Dear All,
Below is a snapshot of the debriefs we received from some of the people we assisted in preparing for the ISB interviews, which happened over the weekend in Mumbai and Bangalore.
- It seemed more of a conversation that an interview
- At least one panelist was from my industry and could relate to my work easily
- They put me in futuristic situations and asked me how would I react
- They were interested in my goals. In fact, at the end of the session, I now feel that I have more clarity on my goals
- I have only 2.5 years of experience. One of the panelists asked me if I am ready for MBA.
- I was asked to explain the relevance and breakdown of a certain KPI metric I had mentioned in my application.
- They were interested in understanding about why I decided to make a certain career switch
- What are the pros and cons of working in a small company (I work in a company of 8 people)
- I discussed my Khardungla trek with one of the interviewers (apparently he had a love for trekking as well and had covered a number of peaks)
- I discussed potential endings of ‘Money Heist’ with my interviewer. I think the topic started because I had stated that one of my hobbies is to binge watch shows on Netflix.
Overall, our analysis is that like every year, ISB interviewers want to know the applicant as a person more than anything. The cultural fit to the classroom is a criterion they are evaluating candidates on.
Cheers
