First batch at ISB Mohali to commence in April 2012. Admissions will open in 2011.
The ISB Mohali campus will have four institutes focusing on areas critical to India’s development: Max India Institute of Healthcare Management, BML Munjal Hero Honda Institute of Manufacturing Excellence and Innovation, Bharti Institute of Public Policy and Punj Lloyd Institute of Physical Infrastructure Management.
In addition to the existing partner schools, ISB has partnered with MIT Sloan to support these institutes.
The construction of the Mohali campus is expected to be completed by March 2012. Thee first academic session is expected to commence in April 2012, with an intake of 210 students.
15 April 2011 Update:
The ISB’s flagship Post Graduate Programme in Management (PGP) will be delivered in two locations starting April 2012 with a total intake of 770 students, spread across Hyderabad (560) and Mohali (210).
Course offerings
The entire curriculum and the teaching pedagogy will be the same. The first four terms (core terms) will be the same on both the campuses.
The elective course offerings will be as follows:
- Hyderabad: Marketing, Finance and Strategy & Leadership, Operations, Information Technology and Entrepreneurship.
- Mohali: Marketing, Finance and Strategy & Leadership, Healthcare and Manufacturing
Single Admission Process
There will be a single Admissions process to both the Hyderabad and the Mohali campus. Applicants would be required to indicate their preference of campus in the online application. The Admissions process does not take the campus preference into consideration while evaluating the application and therefore will have no impact on the selection process. The campus allotment decision will be taken up after we prepare the final list admits. While we will try and accommodate your campus preference to the extent possible, the ISB reserves the right of allotment of the campus, to maintain the diversity of the class profile and subject to the availability of the seats.

Hi goisb team,
Thanks for this post. Is it confirmed that when ISB opens application for 2012 session in May 2011, it will open up Mohali Campus. Will the application process remain same?
I am based out of Chandigarh and can’t leave the city because of personal reasons, so ISB mohali is the only and the best option for me.
Thanks

Harjinder,
Thats what we know. But obviously you can’t bank on that unless ISB site says app open for Mohali.
This is because delays can come due to anything…delay in construction progress, approvals, faculty…..

hi,,
that’s great , but one this that’s coming in my mind is that,,
what would be the admission criteria…
Hi,
The criteria will be the same as ISB Hyderabad. Infact an applicant will need to submit only one application for both the campuses Hyderabad or Mohali.

Jai,
There is no official update from ISB but according to some alumni the work is on track and admissions for Mohali should open this year for batch entering in 2012.
We will keep the thread updated.

Any idea what will be the criteria on how adcom decides to allocate selected candidates between H’ydbad and Mohali
Thanks
MR
Hi MR,
No official update from ISB on this but think it will be on merit basis. The first 4 terms are the same so it doesn’t matter. After that its dependent on which specialization you choose and whether you are allocated that specialization or not. But agree this is fuzzy.

Hello,
Can you tell me,Is work experience must for taking admission in MBA in ISB?
Thanks
Yes Anshuma.
ISB requires a minimum of 2 years of work experience. In rare cases ISB gives deferred admission to extraordinary candidates with less than 2 years of experience where they can join ISB after completing atleast 2 years of experience.

defenitely. Min of 2 yrs work exp is required. Because it’s a one year program.
