Not sure about ebooks, but the hardcopy DI book has a "code" in it that gives you access to an online questionnaire database in all question-types in DI.

How to access that?
Hi, every book has a different code. So, if you buy a hardcopy of Official DI Guide, the code will be inside that book.

Hello Everyone. Hope you’re doing well and the preparations are going good. It would be great if someone could rate my profile and provide some recommendations:

10th - 93.09% (SSC)
12th - 78.15% (HSC)
BE Mechanical (Mumbai University) - 8.24 GPA
-Member of Creative Team
-Winner of state badminton championship in 2014. Winner of University badminton tournament and represented the university at inter-state university championship in 2017 and 2018 as the team captain

From 2018 to 2021 - Worked with Godrej and Boyce as Assistant Manager - Purchase in their import procurement department

From 2021 to 2023: PG (MBA in operations management) - 2.55 GPA
- Was a student placement coordinator
- Campus winner of Asian Paints Chain Reaction’22 (supply chain) and represented the institute at the national finals

From 2023 - till date: Working with Ernst and Young as a management consultant.
- Started as a consultant and promoted to senior consultant in 2024
- Received an award within first 6 months of joining the firm

Will take a short career break from May 2025 due to personal reasons.

Needed guidance on the following (sincerely targeting R1 of ISB) since I am a complete noob:
- Study material to be referred?Self-study or tutor-led? If tutor-led, which one to go for? Which mocks?
- When should I schedule the GMAT keeping in mind the time required for LORs/essays?

Always wanted to get into ISB but the circumstances weren’t aligned, unfortunately

Hence, had to scout for other options

ISB R1 deadline is historically in the first 15 days of September. Ideally you should have a month to prepare the application and work out your recommendations. Note, there is typically a 4-5 day grace period for the recommendations, so you can even submit the reco after the application has gone in.
Regarding your profile- it looks good. You must explain why you need a second MBA (and the reason should be better than saying that you always wanted to study at ISB. That would surely be flattering for ISB, but instead, you should link this to more substantial reasons like your need for career advancement/ why certain roles you are chasing require upgraded knowledge etc.
