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

Seems like SUperb Profile. Good Acads. Govt Official, Clarity of Goal. & good in Extra Curricular ALso. Seems like a Stand out profile + Higher than Avg GMAT Score

Great academic pedigree and beyond the classroom initiatives (especially setting up the college chapter for Leaders for Tomorrow - shows a blend of leadership and volunteering experience). Work ex is also unique, I feel you may need to give a strong reason for why ISB, given the work ex and you may be probed on this too in the interview. Overall, strong chances for an interview call for sure if this is accompanied with a good gmat score (720ish) and story.

Thank you sir!!, I m planning to apply in round 3, after giving Gmat on 12th jan

Lovely. All the best! Just one more thing - It’s one thing to have a good story and narrative, it’s another thing altogether to do justice to it in your essays. Please keep that in mind as well. Essays are equally important. Spare time for them too along with your GMAT Prep.

Dear Saghan96,
Here is an evaluation of your candidature.
GMAT: While anything above 710 will be competitive, as the saying goes the more the merrier.
Academics: Having a rank holder position in undergrad gives you brownie points. What tier does your engineering institute fall in?
Work Experience: While working for a PSU, demonstrates that you understand how things work at scale and have strong people management skills to get things done, you will have showcase transferrable skillsets that you intend from your career thus far into the corporate world. It will also be interesting to understand how you have progressed in your career ladder so far and the tangible impact you have been able to make in the journey.
Extra-Curriculars: It seems that you were heavily involved in community focused activities during your college days. However, its been 5+ years since then. It will be interesting to know whether you have persisted with similar endeavors in the recent past as well. If yes, what was the nature of association and more importantly, what was the impact you were able to create.
Goal: Transitioning into Corporate is an *abstract* statement since 99% of roles that are offered at ISB during placements are with corporates in some form or the other. You will have to zero down on what sort of roles and which sort of companies you want to target, and how will your experience in the past coupled with the learning from ISB help you get there. Typical career trajectory of the applicants I have worked with who came with a public sector pre-MBA experience, has been either Consulting, or, operations / supply chain focused roles in bigger firms as well as growth stage startups. Your goals should be realistic and feasible.
I am an ISB alum, CO15, and have guided 500+ applicants get into global business schools over the last 6+ years. Please feel free to get in touch with me if you seek professional guidance.

Thank you sir!! I ll keep that in mind while filling the application form and writing the essays.


Thank you sir!!

Interview dates for r2

Has anyone received interview invites for R2 yet?

Posted from my mobile device

When will they roll out calls ?

Richa said that the interviews will start from 24 Dec which means the invites should go out between today and tomorrow given ISB sends invites atleast 5 days in advance. Also I remember her saying invites will be rolled out mostly on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Are the invites for all sent at once irrespective of date of interview

?

No, it will be on rolling basis. Depending on the slot you are scheduled you will receive the mails
