Insights from the Interview experience of some of CrackAdmission’s clients who had their interviews the last weekend (18th and 19th) in Mumbai :
a. Market sizing / Guesstimate questions were asked.
b. Motivation to do an MBA from ISB was gauged through multiple questions.
c. Art of logically defending your stance was tested.
d. For those who had mentioned skills such as drawing / paining / dancing / singing – some were asked to perform in front of the panel.
e. Contingency plan / hedging strategy was asked from people who had mentioned slightly unconventional goals post MBA.
f. Justification of the decision to do an MBA from ISB in terms of ROI of investment was asked.
g. Honesty in verbal responses as well synch with what was mentioned in application form was tested.
h. Domain knowledge and subject matter expertise in current as well as future (goal) career path was tested through multiple questions.
i. Reason for switching jobs frequently was asked.
j. For those who had low score in one or more sections of GMAT (be it IR or Analytical Writing), explanation for the same was asked for.
k. For those who had worked mostly in an individual capacity, team based situations were given and response was gauged.
l. For those who had cofounded startups, quit them in less than 1000 days – reasons for shutting shop and learning from the experience was asked.
Overall, it was evident that the panel was looking for depth in knowledge and understanding and expecting a logical reasoning for every statement that was made.
