ISB Announces First Off-campus Post Graduate Programme in Management
August 8, 2016: The Indian School of Business (ISB) today announced the launch of PGPpro - a weekend Post Graduate Programme in Management for working professionals and entrepreneurs.
This is the first time ISB is venturing off campus to offer the Executive MBA equivalent programme in Delhi and Hyderabad on alternate weekends over a period of 16 months.
PGPpro is aligned to the requirements of mid-career professionals looking to consolidate their careers. It prepares participants to enhance their understanding of management techniques along with exposure to current best practices that will allow them to leverage potential opportunities and tackle challenges effectively, leading to advanced professional and personal growth.
