That is just tremendous :D . I did not know and never searched about it.
They are well ahead of Harvard and Stanford.

So Hi, had my skype interview today at 4pm ist. I called them up at 4 sharp and they told me to give them 10min. So as I was counting every second of those 10 min, 5 min later I suddenly received another message from them. Luckily I was staring without blinking at the open skype window. They gave me the word "forum" and told me that I'll have to speak on it for a minute and I have 5min to prepare that.
They told me to call me on the phone and connect on skype for the video. The phone gave a lot of noise during the cal lso they told me to talk over skype itself.
There were 2 gentlemen: 1 alumn, 1 from the adcom (bald guy with specs)
They started with what I was doing in Singapore. So I am pursuing a masters in analytics here which just started in this jan, and I knew this is what the major discussion will be about. They asked a lot of questions about why analytics, difference between this course and isb mba, which one would I choose and why, what will I gain from isb that I won't from this course etc etc.
The second focus was on my work experience, my roles and responsibilities, the challenges that I faced, What did I bring to my second company from my first company, what kind of roles am I looking for post mba etc etc.
Third was everything else left, what you do outside work, tell us why your recommendation says you are street smart, give us an example of how you inspired someone, what will you bring to isb, why should we take you, why shouldn't we take you, what is the one thing you would do if you could today besides joining the army and everything that they could find written on my application and recommendation.
Last was as usual, a question that I would want to ask.
Overall it was a very chilled out and relaxed conversation, but have no idea what to make of it.
All the best to the ones left. Please do comment if you want to know about something in particular.

Hey Dienekes,
I wasn't asked to write/speak on a "word". My interview began by them straight asking questions from my essays, and then on my work experience. Then there was a trick question, followed by more questions regarding interests, and what would i bring on the table. It lasted for about 20-25 minutes.

Good Luck!

Thanks for posting the Skype interview experiences folks. It seems there is no clear choice on the written assessment so better anticipate it.

oh yes, I forgot to mention, that they didn't really ask me to speak on that word. I think it's just one of their, to 'catch you off guard' thing.

Hi, I read the below in the wiki page. Can someone elaborate on the implications in ISB PGP?
///However, because ISB PGP is not recognized as MBA or Post Graduate Degree/Diploma by AICTE unlike the PGDM offered by the IIMs, authorities outside India do not recognize ISB PGP as an equivalent of MBA and hence do not consider the same as Advanced degree. As an illustration, someone who has a four years Bachelors degree and one year ISB PGP would still be considered a Bachelor's degree holder by US Citizenship and Immigration Services for US Visa and Green Card purposes.[15] ////

This year for intake 2015.....
about 4400 applicants...
about 2400 interviewees....
Intake 768
Also consider about 70-80 were selected in EEO... and more in YLP


so I'm assuming about 650 admits from R1 and R2... ratio is
admit/int = 27.1% or about 1 in 3.7
admit/applied. = 14.72% or about 1 in 6.8

Thanks for this. Do we know the total number of EEO applicants for the same year?

Thanks
I'm now trying to improve my crappy handwriting.. Hope at least they will understand whatever I write

Hello Delhi Folks, Anyone Who was interviewed by Panel 5 at Delhi on Friday, 30th?

Hey Ankur,

I've been a silent spectator on this thread so far. But I thought you deserve an applause for this effort.
Brilliant initiative. And kudos for keeping it alive.

While I was reading the R1 application/admit pages, my heart went out to you. I'm sorry you didnt make it but I'm sure greater things are in store for you.

Lastly, thank you!

Any idea what documents are required for the interview. I have an interview next weekend. I opted for Delhi but got Hyderabad, I'm travelling to Mumbai for official purpose and need to know the requirements ASAP. Yet to receive the official mail. Somebody get me out of this misery

You don't have to carry any documents to the interview. You need to scan and upload your 10th, 12th, ug marks sheet and degree certificate and any other additional degrees or professional certificates. I'd suggest, scan and keep all on cloud. That way, you can upload from anywhere. And yea, you'll need a print out of the interview invite.

Seriously ankurgupta03 you have done a commendable job maintaining the thread.

You have helped not only for ISB but for other B schools as well. Thanks for helping me out.

I really hope you have admits of your choice.
