As a new B-school, what sort of placements will IWSB have?
We are not only targeting to place our students with the largest companies, but also with the fastest-growing companies. Already IWSB’s Centre for Career Services has formally signed up with more than 25 companies for placements and internships. This list is continuously getting longer. By the time you join us it would certainly contain at least 50 companies—some of the best recruiters you can think of. What’s more, we are also in the process of finalizing international companies that would participate in our placements.

You will need to complete 5 to 6 full courses in each term. Each course will have ample work, to be done in addition to attending these sessions. Roughly, it would mean about 5 hours of additional work in a day. While this may sound rigorous, our faculty, methodology, and the learning environment are geared to make you thoroughly enjoy what you do.
