Hi little out of context question regarding your thoughts on working full time remotly and doing full time MBA, does it impact your employability when you are trying to change your job

it won’t impact the employability but it will be very very difficult to manage both. At ISB, it gets difficult even managing your ELP (experiential project) with studies and all the activities around, a full-time job will be a bigger cherry on top. If you are able to pull it off, you have my utmost respect

Does the evaluator for the isb application need to submit the evaluation at one go? Or they can save their evaluation and edit in multiple sessions and submit? MananS4G, Nikhil,

It can be completed in multiple sessions.It works on Auto save Mode

Hi. I’ve been working for my family business since Feb’21. However, I’m really confused as to what to show as proof of income because it’s a small firm and I take my salary in cash. What would count as proof of income?

You can mention the switchboard number/common ID. ISB usually doesn’t reach out to the HR.[/quote]


Ok, and what should I fill in the remaining fields, like Mobile number and Designation?

Guys, any idea on the number of applications ISB receives or the conversion rate for ISB ? btw, iIn this group alone, I can see that there are 2840 members.

Hi Roshan,
Below is my take on your profile:
GMAT: Average
Academics: Average (While your undergrad college is Tier 3, High GPA shows that you developed good subject matter expertise in your related branch of studies).
Work Experience: Average. You will have to distinguish yourself from the hundreds (if not thousands) of other software engineers who will be applying for the ISB CO23 cohort. Some of the potential ways to do this would be to:
a. Demonstrate the business impact of your work in the short and long run. Ex. if you have developed a system that would help M2M connectivity / improve performance etc.
b. Showcase some of the initiatives you took as a leader – the challenges you faced in the journey – how your overcame them - and what were the outcomes of those initiatives.
c. Bring across stories that are atypical of a conventional software engineer.
Extra Curriculars: Good. It does seem from the examples you have mentioned that you have contributed beyond work. While this shows that you have multiple dimensions to your personality, it would be better to highlight what motivated you to take up these initiatives, how will you pursue them in future, and how will you leverage some of these experiences to add value to your immediate cohort in business schools.
Goals: Would be interesting to know what are your career plans post MBA, and how you believe you will be able to utilize your current and past experiences to add value to your future role.
I am an ISB alum, CO15, and have been guiding applicants for last 5+ years. Feel free to reach out to me at arijit.biswas@crackadmission.com.

I wouldn't count the number of people in the chat group as any indicator to the number of applicants. The chat group has people from previous years too. Also, from a quick google search, I see that the acceptance rate is around 20% You can also play around with the data from the ISB decision tracker https://gmatclub.com/forum/isb-204/deci ... acker.html

Hey guys,

I had a few doubts regarding the application form for ISB. We’re required to mention the CTC at which we joined the company and the current CTC.

My question is, how is CTC calculated, given that my company provides RSU’s also, which are not given initially, but vest over 4 years starting from the end of the first year.

So, in my first year, I didn’t get any stocks, and my Form 16 for the same also does not contain them. So, should I mention the amount in the form 16 for the first year as the joining CTC, or add these stocks and then fill?

Also, how will I caculate the current CTC, considering that I have some stocks still left to vest in the current FY, and don’t have the Form 16 for the same available...

Thanks

jodieFoster are you from Amazon? If yes then go to people portal and fetch your PCS document from there. It should have your "projected compensation" for the given financial year. Use that value as CTC.
