Hear it from our Alumni
The journey was very eventful. I spent sleepless nights studying, and that’s how I achieved the LSE scholarship. I would like to mention my teachers, who were very supportive throughout these 3 years of my life.

LSE on full scholarship)
There was no disconnect moving from academic years to professional years. I was taught to think critically, and be aware of what’s happening around the world. Today, when I look back, I think a lot of what I am able to connect to is because of my learning at ISBF.
