Do we need to carry our certificates and mark sheets? I know that in the required documents section only passport is mentioned.
Nevertheless, is anyone carrying these documents?

Passport should be enough.
I do not recollect them asking for any marksheets or certificates on the interview day.
Do note the application number on the form that was submitted on the ISB Portal

Interesting. IIM-A's PGPX costs about 25 lacs (cost of Int'l immersion is extra). I wonder where does PGPX stand in comparison with ISB's PGP. Would it be unfair to compare these two programs?

Imvites for 2nd and 3rd nov were sent out yesterday and are complete. However, they will still be rolling out invites next week also for more interviews after 3rd. Interviews are supposed to happen till 2nd week of November. I got this info from adcom itself. I had called them.

Hi tush1992 and LeoN88,

There are 2 things I would like to know -

(1) I would like to know how are the placements like across different industries from ISB? I want to go into Consulting field after pursuing MBA. How good is ISB for that profile and what are the future prospects?

(2) How to write the essays? Is there a prescribed structure? Is it possible for you to share some essays from past years of students who converted the call? It would be really helpful to know the framework and would help in going forward with the application.

Many thanks.
Hello shobhitkh, welcome to the GMAT Club. My suggestion to you is to research these at your end. GMAT Club itself is a great community where you can find answers to all your queries.

Answer to question#1
tush1992 is the best person to answer this, I recommend you post your profile here for evaluation and seek help from an admission consultant. Also, you can go through the placement brochure available on the ISB website to get an idea, frankly speaking the school has been consistently placing a large number of candidates into consulting every year.


Answer to question#2
Check out this thread and the last post, I've hyperlinked it to the first post. Similarly, ankurgupta03 Sir has also collated hand picked articles/posts that'll give you a lot of insights, click here. Both these posts are hyperlinked into the 1st post of this thread, kindly spend some time on this.

Additionally, I've taken up a personal project to collate all essay analysis into one post, it's a work in progress, click here; you'll get sample essays.
Cheers. :cool:

Hi LeoN88,

Can you please provide the link for sample essays for ISB? Apologies, I am not able to find it on the link provided in the above post.

Thanks.

There's no minimum score requirement but a competitive score would be 700+. It all depends on the strength of your profile
