Hostel & Mess Charges
The school provides modern hostel facilities with amenities designed to support a comfortable living experience for students. Hostel charges include accommodation in triple-sharing rooms with attached bathrooms, internet connectivity, and 24-hour security services. The monthly cost of hostel stays is approximately INR 6,667 per month, which equates to an annual charge of INR 80,000.
Mess charges are inclusive of three meals daily (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) served in a hygienic environment. The average cost per meal is around INR 150, making the monthly mess expense approximately INR 13,500 or INR 30,000 annually.
Return on Investment (ROI) Analysis
The ROI for students at ISBA can be calculated based on their average placement package compared to the total cost of education over two years. Given that the average annual fee is INR 1,510,000 and the average starting salary is INR 1,200,000, the ROI is approximately 18%. This figure increases significantly when considering long-term career growth and leadership development opportunities.
For example, a student who graduates with an average package of INR 1,200,000 would have recouped their initial investment within about 13 months. Moreover, the school's alumni network provides ongoing career support, which further enhances the long-term value proposition for students.
Additionally, the ROI improves when factoring in the potential for promotions and raises throughout a graduate’s career. Many ISBA alumni have achieved leadership roles in Fortune 500 companies, where their salaries often exceed INR 5,000,000 annually, leading to an overall ROI that exceeds 100% over a decade.
Financial Aid and Scholarships
To ensure accessibility, ISBA offers various forms of financial assistance including merit-based scholarships, need-based aid, and external funding opportunities. The school's scholarship programs are designed to support students from diverse backgrounds without compromising academic excellence.
Merit-based scholarships are awarded based on performance in entrance exams and academic achievements during school years. Need-based financial aid is available for students whose families fall below a specified income threshold. Additionally, the school partners with organizations like ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank to provide low-interest loans to qualified applicants.
Payment Options
ISBA accepts payments via online banking, credit/debit cards, NEFT, RTGS, and UPI transfers. For students unable to pay the full amount upfront, installment plans are available with manageable monthly dues. The school also allows parents to make payments directly through the official portal, ensuring transparency and ease of transactions.
Additional Expenses
Beyond tuition and hostel fees, students may incur additional costs related to books, stationery, travel, and optional activities. These expenses typically range from INR 50,000 to INR 100,000 annually, depending on individual preferences and participation levels.
