Should you pick Advanced Diploma in Operations Management at ISB?

This course suits working professionals who want operations roles and can study while keeping their job.

Pick it if:
You work in manufacturing: ISB links this course to its manufacturing institute, so class examples stay close to factory and supply chain work.
You cannot leave your job: the course uses live online classes and four short residencies across 12 months.
You want the ISB name: the school has three global accreditations and FT ranked it #27 in 2025.
Your work story is ready: apply with clear role examples, because ISB reads your profile before it calls you.
Skip it if:
You need campus hiring: AMPOS is for working professionals, so it is not built like a full placement course.
You cannot travel to Mohali: three residencies are at Mohali and one residency is at Hyderabad.
You count on a low fee: the course fee is INR 11.39 Lakhs before travel cost.
You have under 3 years of work: wait and build a stronger role story before you pay the application fee.
Counsellor's advice
If you already work in operations or supply chain, take it for growth inside that field. If you need campus hiring, choose a full time MBA.

FAQs on Indian School of Business Advanced Diploma in Operations Management

Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.

Is this course worth the fee?▾
Yes, if you already work in operations or supply chain. The fee without travel is INR 11.39 Lakhs and ISB PGP Class of 2026 averaged INR 37.29 LPA. AMPOS is not a campus hiring course, so check whether your employer or role can use the ISB learning before you pay.
Should I take it if I need a placement course?▾
No, not as your main placement plan. AMPOS is built for working professionals and has four short residencies across 12 months. ISB-wide placement numbers are strong, but this course does not work like the full time PGP. Pick it for role growth, not for a campus job search.
What job can this course help with?▾
It can help with operations, manufacturing, supply chain and transformation roles. The official AMPOS page links the course to manufacturing and operations leadership. If you already work in that area, use the projects and ISB network to move toward a bigger role inside the same field.
Who should pick this course at ISB?▾
Pick it if you have a degree, clear work examples and about 5 years of experience. The course is part time, so you can keep working while you study. If your work is close to factories, supply chain or process improvement, your application story will read stronger.
Who should skip this course?▾
Skip it if you want a full campus life or a full time MBA placement season. The course has live online classes and four residencies, not a two-year campus stay. Also skip it if the INR 11.39 Lakhs fee needs a job switch right away to feel safe.
Is 3 years of work experience enough?▾
It can be enough only for some profiles. ISB says postgraduates, entrepreneurs and consultants with 3 years of work experience can apply. Most working professionals should read the 5-year rule as the safer route. Use the profile checker above before you start the form.
Is GMAT needed for this course?▾
No, GMAT is not needed for AMPOS. The official FAQ says there is no GMAT requirement. You still need a strong form, work details and essays because ISB reviews your profile before selection. Keep your role proof ready before you apply.
Can I keep my job while studying?▾
Yes, that is the main fit of this course. AMPOS is a 12-month blended course with live online classes and four residencies. Three residencies are at Mohali and one is at Hyderabad. Check your leave plan before you pay the first fee.
Is the Mohali campus important for this course?▾
Yes, because most residencies are at Mohali. ISB says three residencies are held at Mohali and one at Hyderabad. If travel to Mohali is hard, add the travel and local living cost in the fee block and speak to your employer early.
How much will I pay in total?▾
The fee without travel is INR 11.39 Lakhs. The travel and local living estimate used here takes the working total to INR 12.59 Lakhs. The refundable security deposit is INR 5,000 and is not counted in the fee total. Confirm the final fee on the ISB site.
Can scholarships reduce the fee?▾
They may reduce the cost, but you must confirm each route. The calculator above uses a base fee of INR 11.39 Lakhs and shows aid from INR 40,000 to INR 2 Lakhs. Ask ISB about AMP waivers and employer support before you plan a loan.
Should I wait one year before applying?▾
Wait if you have under 3 years of work experience or no clear operations story yet. Apply now if you meet the degree rule and can show strong work in operations, manufacturing or supply chain. A better role story can matter more than applying early.
