Hi everyone,

Do you happen to know if ISB considers 10th and 12th marks for the evaluating applicants?

Hi,

As of now the R2 deadline is 8 December 2024. You can only keep a watch on their website to know if there is a change, however it doesn't change so often. It mentioned 10 December earlier, but got preponed to 8th.

All the best!

Hi,
I have a few questions regarding ISB placements:
1. Are we required to disclose our undergraduate qualifications GPA during the placement process? Additionally, how significant is the ISB GPA when shortlisting candidates for non-consulting companies?
2. In what ways does the placement process for senior executives differ from that for other candidates?
Show more
Since most of the students do mention their undergraduate GPA in the resume, not mentioning it might keep you at a relative disadvantage for certain companies. However, if you have 10+ yrs of experience, then it might not impact your chances as much as you’ll mostly be competing with the highly tenured cohort for a specific set of jobs. GPA is not as important for non-consulting jobs but it should still be kept at a decent level (3.3+) at least till 4th Term. Placement process for senior execs isn’t formally different but there are a bunch of senior leadership roles that are offered specifically for that cohort

2. In what ways does the placement process for senior executives differ from that for other candidates?

1. It is not necessary to show your Undergrad GPA during the placement process, but in the format, you are encouraged to write whatever you have done in those 3/4/5 years, be it a POR, any leadership that you have shown. Showing GPA, particularly when it is very high (relatively), might be a good idea.
For ISB GPA, there are companies that will ask for your GPA and companies that won’t, and on the portal, you can choose to either show your GPA or hide it with a click of a button. For companies not asking for a GPA, do not show it unless it is your strength.

2. Senior executives’ placements differ from other candidates as a few companies have a cap, sometimes 5 years, sometimes 6 years, or 8 years of work experience, and hence you won’t be able to apply for such roles. A few companies also have an internal cap that they won’t mention explicitly on the portal but usually prefer younger candidates.
But, ISB has started a lateral hiring program for those with over 6 years of experience, which is definitely an advantage. There are also companies that come with a minimum work experience requirement, where I feel SEC members have an advantage.

Yes, generally ISB gives a minimum of 5 days notice to the candidates, before the interview dheeraj.khatri.

A good way to prepare would be to go through your submitted application and think through the various cross questioning that can come up during the interview, in areas such as your job roles, career profile, career choices, roles & responsibilities, accomplishments, career goals, and relevance of ISB.

Yes, 8th December is the R2 deadline WarasSingh.

Not sure what you mean by "also extend"; ISB generally does not extend application deadlines (except if there are technical issues with its website).

In my view, interviews will not happen before October 5.

So, October is when the interview calls notifications will start rolling out arihantbengani16.

Hey

Requesting a Profile Evaluation -

A bit about me:

- 7+ years in strategy and operations, with the last 5 years at high-growth startups in edtech and wellness tech. (6 years post college, 1 year in college)
- Led teams through both 0→1 and 1→100 phases, from building MVPs to scaling operations for 50,000+ users annually
- Founded an event company at 23, ran large scale events, securing partnerships and generating INR 50 Lakhs in revenue
- Founded a creative venture in college
- Dy. Head Girl in School
- Ran couple of large scale relief campaigns during Chennai Floods and Covid
- B.Arch in education, moved to non profit and then startups. Haven't practised architecture.

Post MBA, I'm looking to move into consulting or VC/PE. Long term goal is entrepreneurship.

GMAT - Not taken yet, in the process.

Also, thinking of taking a career break because of some major issues at work and focusing on GMAT prep. Might do some part time consulting at startups during this time. Not sure how it’ll be perceived.

For a holistic evaluation, it would be helpful to get more clarity about your academic scores, college name and organization names. Also, let us know the trajectory in terms of promotions within an org. Given your strategy & ops experience in startups, consulting seems like a fair game post MBA. PE/VC might be tough to get into directly after MBA. You can leverage consulting experience to make that transition after a couple of years. Also, when are you planning to take GMAT and which round are you targeting for application?
