Should you pick AMPPP at Indian School of Business?

This course suits students who want a public policy role and can live in a two ISB campuses for one year.

Pick it if:

You passed bachelor degree in this state: half the seats are Home State, so a rank that misses the Other State list can still get in.

You want public policy roles, not only service IT: the course-wise placement table lists the same four product recruiters in each of the last three years.

Your family can pay only in two parts: you pay the tuition fee in eight parts, and a request to split it further opens every August.

You want the fee back fast: at the average pay the full course fee comes back inside the first working year, as the ROI tile shows.

Skip it if:

You are counting on last year's closing rank: it has got tougher three years in a row, so last year's number is not a safe rank.

You need a single residency stay from the first year: participants share three to a residency stay and single residency stays open only from year 3.

You want internships in a big city: this is a two ISB campuses, so the placement cell brings most internships here.

You will decide late: the ISB admission fee date comes fast, so keep papers ready before the offer.

In short

Northfield costs less and pays more on average, but its closing rank is about 3,000 places tougher. If your rank clears both, take Northfield; if it clears only ISB, take this seat and do not wait for the spot round.

In short

Riverbank places more of its batch but charges INR 75,000 more over one year and pays a little less. If its easier closing rank is what you need, keep it one place below ISB in your choice list as the safer seat.

In short

Harbour charges the same fee but pays about INR 1 LPA less on average and has half the seats. If ISB gives you a seat in any round, take it; Harbour belongs below it in your list, not above it.

In short

Lakeside costs a little more and pays about the same, but it has more seats and an easier closing rank. If your rank misses ISB in the early rounds, list Lakeside right below it and take whichever comes first.

In short

Summit is the cheapest seat here and the easiest to get, but its average pay sits below this page's. If ISB allots you a seat in any round, take it and keep Summit only as your backup.

Fees and pay can change. Check each college site before you decide.

FAQs on Indian School of Business AMPPP

Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.

Is AMPPP at this college worth the fee?▾

Yes, for most students who get in policy roles. The full fee without travel is INR 14.01 Lakhs and the last batch averaged INR 28 LPA, so the fee comes back within the first working year. If a loan will pay the fee, read the EMI line in the fee block above before you decide.

Should I take this seat if my rank is just above the closing rank?▾

Not on last year's number alone. The General Home State seat closed at rank 5 in round 6 and it got tougher three years in a row, so a rank that just cleared last year may miss this year. Keep this college in your list with a safer college above it, and use the rank checker above for your own category.

What job will I get after this course?▾

Most students get software jobs with product and IT services companies that hire on campus in the seventh semester. The Class of 2025 averaged INR 28 LPA, the median was INR 24 LPA and 92% of the batch was in policy roles. If you want a core electronics job instead, this course is not the right pick.

Who should not take this course here?▾

Skip it if you need a single residency stay from the first year, or if you want internships in a big city. Participants share three to a residency stay and single residency stays open only from year 3. The campus is in a two ISB campuses, so the placement cell brings most internships and few come on their own. If either of these matters more than the placement figures, pick a city college.

Is this course good for higher studies and research?▾

Yes, if you plan for it from year 2. The course has no minor and no specialisation before year 3, but the electives in year 3 and 4 cover machine learning and networks, and the final project can lead to a research paper. Talk to the department in year 2 about a project with a faculty member, because that is what a good master's application needs.

Should I wait a year and try for a better rank?▾

Only if you can raise your rank by a lot, not a little. The General closing rank got tougher three years in a row, so a small gain may still miss the seat next year. If you already clear this year's cutoff, take the seat now and try a course change after year 1 if you want a sibling course.

Will I get in policy roles if I am in the bottom half of the batch?▾

Most likely yes, but later and at a lower package. 92% of the last batch was in policy roles, and the median of INR 24 LPA is lower than the average of INR 28 LPA because the last students take the smaller offers. Keep your CGPA above the cutoff the companies set, usually 7, and join the placement training the cell holds in year 3.

Is this course better than ECE at this college for me?▾

Pick AMPPP if you want a software job and ECE if you want a core electronics job. AMPPP places a bigger share of its batch with public policy roles, and its closing rank is the tougher of the two. If you get ECE now and want AMPPP, the course change after year 1 needs a top CGPA, so do not count on it.

How do I get admission to this course?▾

Take the ISB application exam and fill this college in your ISB admission team choice list. A seat comes in the round your rank clears, and you must accept it and pay the seat fee within the days ISB admission team gives. Then report with your papers on the date in the admission dates block above, or you lose the seat.

What is the full fee for the course?▾

The full 1-year fee is INR 14.01 Lakhs without travel. With travel estimate it comes to INR 15.51 Lakhs. Both totals sit in the fee block above, and the toggle there shows what the travel adds each year.

Can I pay the fee in parts?▾

Yes. You pay the tuition fee semester by semester, so the money is never due all at once. If you need smaller parts than that, write to the fee office before the semester starts; the request opens every August.

Do I get the fee back if I drop the seat?▾

It depends on when you leave. If you leave before the counselling body's exit date, most of the fee comes back. If you leave after it, the college keeps a part, so read the refund table in the fee block before you pay.
