PGPpro, ISB's version of a Weekend Executive MBA (EMBA) programme gives participants a chance to learn from outstanding faculty from the best B-schools in the world at no opportunity cost or travel cost. There are several advantages of this programme:
World Class Faculty
The School offers a combination of outstanding resident faculty and visiting faculty from partner schools and other top global B-schools. They have extensive teaching, research and industry background and work towards bringing the latest management practice to classroom learning. Participants gain valuable insights as faculty members share cutting-edge management concepts, global industry trends, business practices and their own practical knowledge to classroom.
Classroom-based Learning
Participants get the opportunity to be back in classroom with an exceptional group of individuals and to be taught by the finest faculty. Classroom learning is facilitated by faculty teachings and peer experiences. Classes are held in Delhi (NCR), Mumbai and Hyderabad on every alternate weekend (Saturday and Sunday) at the ISB’s designated centres along with visit to ISB’s Hyderabad and/or Mohali campus.
Peer Group Learning
The programme office aims to craft a class of extraordinary individuals from diverse professional backgrounds possessing similar outlook and aspirations. Peer learning is an important component of classroom experience. Participants learn and contribute to each other’s experience, discover new perspectives and gain understanding of diverse functions, industries and organisational practices.
