Calling all IIM Bangalore EPGP Applicants 2024 Intake Class of 2025

Does ISB have any inclination for candidates having more than 12 years of experience ?

ISB typically prefers candidates with 2-5 years of full-time work experience. While it’s not uncommon for applicants to have 5-8 years of experience or even more. but having 12+ years of experience may be on the higher side for the regular PGP program

As per my knowledge, in the last batch i.e., PGP 2023 there were just a couple of students with 12+ years of experience, both in Mohali campus

How do they go about WAT? Is it held before the PI, after or either of them can happen depending on the time of interview? Is there a time limit given? I understand that it is to be hand written. Do the interviewers have an access to the sheet? Are the topics different for different people?

Can someone pls give an idea on the procedure?

anjanaphysio, some info regarding the WAT at the following link

Thank you

IIM ABCLI, ISB all take students with 12y+ experience. Just the proportion varies.
IIM A & C prefer slightly higher work-ex than IIM B, L & I.
IIM B has least 10y+ experienced students (majority in 5-8yrs club), while IIM L has a decent number of 10y+. IIM L also has 2-3 students with 20y+ as well. I believe IIM I too is very open to candidates with 12y+ work-ex.
ISB batch is mostly in 2-5yrs range. 8yrs+ is a very small club there, but they exist. One reason behind this distribution is the fact that ISB targets those who couldn't/didn't join 2y courses at IIMs but are not yet eligible for 1yr courses at IIMs.

I just received call from IIMB epgp R1 interview. Wondering about what proportion of the total applicants would have received the call? Any stats on that ?

All the best everyone for the interviews on Saturday and Sunday.

All the best! Can you please write your GMAT score with which you got an interview call?

GMAT is just one of the many factors. It's not the sole criterion for interview calls. GMAT is not used as a cut-off mark.

Does anyone having more than 12 years of experience got shortlisted for IIM Bangalore ?
