What is the difference between ’verified’ and ’shortlisting in progress’?

Do share the link or your email to communicate about my application.

Thanks!

You can DM me if you need anything specifically.

I was told only the paid admission consulting partners are allowed to share the links so not sharing any publicly

Hey!!

I’ve a 650 score in GMAT classic. I’m an Indian Army veteran (served for 10 years), currently working in tech consulting with one of the Big4s for the last two years. What are my chances of getting into ISB?

It would be helpful to have more details about your role and goals for a more objective assessment. There is a certain proportion of applicants from the army background who form part of the cohort every year. Given that your GMAT score is on the lower side and if you’re applying in the last round, it impacts your chances. If you’re comfortable, utilise the next few months to improve your GMAT score and apply in R1 of next cycle in order to have a better chance

Hello,

I have my ISB PGP interview scheduled for 19th January. With around 2.7 years of experience in Data Analytics and Software Development, I aim to pivot to Product Management. If anyone with similar work experience and career goals has already appeared for the interview this year, could you please share the questions you were asked and the key focus areas?
