The ISB All Rounder, The ISB Young Leaders, and The ISB Torch Bearers

Student Life at the ISB is all about commitment to leadership. It is about setting higher goals for oneself all the time. Despite a rigorous, one year academic schedule, students at the ISB volunteer for a host of co-curricular activities, time and again proving their leadership mettle, their keenness to work in teams, and learn from beyond the classroom and the textbooks.

Every year the ISB acknowledges the merit of such students, who during their one year, walk tall in their leadership qualities, commitment, and quality of participation in various student activities. These students are considered eligible for three award categories – The ISB All Rounder, The ISB Young Leaders, and The ISB Torch Bearers.
