Is there a chance they are rejecting high end profiles n selecting ones with lower salary so that placement be easy n ROI be there
­Am pretty sure that's not the case deceptrix.

We had a candidate from SRCC in R1, earning 36 lpa with 3 years of experience.

This candidate got thru with a handsome scholarship.

Interview had went well on 3rd feb( virtual).
But was rejected.
Just thought to share the profile.
@Vickstiku, not an outcome one would expect.

After a couple of months, you might want to seek feedback from ISB. Generall the feedback is quite generic, but sometimes, it does throw light on something specific that the Adcom found lacking.

Hi...I have 4 yrs exp. in IT...
Btech CGPA: 7.79.
Class XII: 67%
Class X: 81%
planning to take Gmat this year...what should be my target score to get an interview call from ISB...can anyone suggest?
­Very insufficient information debayan1996.

Where did you graduate from?
Where are you working?
Your nature of work?

665 or above on GMAT FE would be a competitive score.

Great. But if you can think of any red flags in your profile?
I pondored on my whole profile but could not find any red flags, maybe i should seek a good admission consultant

I think the right consultant could get you places. I don’t have any good extra curricular or community service info. just another graduate engineering male (no IIT, NIT). my consultant helped me apply to ISB in 3 days. I gave my gmat on 30 Nov and submitted application on 3rd.

Also, have realised in the last 3 months, most of these so called popular consultants don’t know much stuff.
