3 panelists: 2 Alums, one from Co16 and one from Co19, and one from admissions team (mute and camera off throughout)
Scheduled time: 10 AM; Actual Start time: 10.15 AM; Duration: 44 minutes
I shall try to recall as much and put down questions/topics in bullets below:
1) Interview started off with they asking me any achievement I’d like to mention upfront
2) A little discussion on my job and interests
3) Why MBA
4) A long discussion about the Industry I am targeting
5) A discussion on one of the courses I had undertaken during my undergrad
6) Questions for the panel
Overall, the interview was conversational and I think that knowing your resume in and out and being ready with any specifics, apart from the typical questions should make your interview experience comfortable.
Also, for the interview prep, I’d taken help from strategy4gmat.com . The coaching session and the mock interviews with Manan and other ISB Alums were spot on in helping me for the actual interview.

ISB YLP Interview, 25 September'21
A panel of 2 alums both were from CO'19 (1 Male and 1 Female)
The interview went on for 35 minutes and overall had a friendly yet engaging tone, nothing stressful of sorts.
Some questions I can recall:
1) Tell me about yourself
2) Current role in my Job, and my work profile
3) Since I was a YLP applicant and recently started my job, I was questioned about the trainings I had to undergo at my workplace
4) I mentioned strategy consulting in my application, therefore I was asked why I wanted to go in consulting, a few cross-questions on my justification
5) Why ISB and why now
6) Follow up on the major skills required for a strategy consultant
7) Backup plan if consulting fails
8) Some behavioural questions (Basic HR questions)
9) Positions of responsibility I held during my college
9) Conflict of interest I faced during my time I held the positions
10) Tell us something that is not written in your application
For the interview prep, I took help from Preppie, they reviewed my application thoroughly and then asked me all the questions that could be possibly asked based on my profile and application. They were quite accurate I would say, as a lot of questions that they asked me were similar to what the interviewers asked me based on my profile. The feedback they gave me after the interview was very thoughtful and it even helped me frame some of my answers better; also helped me in aligning my story with my goals more efficiently. I would recommend Preppie for anyone appearing for ISB interviews.

Three Panelist (Two from CO'2019 and one from CO'2013)
In the beginning, interviewers introduced themselves and ask me to introduce myself.
Q1) What has been the most challenging project you took care of in your second job.?
Followed by various cross-questions to check my knowledge and actual involvement.
Q2) How would you tackle those challenges differently today?
Q3) What is the one thing that you are looking out for from ISB?
Q4) What was your learning during your international experience?
Q5) What were the challenges that you faced in multiple countries you worked in?
Q6) How can businesses prepare themselves for upcoming uncertainties similar to COVID-19.
Q7) Many questions around curriculum publishers as I have an ed-tech background.
It was a conversational interview where they tried to understand the depth of knowledge I actually had. My interview lasted for an hour. Also, for my interview preparation, I took help from S4G that is run by Manan. His team has amazing mentors who are ISB alums and who took my mocks and gave me school/profile specific feedbacks that really helped in preparing for my interview.
