Your academic record is solid, especially with the SRCC tag. A 700 on GMAT is mediocre at best for a top B school, but it would be helpful to know the breakdown into Quantitative and Verbal sections to judge potential.

Regarding work experience, there is significant scope for reflection on your growth trajectory in the startup. Unpack your experiences and construct your stories in a way that demonstrates how working on a variety of projects has provided you with more hands-on experience or given you the opportunity to collaborate with leadership and take the lead at all levels of hierarchy, resulting in experiential maturity and the ability to contextualize business problems within your industry.

Thoroughly research your goals and present your research in both the application and the interviews. FMCG Brand management goals can be a bit nuanced as far as one-year programs go, however do your research and substantiate your arguments. Showcase a well-defined vision for your MBA goals that goes beyond seeking a mere next promotion.

Get meaningful advice tailored to your specific situation. Do not hesitate to reach out should you need help navigating your unique circumstances in the B School admissions process. We do not cap discussion hours for our applicants

Hello dd00,

I hope you are doing well. You have a strong academic background, impressive GMAT score, and valuable work experience in the field of digital marketing, including leadership and CSR involvement. These are all positive aspects that can enhance your profile for the ISB PGP program. Your high scores in 10th, 12th, and a good CGPA from a reputed institution like Shri Ram College of Commerce demonstrate your strong academic abilities. While 700 is a solid GMAT score, it's important to note that ISB's average GMAT score for admitted students is typically higher. However, your overall profile can compensate for this to some extent.

Three years of experience in digital marketing with promotions and currently leading a team of 4 members is a significant achievement. Your involvement in the CSR initiative shows your commitment and leadership skills. While your digital marketing experience is valuable, showcasing a variety of experiences or skills, such as international exposure, cross-functional teamwork, or unique projects, can make your application stand out even more.

Your career goals of becoming a Brand Manager in ecommerce/FMCG companies or an Account Manager in top tech firms align well with ISB's program and can demonstrate your focus and ambition. Mention any extracurricular activities or hobbies that demonstrate your leadership, teamwork, or passion for certain causes. These can add depth to your profile. Make sure your essays and recommendations are well-crafted and provide a compelling narrative about your journey, goals, and why ISB is the right fit for you.

Overall, your profile is strong, but with the competitive nature of ISB admissions, it's essential to make every aspect of your application shine. A higher GMAT score and careful crafting of your application materials can increase your chances of receiving an interview call.

Good luck with your application!

We offer a limited number of complimentary profile evaluations each week . We match you with the students and alums of top B-Schools according to your background and target schools. In this call, the experts will try to dig out your USP for top B-schools and provide you with honest feedback on your profile and chances to your target schools.

How many days before Round 2 deadline, which is Dec 3, will ISB release the results of Round 1? Also, do they publish the interview dates for a particular city on their website?

They have started sending verification confirmation. If your application is verified you just need to wait till you get confirmation regarding the interview. Typically it will be sent 5 days prior.
