Summary


Age is fast catching up with the seven-year-old Indian School of Business (ISB).

In the just graduated Class of 2008, out of a total of 422 students, the share of the youngest lot 22 to 25 years is down to 18 per cent from 49 per cent (in the 21-to-25 age bracket) five years ago. It is also the case in absolute numbers, as five years ago the class strength was only 169. In the Class of 2008, 4 per cent of all students were above 35 years against just 1 per cent five years ago.
