Undergraduate programs are provided by the Indian School of Business and Finance (ISBF) in partnership with the University of London and the London School of Economics (LSE).
A personal interview and the Indian Management and Entrepreneurship Test (iMET) are required for admission to ISBF's undergraduate programs.
It is therefore not possible to join ISBF immediately without first completing the admissions procedure. But in order to be considered for a postgraduate programme at ISBF, you must hold a bachelor's degree or its equivalent, have a current GMAT or GRE score, and have worked a full-time job for at least 24 months.
