Calling all ISB PGP Applicants: 2024 Intake Class of 2025

Share your profile.

maybe GPA, should have been countered by a very high score

what is MQM?

But what I heard is if our GRE/ GMAT scores are high it would help in compensating low CGPA. Isn’t this the case?

any idea how many were offered admit in R2?

Anyone still awaiting a decision from round 2?

Hi,
Are hyderabad interview invites are out for ISB R3?

Hi
Yes, I am also waiting for R2 decision.. waiting for 29th Feb as per the mail from ISB.

Is this the same case with you?

Hi guys, sharing my profile here for a suggestion:

Gmat:690 ( Standard)
Acad:
10th:93%, 12th:97.4%, B-tech: Mechanical Engineer Graduated from NIT Warangal with a CGPA of 7.82.
Experience: Currently having a 5 years experience in Automotive Sector in the Mechanical Design Profile.
Extra Curriculars: Projects in College related to Vehicle design, Event Manager for our College technical fest and Worked as a General Secretary for one of our College clubs.

Applied for ISB this year and rejected in Round-2 after interview ( Interview experience good, 3 panelists and I answered my experience related and career goal questions pretty well but failed to properly justify why ISB which I think may be the reason for my rejection).

I am looking for a suggestion whether to reapply with the same score for next year or give GMAT again.

Any suggestion is appreciated!!! Thanks.

Given the ruthlessly competitive admissions environment, I would recommend taking the GMAT (Focus Edition this time) again. Have synthesised my thoughts here if you wish to re-apply in the future - https://youtu.be/_SFy9exCNSc

Thanks!

Yes, also waiting for results (R2). Interview was on 11th feb. Email said till 29th Feb results will be out so I guess two days left max. Good luck!

R2 EEO applicant, location pref: Delhi, GMAT: 740

Received an email from ISB last night stating that due to high volume of applications, the interviews of EEO applicants this year have been postponed.

My application has been shortlisted, but the interview will take place towards the end of March 2024, and results will be out April 2024.

All of this information has been stated in the mail, sharing for reference

Disappointed to know you didn't convert. I came from the automotive sector and a mechanical design profile and made it to ISB and INSEAD a few years back. I would be happy to review your case and provide you with some feedback to start on the right foot going forward. GMAT is a first step, but that alone will not give you the edge, seeing how competitive ISB is. I also think there may be a fundamental gap in how you present yourself to a B School. For example, as an evaluator, I would likely have no interest in knowing what you did in college. I want to know what you have done in the last 5 years that has helped you become a well-rounded personality. You don't want to conform to the stereotypes - Typical Indian Male Engineer (Low social skills/ mediocre leadership capabilities), rather, you want to create opposite typecasts that help you stand out. Similar advice for the "why ISB" question - No matter how many times you skim the pages of PGP programs to take notes on the curriculum, activities, and namecalling clubs that help you move closer to your goals, nothing even comes close to preparing your own unique answer- Why "You" Want To Attend ISB, supported with first hand insights and conversations with current students and alumni.
