Hello,

I'm planning to apply for PGP Pro. I wanted to know about the process of getting recommendations for ISB. Specifically, Should I go ahead and submit the application and emails will be sent to evaluators post my submission of the application? Or, should the evaluations be sent to ISB, and only then I can submit the final application?

I think you need to go ahead and submit the application and your recommenders will then receive the emails.

elPatron434 siddharthkapoor Can you confirm if that is the case?

ramyapathi and Nikhil, I can not say for sure because I am not aware of application process of PGP pro, but, considering the procedures of PGP application, both the components of the application, i.e. recommendation and rest of the application, could be worked upon simultaneously.
Applicant should be able to send the recommendation form to the referee by entering the contact details under the recommendation section of the application. As soon as he/she does so, the recommender should receive the recommendation form. Furthermore, I think one does not have to submit the recommendation before submitting the rest of the application. In fact, either could be submitted before the other, so recommendation can be sent days after submitting the rest of application. However, the application will not be reviewed until all the components of the application are received.

I hope my response has clarified the doubt.

Did you apply in r2?

dhrjain

3 Alumnis (2003 (super-entho and asked alot of questions), 2012 (asked alot questions in the start) & 2015 (not much from her, asked only her prepared questions, i'm assuming)). All of them were product/marketing managers.

The sequence of questions wasn't that surprising.
- They started with asking about a project I'm most proud of and one project that was a failure. I had this prepared so went well.
- Then they followup with leadership and learning related questions on projects mentioned explained earlier.
- They dug further into my leadership style through behavioral questions.
- Then they moved on to more behavioral questions about project management/event management/ my industry/ how covid has impacted it.
- Then the why MBA, Goals and what am i looking to get out of ISB.
- After this they were mainly digging into why I want to move industries/roles. They thought the role and industry/role I'm in is quite exciting and hand-on but my goals are more strategy/backend/thinking work.
- At the end they asked me if I had any questions.

The interview went on for 35 mins. The 2003 and 2012 Alumni were the ones asking most of the questions after the prepared questions were done. They had definitely decided amongst themselves as to who will ask what, barring the followups.

Interview was super conversational and wasn't as stressful as I had built up in my head. Till the time your story from now, to MBA, to goals is making sense you should be able to handle the interview.

For me I think it went well. I has answers to all their questions and they were asking quite a few followups, which I think is generally good. That said, the panel was putting quite a poker face and I didn't get a clear sentiment from them.

Fingers crossed

Hello forum,

I got done with my interview on Saturday. But I think I messed up big time.

When they asked me what I do other than working at my current org, I only mentioned that I instruct karate and I play badminton with my friends on weekends. I think what they essentially meant was my hobbies written in the application.

I wrote painting, playing strategy board games and playing various sports ofc. But I've only mentioned that I play badminton with my friends every week.

Will it really affect my admission? Because recently due to hectic schedule I stopped painting

Did all the Round 2 admitted applicants get their admission offers via email on 12th Mar?
What I want to know is whether they released all the offers in one go, or they have been rolling these out daily in batches?
Also, is there any update on Round 2 rejections and waitlist?

This helps.
Because some of the posts mentioned that all the R1/R2 accepted results were declared by 13th March and only rejects will be declared on 10th April.

[quote="nitinjoshinj7"]It seems r2 is still under way, and final result for the rest will be out on 10th April.

Thanks Nitin.

What I can understand is, the next round of decisions will depend on the offer acceptances of the first round offers. I want to know whether they have already released all the first-hand results in one go, or they are releasing them in batches.

Is there anyone who received an offer on 13th/14th/15th Mar?
