Had my interview yesterday. Location: Delhi, 4:15pm; Panel: 2 alums (both co2011) + 1 ISB ELP committee director
One word essay was on 'Reward'. Interview was brief (20-25 mins max). No grilling or cross questioning. Panel found my profile interesting. Questions were as follows:
1) Why do you want to leave your business (even though its a profitable venture with annual sales of Rs.1.5 crore) and Why come to ISB?
2) How did you get into this business?
3) Take us through your professional journey so far
4) Take your own business as a case study. What will you do to improve the margins? What are the problems involved?
5) How did you get into quizzing (had mentioned it as my hobby)?
6) Do you know what consulting companies look for while hiring candidates? (had mentioned consulting as post-MBA goal)
7) How do you think your entrepreneurship experience will help you in your consulting career?
No guesstimations at all. No questions on my EY experience.
Nevertheless, I have a bad feeling about the entire experience.

Final Decision:
Interviewed
Status:
Off Campus with Alumni

I got an Interview call on 30th Jan, 2016 and it was an Off-campus Interview in Delhi. There were 2 alumni ( supposedly from the same background as mine since they asked me few technical questions on my experience )
The questions were:
1. Are you a Trained Dancer? Why don't you pursue that?
I was not but since I mentioned that I teach in a dance studio, they probably presumed that.
2. What's the name of the dance studio you work at?
3. They scanned my application hard-copy and were really prepared to grill me on some results achieved. How did you achieve those results?
4. How and why did you shift into this different domain? I don't think technical people are able to do that?
5. How would you achieve the Post-Mba goal you have written? What would you do at ISB?
6. Why did you shift back to technical work? I think they were really skeptical of my work experience.
7. Why ISB? Why MBA now?
8. Questions for us?
I asked 2 questions. They responded perfectly clearing my concerns.
Overall it was a nice experience though I was sure they were not fully convinced of my work profile.
