I am planning to give GMAT/CAT in 2026. What score/percentile should I target for ISB?
Overall read: This is a solid early-career profile for ISB, especially with brand-name exposure (ITC) and clear progression.
What works well:
Strong academics throughout (90%+ in 10th/12th, decent UG CGPA).
Multiple internships + PPO at ITC Foods — signals credibility and employability.
Early impact-driven work (cost savings projects) — important to quantify well.
Consistent volunteering over 3 years shows depth, not checkbox activity.
Formula Student leadership + sports give good teamwork and leadership angles.
Key focus areas:
As a fresh/early professional, ISB will lean heavily on GMAT/CAT + leadership potential.
You’ll need to clearly show initiative and ownership, not just execution, in internships and trainee role.
Score guidance (important):
GMAT Focus: Target 665–675+ for a realistic shot.
CAT: Aim for 99+ percentile (preferably 99.3+ given profile mix).
Verdict:
This is a competitive ISB profile if you hit the right test score and frame your ITC + leadership stories impactfully. Test performance will be the biggest lever.
