Oaindrila Banerjee's Review On International School Of Business And Media - [ISB&M] Nande, Pune

It was an excellent experience not only learning the right tricks of the trade but also the right life skills.

It curriculum was designed in a way to provide the right balance between the basic skill required to perform the job (of the stream one chooses) and the industrial visits, other projects and internship was conducted to give one exposure to the real scenario.

They have record of 100% placement year on year for each and every stream, HR being the strongest followed by Marketing.

We had multiple events throughout the year and all of them were designed to give us a hands on experience with real life scenario. We had a mix of corporate and lifestyle events. There 2-3 day corporate events for each stream like HR, Marketing, Supply Chain and Media. we had two major cultural event in a year one was within the five campuses of our college and the other one was between all the invited colleges (the number varied from 12 - 40) participating colleges.

the total fee was 900000 which was supposed to be paid in 4 installments over 2 years. It was expensive back in the year 2008. I didnt have to pay any additional fee for admission and the college was absolutely transparent about it.The first installment was done before the admission.

No i did not opt for any scholarship or education loan but there were multiple people who did take educational loan to pay the fees.

It was an wonderful campus life which was situated outside the city and spaced out beautifully. We had amazing infrastructure, computer labs, auditoriums, open auditoriums, swimming pool other multiple sports facilities. Even the classes were well equipped with the latest technology.

Yes i did. It was the hostel outside the campus. Each room was shared between two students. There was no facility for food. and we had to eat at the college cafeteria which was included in the fees. The transportation was offered everyday between the college and the hostel.

We had a dedicated Alumni student body who are in constant touch with them. They are being invited or lectures and placements on regular basis.

First there was an all India entrance which was mandatory despite of having MAT and CAT score the scores that one would secure will be a key deciding factor for the location of the campus (Pune being the best out of all). They have amazing track record of placements and the guest faculties were from the top companies.

Each subject will have 3-4 professors who will not teach more than 80 kids at a time. They came from various fields while few had come from completely academic background others came with rich industry experience. We also had guest lectures from different spheres visiting us for special classes who would mostly impart their industry knowledge.
