Calling all ISB PGP Applicants - (2023 Intake) Class of 2024

Relax folks, enjoy the process. B-school apps are a nice way to self-reflect. Also, in case you don’t feel you’re ready- essays not upto the mark, GMAT can be improved, etc. then move to R2. First principle is to get the best application out there- then R1 vs R2 comes in.

Regarding scholarships, is it gross or net family income?

all the best!! Dont stress. Ho jayega ho jayega

i toh have put gross.

Should be gross I believe as annual returns are needed to be attached as proof of income. My guess. Check with ISB and enlighten others

Even I'm not done with my GMAT, I was supposed to give it on 21st August but my centre cancelled the appointment 36 hours prior and now I have booked it for 24th August. This time I took no risk with centre and booked it at an official Pearson centre.
btw its my second attempt, I have scored 690 earlier.

While filling the address in recommender section for online recommendations, do we fill the recommender’s personal address or the their work address?

In the Document Upload section, what do I upload for ’Proof of Income for Self’? Payslip?

what to write in the essay for merit cum need based scholarship essay?

also, for expired parents(both) do we need to upload any income proof?

please guide

Even I’m not done with my GMAT yet. Any last min tips guys?

With the deadline for ISB approaching, feel free to reach out for a detailed profile evaluation, help with essays and mock interviews. Just fill out the form here: forms.gle/MRGybZKgk6a9yPyC9.

All the best!

Hi,

Will a gap at the time of application be viewed in a negative light, as in if the candidate is not working with any organisation at that time, can anyone advise on this?

Hi, can someone review my profile? - I’m a female engineer (computer science) and an IT professional with 4+ years of workex in cloud, devops and data analytics in a well established company (not so renowned in India). I have been a part of 2 committees in my current company, one of them is to imbibe diversity, equity and inclusion. I did my btech from a decent college with a CGPA of 9.09 and I completed my schooling from a very good school with 92.4 percent marks in 12th and 93 percent marks in 10th. Apart from this I have decent extracurriculars too. I own a YouTube music channel (don’t have many followers though) and I own a small business (which is in very initial phase but is profit making). How much do I need to score in GMAT with this profile to strengthen my chances of getting a call from ISB

GMAT is very relative. ISB’s avg this year is 720. For your profile, I’ll suggest 700+ to have a very good chance of conversion.

Hey All,

Can someone tell me how long does it take to craft the application for ISB? I would need to schedule my GMAT accordingly, planning to apply in R2.

It depends how much time nd effort you are putting in...for me GMAT alone took 3 months

Only after the score I started app and school research

Is there any difference between R1 and R2 in terms of acceptance ratio or chances of conversion?
