THEIR CONVOCATION caps went high in the air indicating that their careers too would soar high as they graduated from a prestigious school in the country. The elated faces of 273 students of Indian School of Business (ISB) had a similar expression as they received the degrees of management at the fourth convocation ceremony held here on Saturday. It was a day to remember throughout life for the graduates as they had fulfilled a dream nurtured over the years. With placements already done with handsome packages, they could not have asked for more. They have been recruited in globally well-known companies such as Novartis, Microsoft, McKinsey and others. The prestigious ISB Scholar of Excellence Award was given to Tarandeep Singh Ahuja while the top 15 students of the class were presented with ISB merit scholarship awards. Daniel Vasella, chairman and chief executive officer of Novartis AG was the chief guest while Chairman of ISB, Rajat Gupta, and M. Rammohan Rao, Dean of ISB, spoke.
