ISB is a tough bet, since average class of ISB has experience around 5-8 years. But yeah IIM's have this years of exp

Hello Anshuman,

Ideally European bschools are best if you have more work ex. But to answer your question,
IIMs are safe schools. Infact, their exec MBAs have min. 5 yrs work ex, so 13 shouldn't be an issue. Just quote leadership abilities and times where you had a huge role in some profit making deal etc.,

ISB however, tries to place people and they want you to explain in details about your long term and short term goals. Why MBA in first place and why now?
Let's say if you got a story that is indeed some sort of a journey , say from coding to data science to middle management etc., then you can shape your essays well and even ISB is also possible. But it certainly depends on how well you craft it.
Hope it helps.

In addition to PGP Program you can also explore the PGP Pro Program. I'd recommend you to attend an ISB info session and directly talk to the PGP Pro representative.

For ISB PGP Program, or for the matter of fact any 1 year full time residential program (such as that of IIMs) you must have a good story aligned with "why you want an MBA at this point in your life"? As long as you can answer this I don't see any problem.

My understanding from attending the ISB Info session is-
#1 Someone with 9 years of experience can join PGP Pro
#2 Someone with 11 years of experience can join ISB PGP.
In both cases it boils down to few self-reflection questions

- Am I ready to take a one year break?
- Am I looking for industry &/or function change?
- Am I on the right career path and just need a weekend course to beak the ceiling?

Hope this helps, cheers :)
