So, a few things you should know/be ready for as you head into the ISB interview season. This is based on the past couple of years ka trend. Things could change this year,

1. In-person city-wise schedule will be shared either by ISB or via alums at various places based on the dates they get to volunteer. This list might not be exhaustive as other slots are added later. Whether you have your interview online or offline, it doesn’t matter
2. Isb hasn’t been the best school in terms of communications so brace yourselves for delays and misinformation
3. *You are in the process till you get the rejection mail. Don’t count yourself out till then and more importantly, don’t increase your anxiety and of others*
4. Interview shortlists can come either 3-6 days prior to the interview or even 15 days prior and based on the city list you can assume that your interview *can* happen on those dates or at later online/offline slots for that city
5. The interviews could start at the end of this month or from the first weekend of October
6. Hence, it’s important to start preparing NOW. If you’re working with a consultant/plan to work with one, make sure 1-2 sessions of interview are left 3-5 days before the d-day. Other sessions you can start with now
6. Remember, there’s nothing else in your hands apart from your prep so focus *only on that*. Be the leaders that you’re claiming you are in your applications 😃

All the best!

Shortlisted candidates for Round 2 are likely to receive their interview invitations by the 3rd or 4th week of December.

Hello Consultants,
Please evaluate my MBA applicant profile.

10th: 93.6%

12th: I haven’t studied 12th. Instead I have a 3 year Diploma in Mechanical Engineering with 93%

Undergrad: 3 year BE in Automotive Engineering. Lateral entry in 2nd year of engineering. 8.5 CGPA with Distinction & University 2nd Rank holder

Postgrad: 8.8 CGPA. ME in Automotive Engg. Had done a 9 months project internship at DRDO’s R&D Division. This was part of my Master’s Thesis

Work Experience: Total 8 years as of now. Working in 4th Company.

For first 3 years, I had worked in Indian Tier 1 engine component supplier as Product Development & Application engineer. After that till now, working as core R&D simulation engineer for electric & hybrid vehicle components. Also my previous tenure was with a leading e2wheeler startup.

Key highlights of my work ex:

Worked in multitudes of Engineering - Product Development, Manufacturing, Core R&D

Developed a work related course and trained more than 50 peers globally as multiple two full day classroom trainings

Enhanced efficiency of a analysis process which brought down 80% of time taken and resulted in a savings of 1M euro in global sites and shorter new product development lead times

Implemented multiple methods to improve correlation on simulations and design calculations, which eliminated multiple design iteration cycles and extensive testing. This resulted in a new electric 2wheeler in 6 months.

Developed scripts and macros for process automation and improved efficiency by 150%

Currently working as a Lead Engineer in a newly incubated Technical Center of a Global Tier 1 supplier which specializes in Autonomous vehicle capabilities, supporting Global sites in electronic hardware development. Also, having roles & responsibilities in developing the site as a Global Technical Center, which will include identifying and building new capabilities of team, standardizing work flows, recruiting new talent, planning training, exploring applications of Machine Learning & Digital twin in Product development.

Roles in Focus: With my experience in product development and R&D, after MBA, Product Manager, Manufacturing & Operations Management in Automotive & Energy Sector. Also, interested in Consultant roles for Auto & EV sector.

No Extra Curricular Activities worth mentioning in a MBA application.

Planning to apply in R2 of ISB and R3 of IIMs’ Ex-MBA. Scheduled GMAT FE exam on October. Scoring 675-695 in mocks. Targeting to score more than 695.

Expecting your comments on weak areas in my profile, areas which needs more spotlight and any tips for improvement. And I feel that the way I present my profile is too technical and how to transform my profile suitable for management.
Your diverse experience is a definite strength but it needs to be well articulated and connected logically to your post MBA goals. The current roles mentioned are a bit too generic at the moment. Would also be good to highlight more leadership and stakeholder management skills. While you have mentioned no extra curricular, would urge you to figure out some activities done at your firm beyond your core project work that has the potential to be developed as a pseudo extra curricular activity. If you’re able to convert 695+ in GMAT, that will give a massive boost to your profile. Feel free to reach out to us at Preppie (https://www.preppie.in) for a more detailed conversation

Extra-curricular
• Part of the student government as a CR and Treasury secretary. Revamped the equipment and instruments for all student clubs by organizing the first-ever university-vide procurement drive. Increased the budget outlay from 15,000 to 10.5 lakhs after multiple rounds of negotiations with university top brass.
• Marketing head of the college automotive team. Competed at a national level electric-ATV competition. Part of the manufacturing team too, worked at the shop floor to build the ATV.

• Would like to venture into Technology Consulting. I believe an MBA would equip me with the right skills.

Academics are strong and work ex domain and tenure is also decent. Would be good to know your firm as well for better evaluation. GMAT is a critical component which is an unknown at the moment. Extra-curriculars look good. You’ll have to think more about the "Why" of Technology consulting post MBA and link it to your current work ex.
