The PSU sector is making its presence felt on the Indian School of Business (ISB) campus of Hyderabad this year.
 
The class of 2014 of Post Graduate Programme in Management (PGP) which commenced at the Indian School of Business (ISB) with 774 students at its Hyderabad and Mohali campuses, with 33 professionals from organisations such as Indian railways, Gail, Bhel, and ONGC among others. 
 
In a press statement, ISB said a significant development this year is the marked increase in the number of professionals from PSU/government, healthcare and fashion sectors.

"This class also witnessed a spurt in the number of medical doctors and professionals from the fashion industry," said ISB.
 
The school added that rise in the number of professionals from these sectors, could be attributed to the school's focus on enhancing its class diversity - particularly the 'Diversity Scholarships' launched last year.
 
Around 25 per cent of the students are female and their mean age is 27 years. The mean work experience is five years.
