Thank you for suggestion. Is it advisable to apply for ISB with 2 year work ex only ? Or should I wait more?

Posted from my mobile device

That depends on where you are in terms of your current accomplishments and need for an MBA. Around 32% of ISB's current class (Class of 2019) has less than 3 years of experience, so clearly, many people at that experience level apply and are accepted. Can only comment on your specific case after looking at various parameters of your profile more deeply. Please feel free to post those.

Also, please note that for CAs, articleship is not included in work experience, so only full-time, post-articleship experience will be considered.

ISB or any other business schools doesn't have separate GMAT scores for separate professions. It all depends on how strong your application is and how strong you present yourself.

What is average gmat required for chartered accountant. Have anyone applied and got admitted in ISB with CA ?

Posted from my mobile device

Hi Laksh128,

Thanks for writing in.

ISB evaluates profiles in a holistic manner and there is no "required score" as such. A lot will depend on your overall profile, your essays, and your career goals (how logical they appear).

Nonetheless, you must look for a score upwards of 700 in order to stand a good chance at receiving an interview call.

Yes, you may apply with even two years of experience. Again, a lot depends on how well you project your need for MBA and your fitment with the school.

Good luck!
