Hyderabad: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will attend the 20th anniversary celebrations and the graduation ceremony of the Indian School of Business Post Graduate Programme Class of 2022 here on May 26.

Modi will also address the students of both the Hyderabad and Mohali campuses of ISB on the occasion, with the ISB students from Mohali also to fly down to Hyderabad for the first ever joint graduation ceremony of the school.

Addressing a press conference here on Monday, ISB Dean Prof. Madan Pillutla said the Prime Minister would plant a sapling, unveil a commemorative plaque and release the ISB MyStamp and Special Cover the same day. He would also award medals to the academic scholars of excellence.

The ISB, inaugurated by the then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee in 2001, has had a Prime Minister or President of the country as chief guest on its fifth, 10th and 15th anniversaries, and will have Modi addressing about 930 students on the occasion. Around 600 of them are from the Hyderabad campus, and the rest from Mohali. The distribution of certificates to all students, in the presence of their parents, would be done separately on May 27, for the Hyderabad campus, while for the Mohali batch, the same would be done on May 30, the Dean said.

The ISB, which is among the top five in the world when it comes to class size, has more reason to celebrate, with the research-led business school being ranked 38th globally in the Financial Times Executive Education Custom Programmes Ranking 2022, released on Monday. While ISB’s ranking has jumped to 38th from 64th in 2020, the school has been ranked No.1 in India, Deepa Mani, Deputy Dean (Executive Education and Digital Initiatives), said.

Another significant ranking was that ISB was ranked globally at No.7 on the ‘Future Use’ parameter, which is the likelihood that clients would reuse the same school for other customized programmes in future, she said, adding that they had trained over 49,000 executives so far.

The ISB, which recently signed a knowledge partnership agreement with the union government’s Capacity Building Commission (CBC) to work as training and content partner, has also so far had about 200 participants from different government departments so far for this mission. Apart from training, ISB is also creating learning resources and teaching material, including commissioned research and a bank of case studies from the Indian public sector, Mani added.
