Dean’s message 

Dear Associate, 

It is with great pride that I introduce to you the ISB’s tenth graduating class of the Post Graduate Programme in Management. 

In keeping with the ISB’s vision of grooming future leaders, the ISB has over the nine years, consistently shaped high quality 

business leaders, who are valued as much for their analytical capabilities, as for their maturity and leadership skills. The 571 

students of the Class of 2011 are well equipped to take this tradition forward. 

The Class is diverse in terms of academic, professional and cultural backgrounds. Many of them have international work 

experience and have worked across different countries and cultures. They are well-rounded individuals, with much more than 

academic achievement to their credit. 

At the ISB, we pride ourselves in providing our students with a transformational experience. I am sure that they will bring to 

their professional pursuits, a global perspective with an understanding of business practices in emerging markets, and more 

importantly, a perceptive mindset to adapt to changing business realities. 

We look forward to working with you to provide the best talent for your organisation. 

Best Regards, 

Ajit Rangnekar 

Dean, Indian School of Business

Placement process at the ISB 

Policies for Recruiters 

The placement process is designed to ensure that both the 

recruiter and the student are able to spend quality time with 

each other and arrive at satisfying decisions. The Career 

Advancement Services (CAS) office at the ISB will work 

towards ensuring a flawless placement process. 

To optimise the recruiting experience, CAS follows a fivestep 

process: 

• Online Registration 

• Pre-placement Talks 

• Job postings, Applications (Expression of Interest and 

Resume) and Shortlists 

• Interviews 

• Job Offers and Acceptances 

Online Registration 

Recruiters are required to register online at 

www.isb.edu/placement. For any assistance in registering, 

the CAS team may be contacted. Recruiters are required to 

accept the terms and conditions by mailing a printed signed 

copy of ‘Terms and Conditions for campus recruitment’ 

available on the website to the CAS office. 

Companies offering Experiential Learning Projects (ELPs) 

and wishing to make Pre-placement Offers (PPOs) should 

inform the CAS Office and PGP Projects Office before 

January 01, 2011. If a student receives a PPO it will be 

considered as One Offer of the two which s/he is eligible for, 

and if accepted, it will be treated as an ‘Accepted Offer’ and 

the student will be out of the placement process. All other 

companies would follow the Placement Process as detailed 

below. 

Pre-placement Talks (PPTs) 

November 01, 2010 onwards 

This is an ideal opportunity for companies to share 

information about their organisations with students and to 

make it possible for them to explore career options. 

• Time slots for PPT vary by day of the week: 

Monday to Friday - 1930 hrs to 2300 hrs 

Saturday and Sunday - 1100 hrs to 1730 hrs 

• ISB gives equal opportunity to all recruiters. Each PPT 

therefore is allotted 45 minutes: 

• 30 minutes for presentation 

• And 15 minutes to respond to students’ queries 

• To register a date and time for PPT, please log on to our 

placement website www.isb.edu/placement 

• The CAS Office will arrange for facilities (audio-visual 

and support services) that may be needed for the 

presentation. Companies are requested to let CAS 

know about their requirements in advance 

Job Posting, Applications and Shortlist 

• Job postings can be uploaded by the recruiter on the 

ISB placement website 

• Students will respond by submitting their applications 

(Expression of Interest and Resume) according to the 

company’s deadlines 

• Companies are requested to forward shortlist to the 

CAS office at least 7 Days before the interview date.

process includes: 

a) Any Questionnaire, written assessment / psychometric 

test or group discussions. 

Policy for senior students 

ISB has senior students with 8 or more years of work 

experience. They need a separate process, as they may 

have to go through multiple rounds of detailed interviews, 

considering their seniority. The placement process for these 

students will start earlier. 

Job Offers and Acceptance policy 

• The ISB allows a student to receive TWO offers or 

accept ONE offer. Thereafter, the student exits the 

placement process 

• To facilitate logistics for international companies/ teams, 

who cannot come in during the regular placement 

schedule starting on January 14, 2011, CAS allows 

them to complete the process earlier. The dates could 

be fixed in consultation with CAS. Such companies will 

have to hand over sealed Final Interview Forms (FIF) 

& offers to CAS and these offers will be opened only 

at the end of the first day of Placements (January 16, 

2011) 

• Companies are requested to process the Visa 

requirements and other travel formalities, for students 

who may have to attend an interview in any of the 

client’s international/ domestic locations 

• All companies are requested to hand over the filled in 

FIF to CAS, on completion of the process and to send 

the Formal Offer Letter within seven days, to the CAS 

Office 

• Final Interview Form: To make an offer to a student, 

companies need to complete the FIF 

• At the end of the final interview, if company 

representatives are considering making an offer to 

the student, they have to fill in the FIF with details of 

offer which is then signed by the student 

• On deciding to make an offer, the offer confirmation 

portion is completed, by the recruiter and then the 

FIF is handed over to the CAS Office in a sealed 

envelope 

• CAS will broadcast the student status on the 

placement website at the end of each placement day. 

All companies are advised to check the status of their 

shortlisted students on the website 

• Students are required to confirm their Acceptance/ 

Rejection of job offers according to the company’s 

deadline. The earliest offer acceptance deadline that a 

recruiter can ask for is the end of the next placement 

day
