ISB Celebrates Graduation Day of Class of 2008 as 422 Students Pass Out

The ISB has made an indelible mark in the field of management education. The school is truly world class and has pioneered several global best practices in India. Speaking to an animated audience, Chief Guest, K. P. Singh, Chairman of the Board, DLF Ltd., said, "The challenge in India is - how do we manage growth? Our old mind-sets of thinking small and managing shortages come in the way. We need to think big and create surplus. This is possible only through change in education and training of bureaucrats, policy makers, and businessmen alike. It is up to you, the younger generation to help India grow."

Learning at the ISB is not limited to classrooms. The Class of 2008 has done remarkably well. The students have set new trends, organised events, participated and won in B-school competitions, gained international recognition, all this and more while studying for their certificate programme. Rajat Gupta, Chairman of Board, shared his thoughts with the audience. "The ISB has traversed a journey that has been very challenging yet satisfying. The school has a long road ahead, a road, I am sure, which will unfold more accomplishments," he remarked.

The ISB recognises the meritorious students for their achievements. The school awards students with exceptional academic performance. This year the ISB Scholars of Excellence Awards were given to Amit Jain and Chitra Raghunath. "It’s been an honour and pride to top a class of 422 very bright and sincere people. The professors made it very interesting," said Amit, the topper of Class 2008. Chitra Raghunath, the other topper feels very special about her achievement. "Getting this recognition at the ISB is very special to me as I competed with 422 very brilliant students," remarked Chitra. The top 10 percent of the batch made it to the Dean’s List for their distinctive performance in various activities.

The Graduation Ceremony concluded with the ceremonial toss of hats by the outgoing Class of 2008. Families and friends were witness to this emotional and proud moment.
