Is writing that I am someone who is low on self confidence as a weakness in the ISB application form not the right thing to do ?

I am not an expert.

My opinion is we shouldn’t write anything that deems you lesser than anyone in the application.
Writing Weakness should be about acknowledging issues and then also stating how you have been trying to overcome it.

Like if I say I am not really good at public speaking but I am working on the same by volunteering for public speaking activities

maybe you can mention how you took the good things in your stride

to overcome a weakness

these good things may be your strengths or what you have achieved. I am no expert, but I think the main things at the core are to exhibit self-awareness and self-improvement. You can just say that your weakness is still a work in progress but that you have come a long way

For such questions, it is better to write a non-weakness weakness, that makes you actually proves your worth as a corporate slave, for example if they’ve asked for 2-3 weaknesses, you could mention about how you’re so detail oriented that you miss the bigger picture and you are working towards incorporating elements that will help you, or something along the lines of When push comes to shove, I feel I bear the burden on group projects and Im such a perfectionist hurr durr and In working on this by learning to delegate better, a very lame and safe weakness can be those related to time management and how you’re learning to cope better.

You can get a range of dates from admissions team. Try to be in India during that time range.

Dear All,

Hope you’re doing well! I wanted to share something we’ve been working on at CrackAdmission that might be helpful for your MBA application journey.

We’ve developed a tool called EssayEvaluPro (https://essayevalupro.com/). It’s basically a way to get some extra eyes on your application essays. You can get feedback on things like clarity and how well your essay might resonate with admissions committees.

Note that:
- Your first essay analysis is totally free. We’re just looking for some honest feedback on how it works for you.
- If you find any glitches or have ideas on how we can make it better, just drop a note at [email protected].

No pressure to try it, but if you do, I’d love to hear what you think!

Worth a shot. Absolutely zero risks. Even if things don’t turn out in your favour, you have 1 or 2 attempts before your joining date gets pushed
