In ISB,
Is GRE/GMAT seen in the same light during the admission process?

Or is one exam preferred over the other unofficially during waitlist movement or converts?
You might find this article useful: GRE or GMAT for ISB
Quote:


And what is the cut off trend for GRE and GMAT?
Around 328/675 is the median for GRE/GMAT. There is no cut off. In R3, one of our candidates got an interview call with a GRE score of 309!

Here is how I would think about your questions.

1. Overall profile
Your academics (9/9/8) and the mix of marketing, photography, sports, and NGO work show good range for a final-year UG applicant. For PGP-YL, the admissions team typically looks for intellectual ability, initiative during college, and some evidence of leadership or impact. Your club role, festival contribution, and cricket at a competitive level are useful signals.


2. Internship without a website
This is not a problem. Many early-stage agencies or startups don’t have websites yet. In the application you can simply:


  • Mention the company name
  • Briefly describe what the firm does in the role description
  • Provide the supervisor’s name or LinkedIn if needed
[*]

Admissions teams evaluate the substance of the work, not the website link.

3. What counts as “awards or achievements”
Prioritize achievements that show recognition or selectivity. For example:
Strong examples from your profile
• Best Photographer of the College (2024)
• Cricket at the highest division league in Hyderabad
• AIR-16 in SIMO (even if early school, it is a national ranking)
• Significant role in college festival or club leadership


Moderate examples
• Certificates from competitions
• NGO recognition or project outcomes

Lower priority
• Routine participation certificates or very small school-level prizes unless they show a clear distinction.


If the form allows multiple uploads, you can include a few school achievements like essay writing wins, but keep the focus on college-level or state/national recognition.

One small suggestion: In the application essays, connect your experiences (marketing, photography, sports teamwork, NGO work) to how you think and learn. That narrative matters more than the number of certificates.

All the best for all your future endeavors.

Extremely sorry for the long query
PGP applicants are more than welcome to answer.

Hey guys, I’m thinking of applying to PGP-YL
It would be very kind of you to review my profile and have few doubts wrt the application
Gmat is scheduled next week
Zero workex (still in UG final year BTech)
9/9/8 profile
Did an internship as brand strategist for an agency(certificate given)
Recently joined an AI startup under marketing role
Worked as a cinematographer for my state government as freelance

Extracurricular:
Represented highest divison oneday league(cricket) in Hyderabad (have a team sheet as proof)
Got AIR-16 in SIMO english olympiad in 4th grade

During UG:
-Club Advisor for the photography club
-Got a student veteran certificate for being a significant contributor to the college festival for two straight years
-Member of the college’s social media committee
-Got best photographer of the college certificate for the year 2024
-Have a live project based on stock market predictions
-Trying to publish a reasearch paper

Also been part of an NGO for the 2nd year now.
One of my faculty is giving me the LOR

Also, the internship I did does not have a website yet, so what should I do in the website section in the experience page and how much of an issue is it?

My doubt is, what awards or achievements should be uploaded, as in, how significant should they be?
Can it be something as simple as essay writing winner in school etc..?

Seems like it. But considering it will be a small cohort of people who get the interview calls now, I think there is a chance that they start rolling out some results by this week?
In the last few years, they have given R3 results with almost 1 month to spare for joining.
