How to get to ISM 24

“To develop high quality management professionals and entrepreneurs who will contribute to the development of Bihar and the country.”

Vision Mission“We will impart high quality management education through engagement of outstanding instructors and continuous research and will create a system that nurtures ideas that will contribute towards the economic development of Bihar and the country”.

Bihar is not just changing, it’s reinventing itself. It is powerfully positioned not just to participate in India's growth story but also accelerate it. Its academic foundation is now a crucial component of the new, dynamic and global centric Bihar. International School of Management Patna (ISM Patna) is conceiving and nurturing 'consummate managers' by combining the very best of technical, physical and teaching infrastructure; designed globally but adapted locally. As seamless as the formation of nature by its five core elements—fire, water, air, earth and space. At ISM, we believe, the force of the 'consummate managers' will overcome the gaps in Bihar's Global Awakening and Economic Empowerment.

The Force of the 'Consummate Managers'

It gives me immense pleasure to welcome you all to this grand initiative towards creating a quality management institute matching national and international standards. The idea of establishing this institute had come at a time when Bihar started catching up the eyes of the different business houses under the forward looking and progressive government. With the recent spurt in business activities in this space, there is a requirement of trained managers. In the absence of any premier business school in this region a demand supply gap has been created. International School of Management, Patna has been established as a premier B-school to fill this gap and contribute towards the socio-economic development of the state.

We have engaged a very high quality faculty pool and a very advanced industry relevant curriculum to enhance the teaching standards. To further this effort, we have ensured that students get the best infrastructure available to help them succeed in their endeavor.

Last but not the least; I welcome all the prospective students and stakeholders to ISM once again!

Chairman’s Message

The fast changing economic profile of India, with its emergence as one of the economic powerhouses, has opened a plethora of new challenges in almost every domain and in particular the management space. The stupendous growth shown by Bihar is another positive change which has added to the increased need of dynamic management professionals, both in India and in particular in Bihar.

Keeping this in mind, International School of Management Patna (ISM) has been established to pursue excellence in the field of management education and promote entrepreneurship in Bihar. ISM hopes to change the present management education scenario in this part of the country. The first step in this direction is to provide an academic environment where students can benefit from distinguished faculties as well from peers. ISM has drawn faculty members from institutes like Harvard University, IIMs, IITs, and other Premier B-schools. The second step has been the setting up of curriculum which is relevant and specifically caters to the requirements of industries. The key reason behind opting for PGDM, rather than university MBA, was the flexibility that we get in case of former in terms of designing the curriculum. The third step has been setting up of quality infrastructure which can support envisioned system of learning.

Promoting entrepreneurship is another key focus for the school. The development of Bihar cannot be complete unless companies from Bihar establish their presence outside the state and country. ISM has formed Business incubation centre for promoting and supporting new ventures.

We at ISM, welcome all our prospective students and other stakeholders in making this effort a success story.

The Need for Management EducationToday, in the fast shrinking world, effective use of resources has become a great challenge and thus, greater stakes are involved in every small decision. Therefore, the precision level of every decision has to go up. Hence, the upcoming generation must learn the approach of management rather than just focusing upon few principles of management. Management education focuses on diverse areas of knowledge which empowers the participants to take up challenges and meet them successfully.

Focusing on the context of Bihar, where majority of the businesses are unorganized, we find that its economy has shown an impressive growth of 11.44% (CSO). Therefore, it requires a pool of talented managers who can work and contribute in the development of Bihar. At ISM, we will ensure that students not only learn the basic principles of Management but also learn the art of implementing these principles in work life effectively.

possibilities. At ISM, ‘passion’ evolves into a passionate leadership that inspires both,

people and progress.

The Locational Advantage

According to the Central Statistical Organization’s (CSO) growth data for 2008-2009, Bihar has shown a growth of 11.44%, which is second highest in India after Gujarat.

According the World Bank report on doing Business in India 2009, Patna is ahead of Mumbai and second only to New Delhi when it comes to launching a new business initiatives.

According to ASSOCHAM’s study of the employment scenario in India between April and October 2009-10, Patna registered a growth of 20.52 percent in job creation. The ranking assumes special significance since cities like Bhopal, Amritsar, Gwalior and Ludhiana have

witnesses a decline in job creation by 26.68 per cent.

In Bihar there is no dearth of quality institutions with IIT, NIT, CHANAKYA LAW SCHOOL, and NIFT to name a few. This throws an opportunity for a good management school to impart quality management to the students which is lacking in this part of the region.

Since a lot of big companies are expanding their operation in Bihar there is a huge requirement of trained Business Professionals who can work from here.

With a stable government there are lots of investment projects coming up in Bihar, in particular in Patna and to support this company’s need trained resource for proper execution of the projects.

Bihar has seen its own ups and downs and the history is testimony to it. Facing some of the turmoil in the recent past, Bihar is at the outset of a new era. If we talk about the facts and figures they seem to emphasize the same.

Why ISM?The interesting syllogism — ‘Intellectually Sharp and Methodical’ precisely describes the academic milieu at ISM. Faculty members at ISM are academic adventurers with their passion for all round intellectual development leading to immense growth and inculcation of value based education. They are top professionals, with their long experience in their respective fields, who form the backbone of ISM.

To support the process of learning, ISM has 2.5 acres state-of-the-art campus located amidst green surroundings close to Patna. The campus has amphitheatre classrooms and auditorium with advanced audio-visual aids to enhance the learning experience. The college also boasts of a library named after noted nuclear scientist and Ex-President Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam. The library has a collection of the most sought after books on management and other related disciplines.

At ISM, students are treated as intelligent and matured professionals. From time to time they are engaged with businesses and industrial units as well as government organizations to get the hands-on experience of their learning. They get exposure to real working conditions through which they learn to get on with their job and mature with time.

Clubs

ULLAS Adventure Club

ULLAS, an adventure club, is a student initiative that encourages students to feel the fire of life and continue to accept new challenges coming their way. Rock climbing, sightseeing, trekking, cycling, management games and photography are the few activities undertaken by the club.

UMANG Sports Club

Teamwork is the soul of business management and setting up UMANG is a step in this direction. Keeping this in view this club aims to set the mood of students for working together with multiplied zeal to step ahead and achieve their goal. Sports events have taken place on its campus from time to time.

CANVAS Painting club

CANVAS is a painting club where students interact, exchange ideas, learn through experimentation and express themselves through colours.

ABHIVYAKTI Theatre Club

To unfold the spirit of beauty blended with reality and showcase the wonderful and aesthetic element in human persona ABHIVYAKTI has come up. The stage is set for students to appear in different forms, enact people dotting our society and win the final applause. This aims to explore the multiple dimension of human growth lying within.

Industrial ExposureTheoretical learning is rather a limitation, if it is not complemented with practical learning. Keeping this in mind ISM has always encouraged its students to engage with different companies and businesses to get a practical insight into real life problems. One such instance was engaging our students in a sales assignment at Tata Teleservices Ltd. (TTSL) before the commencement of the marketing course. Students had a practical experience of direct sales and close interaction with variety of customers to identify the real issues faced by a salesman. The learning and experiences of every student was shared in the classroom and were correlated with different theories to have a better understanding of marketing concepts.

The course curriculum also has compulsory Summer Internship in companies at the end of the first year so that, students get a chance to apply the concepts they have learnt in the first year. Students are required to submit a report of their summer internship which is evaluated by a panel of faculty members.


Rural ExposureAs a part of its endeavour to prepare future corporate managers with a better understanding on growing rural market, ISM has teamed up with non- governmental organisations to give rural exposure to all the students. With the growing consumerism in rural areas, bigger brands are eyeing towards rural India as a potential market for growth and it is expected that, young managers have a firm understanding of the rural market.

In the first year, as a part of compulsory rural induction program, students were taken to Sarai village (distt. Vashali), where they got the opportunity to study the rural market, rural buying patterns and marketing strategies being followed by the various companies. The students were also exposed to the functioning of various micro-finance institutions and the self-help groups.

directed to evolve into a passionate leadership and become a meaningful momentum of progress.

Centre for CSR Initiatives The idea of “Centre for CSR Initiatives” for private players in Bihar has been conceptualized in view of enhancing the contribution of corporate in community development. The World Bank report published in various newspapers indicating Patna as the second most suitable place for business in India, heralds entry of several new players in the region. Thus, the corporate will have greater choice for their CSR activity in the region.

Centre for CSR Initiatives will solely function as a Research and Development support agency to CSR initiatives of private companies in Bihar. This centre will conduct research on the performance of different programmes being run under CSR initiatives of corporate and also, help them partner private players in identifying the potential agencies for undertaking the activity.

Centre for CSR Initiatives will also develop programmes for NGOs on demand and provide necessary R&D support as per their requirement. This will indeed be a step towards the capacity building of NGOs through R&D support.


“An institute with honest intent and desire to make all round development to its students.”

Prof. Anindra Haldar

The Entrepreneurship Incubation CentreOur vision is not only to create a pool of efficient managers but also, to produce Entrepreneurs as well, who can lead by example. Therefore, the Institute has a dedicated Entrepreneurship Incubation Centre, which involves the followings:

It nurtures innovative ideas and puts highly directional efforts towards successfully executing them.•

It provides faculty guidance and facilitates feasibility studies on business ideas of the students.•

International CertificationISM has aligned its courses with some of the industry relevant and internationally recognized certification courses like Charted Financial Analyst (CFA), Financial Risk Management (FRM), Actuarial Sciences, etc. and the college encourages students to take up one of these courses. Since these certifications are internationally recognized and highly acclaimed by the industries, they prove to be of great help in fetching handsomely paid industry specific jobs. Apart from institute’s and faculty’s help, our course curriculum has been designed in such a way that it covers most of the relevant and important topics required to complete these courses.

Abhishek Kumar

“I am privileged to be a part of ISM. It has given me a platform to learn and acquire management skills. It has maintained a quality standard which will help many to fulfill their aspiration. As a student, I have gained a lot and feel safe and secure under its aegis.”

“Being a student of ISM, I will say that it provides a top class education to us through its highly qualified faculty members. Most important thing that separates this college from other management schools is that it provides education with practical orientation than a theory focus. For example, we all did a sales training in Tata Tele Services Ltd. before the start of the Marketing course. I don’t think I could have been able to get this pedagogy anywhere else.”
