About ISSM BUSINESS SCHOOL

Placement Experience:

In ISSM they are offering internship opportunities for students in 2 semester itself. And most of the companies are offering PPO (Pre Placement Offer) for the interns. Probably mid of 3 semster the students will placed as full time employee before complete their MBA degree. No college will give this kind of opportunities for the students.

Course Curriculum Overview:

One of the key reasons I chose this course was the combination of core management subjects along with specialization options such as Business Analytics, Human Resources, and Digital Marketing.

Salil's Review

The CAT test kicked off the application procedure. The application forms may be found on the official iim website everywhere, and the application price was Rs 1500. We needed to take the exam and pass it before the deadline. That year, the threshold was 80 percentile, and I scored 89.67 , which was above the cutoff. Following that, we had a panel of 12 students participate in a case discussion. We were given a total of 20 minutes to speak about the subject. Social media a boom or bain was the chosen topic. We had a personal interview after that, and then the results were released....Read More
