While ISBF offers a degree from the University of London, which is not under UGC's jurisdiction, we provide an alternative degree from the School of Open Learning at Delhi University for those who prioritize UGC recognition. This degree is automatically conferred unless a student opts out. As the LSE courses cover all necessary academic requirements, there is no additional burden on the students. Our dedicated faculty supports students through their exams, enabling them to earn dual degrees from both the University of London and the School of Open Learning.

The educational prowess of The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) and the University of London (UOL) is recognized equivalently by prestigious Indian universities including Delhi, Calcutta, and Punjab. ISBF graduates have successfully cleared challenging postgraduate entrance exams and completed esteemed Master’s and MBA programs at institutions like IIM Shillong, IIM Rohtak, ISB, DSE, XLRI, and MSE, leveraging their robust educational foundation.

ISBF boasts a diverse array of clubs and societies including MUN clubs, dance societies, entrepreneurial clubs, and even a billiards club.

Clubs like the entrepreneurship and internship clubs provide a pathway to both academic and co-curricular excellence, preparing students for future challenges.
