlights of the selection process of an Early Entry candidate are 

  • The early entry applicants will have to in turn showcase their skills and capability by putting forward their goals, their prior achievements, and experiences, and why they are pursuing an MBA. An early-entry applicant has no work experience so his reason for MBA should be backed by strong goals.
  • Because your academic performance will be the major criterion of evaluating your profile, each and every aspect of the same will be checked thoroughly. Any flaws can pose a problem to your admission.
  • For an Early Entry applicant, his interview round is the most crucial as his personal attributes need to be evaluated which can be done through the interview only.

The best thing an Early Entry applicant can do to increase his/her chances of admission is to get involved in extracurricular activities or get additional certificates and prepare best for the interview

Which one should be chosen: Great Lakes Chennai PGP or ISB Mohali PGP?

Raktim Tarafdar Posted On : July 11th, 2023

I will begin by clarifying that ISB is a single Institute with two campuses and not separate institutes. Anyone who has options for ISB and Great Lakes should go for ISB without any second thoughts. 

ISB is better than Great Lakes in almost every aspect be it academics, reputation, faculty, research opportunities, and placement. If you don’t believe me, contact the alumni of both and you will realize the difference.

My brother has had an experience with both campuses and claims that both colleges are unique in their own aspects. Some major differences between the two campuses are

  • The Mohali campus has better infrastructure owing to its recent construction. It’s decked with modern world-class facilities and is more advanced in comparison to the Hyderabad campus.
  • The Mohali campus is located in North and has better food varieties 
  • The batch size is small at the Mohali campus thereby reducing the competition tremendously.
  • Sometimes the faculty for the same courses is different across the two campuses owing to their availability and other external factors.
  • The Mohali campus has a more relaxed atmosphere than the Hyderabad campus as it is near Chandigarh. Hyderabad campus is always bustling due to the presence of a larger workforce, and colleges.

Rather than choosing the campus, make the best out of whatever is available to you.

At ISB, do you get to select the campus between Hyderabad and Mohali?

YA
Yash Arora Posted On : February 14th, 2023
MBA in Business, Indian School of Business (Graduated 2018)

When applying to ISB, you will not have the option to choose between the campuses in Hyderabad or Mohali. Instead, you will have the opportunity to indicate your campus preference during the application process, but it should be noted that ISB may or may not take this into consideration. This is done in order to maintain equality between the two campuses so that neither campus students feel like they are at a disadvantage. 

While in rare cases, ISB may take your specific location preference into consideration, it is highly unlikely. It should be noted that even in cases where requests for campus change have been made for reasons such as family or health, ISB has denied such requests. This is a reflection of the diverse student body that ISB attracts.

What are my chances of getting into ISB Hyderabad or Mohali?

Firstly it's not up to you to choose Hyderabad or Mohali. You can just apply to ISB and the campus is allotted on the basis of a strange algorithm.

Now coming back to the question of your chances of getting into ISB, it seems I know nothing about your profile. I will state some general points regarding ISB Hyderabad admissions 

  • The first and foremost requirement is entrance exams like GMAT and GRE. The average is around 710 for GMAT and 325 for GRE.
  • You need a minimum of 2 years of work experience 
  • You require and Letter of Recommendation and introspective essays
  • You need to feel a comprehensive application form that attracts the judges

More than work experience, the quality of your work and achievements matter more. While writing the essays mention the unique qualities and roles you have fulfilled in life.
