1) Are there sufficient networking opportunities in ISB (with the alumni and industry leaders), or, is the school overly focussed on acads like the IIMs?

2) How good is ISB for finance (particularly in fields of Investment Management and Corporate finance). In terms of number of specialized firms coming to the campus, quality of roles offered and the remuneration.

3) How big is the retail finance in India, in general? Is it mostly the back office support for the banks overseas or the Indian players and the domestic markets are big enough. And are good offers made out in this functional area in ISB?

4) And in the domain of strategic consulting, how many offers are made out by the big consulting firms (BCG, McKinsey, Bain Consulting etc.) on average year over year

I did attend an Info session conducted by an alumni in Chicago. But he was from the first batch of ISB so there must have been significant changes since he has left the institute. Also, all the replies were diplomatic in tenor and were like blanket replies.

Any insightful replies are welcome.

Thanks
