No mention of your undergrad college, no mention of your GMAT score, no mention of your post MBA goals, no mention of any extracurriculars.

These things are important Anurag bhai:).

685+ should be your target.

Good luck!

.
"Sales & Operation" is a rather unique combination, since "Sales" in b-schools is a function of "Marketing" domain, quite distinct from the "Operations" domain.

Anyway, all this discussion can wait for now. Please focus on getting a very good GMAT score.

Hi Everyone, Could someone tell me, what all documents are required to be submitted related to your work experience while applying to ISB? Do we have to upload the relieving letter? I was working with 2 startup sister companies and i just exited after giving 3 months notice instead of officially 1 month, but they still think I betrayed them or something and are acting funny. Just wanted to know what all needs to be submitted and what is ISB’s verification process? Do they send mails or something for verification from your employer? If yes, then to all the employers or just the last one? Same for relieving letters. Do we submit for all the companies worked or only for the last one. If someone could please answer in detail, it would be great. Thanks.

If you’ve breached a contract with a legitimate organization, it will show up in the background search.

I’ve told this to a lot of people who are committing felonies that it’s harder to get in the business schools but it’s not very difficult to get you rejected

Be mindful of every legal agreement and try to get them to give you some waiver.

Nope No Contract broken. Contract had 1 month notice, gave them 3 months notice. But it’s a startup and does not have many processes. So wanted to know what is the background verification process.

Hi please help in evaluating my profile (Indian male engineer 😭)

GMAT FE: 675

Work-ex: 6+ years as a software developer,
2 years with a tech services consulting and 4+ years in a retail ecomm product. Main reason for pgp/mba is domain change and more leadership opportunities.

Academics:
10th: 10 CGPA
12th: 82.8%
Btech: 8.08 from IEM, Kolkata (Tier 3 college but qualified via WBJEE, probably not relevant)
No gaps in academics

Should I take another attempt at the gmat or should I put all my focus now on the application?
Would love to hear some feedback on the profile as well, thanks!
Do you have any differentiators in your profile?

Having seen the bloodbath in December last year where I provided free ding analysis to the members of this chat, it’s very likely that a work ex + no differentiator + CS profile + avg GMAT (for ISB) might have a hard time in the application

If GMAT is the only thing you can improve, you can do so. But I can honestly tell you that I’ve analysed a 745 reject and he had nothing wrong with his profile

So sometimes it’s just the market forces, can’t help it
