ISB&M Pune Programme Highlights 2027
ISB&M launched its PGDM in 2000, and the Batch 2027-29 intake is the programme's 28th. The PGDM is approved by AICTE, and ISB&M is a member of AACSB and of the Business Graduates Association, part of the AMBA family, since August 2025. The curriculum integrates AI and business analytics with core management subjects, and teaching mixes case studies, live projects, simulations and industry-led workshops. Students also take part in a Leadership Development Programme. An International Immersion Programme and academic collaborations with Cal Poly Pomona (USA) and CTIF Denmark give students global exposure. The ISB&M dual specialisation structure lets a student combine two functional areas instead of one, and the ISB&M Pune PGDM 2027 intake follows the same model.

The ISB&M Pune PGDM curriculum runs over six trimesters and carries 135 credits. Students begin with foundation courses in IT for Managers, Financial Accounting and Principles & Practices of Management. The core of the programme is 22 compulsory courses worth 66 credits, covering marketing, finance, operations, data analytics and HR. Electives make up 20 courses worth 60 credits: 16 in the student's two specialisations and 4 from other areas. An 8-week summer internship and a dissertation complete the credit requirement. The elective choices depend on the ISB&M PGDM specialisations the student selects. The ISBM Pune PGDM 2027 curriculum follows this six-trimester structure.

ISB&M awards merit scholarships worth up to Rs 20 lakh in all to PGDM students who meet all the conditions of a scheme, including a CGPA of 5 or above in the first trimester.

ISB&M also lists an education loan facility for students who wish to finance the fee.
