No portal update/email till now.
Any chance of being shortlisted for a different interview location?

Yes there is. External locations such as Bangalore have limited availability. They will still continue to call Bangalore candidates to Hyd or Mohali.

Profile:

GMAT 690

Can you guys please suggest some professional help for interview preparation that include counseling and mock interviews? I am looking for face to face or in person services in Bangalore or Hyderabad that satisfy both my requirements as a couple of good services I know don't do face to face interviews.

Any help or advice will be highly appreciated.

Thank you in advance,
Shailika

People who are done with the interview, please post the debriefs.
Many people are still waiting for their interviews, so the debriefs will be of great help!

Hi vandanasathpathy,

This happened to many in round 1 also, where people (those with high GMAT scores even) from Bangalore and Delhi were asked to go down to Hyderabad and Mohali because the slots are limited and got filled.
They made it through to getting converted into admits also.

The ISB admissions team has also confirmed this.

So dont lose hope yet.

Hey Ankur!
Thanks for the kudos.
I had a few doubts in mind. First, the interview panel will most probably not be from my field i.e. merchant marine... so what sort of preparation shall be done?
Second, is it advisable to take any professional help for mock interviews or just going through my application and generating questions from that would suffice?
Third, are guesstimate questions asked to only those who have work ex/ shown post MBA career in consulting?

Thanks! :)

My Interview Debrief:

10 Jan'15.
Hyderabad
1400 Hrs
Panel 2
3 Interviewers.

Q. Tell me about your day to day work at office.
Q. You are doing pretty well, why MBA?
Q. What are your strengths?
Q. Why don't you pursue a teaching career (I have some teaching experience. I mentioned my abilities to explain well as one of my strengths).
Q. What are your weaknesses?
Q. What are your immediate goals post MBA?
Q. Tell me a product that you like and why? (I had mentioned product management)
Q. Tell me a feature that you want to develop for this product.
Q. Convince me to get this feature developed. Calculate the potential market size.
Q. So, your are an avid reader. Tell me about your favorite book.
Q. Tell me about Mahabharata. (It was mentioned in my application)
Q. Do you have any questions that you want to ask?

An advice: try to drive your interview yourself. You can answer in a way so as to prompt them to ask what you want them to.
