This achievement puts it in the same league as schools like INSEAD and LBS. For candidates considering IESE, it’s also worth evaluating peer schools such as LBS, HEC Paris, INSEAD, and IMD. IESE is a choice for globally minded, impact-driven professionals seeking top-tier leadership training in a multicultural environment. While the competition is tough for Indian applicants, the program is certainly within reach for those who combine strong academic and professional credentials with a compelling, socially driven narrative. With the right strategy and school alignment, IESE can be both a career catalyst and a personal transformation experience. To be specific about "how is the school's experience",

An ideal candidate from India shall typically have a GMAT score around the 645 to 665+ range, 5-6 years of professional experience, and demonstrated leadership either in professional or extracurricular domains.
