My interview was pretty straight forward

1)Walk us through your cv
2)Why MBA, why now and why isb (10 mins )
3)How will you contribute
4)Asked me to elaborate on the initiative I led for an ngo
5) A hobby
6)Any questions for us

My interview lasted for 40 mins, of which 10-12 mins them answering the question I asked them

Posted from my mobile device

Thank you for sharing your interview experience. Curious how you answered How you will contribute question.

Great to see that people are posting their interviews debriefs. Just a small request to all those who are sharing their interview experiences in this thread: Do forget's to add your debrief in "Interview Debriefs" section as well where it is easy to trace than a debrief posted in discussion thread. Thank you!

I searched online for selection ratio at ISB. But, I could find old data(8:5:1). Any idea about the current selection ratio.

As per Aditya, adcom, the final ratio is 1:8.

I remembered a funny incident.

So, I and a few other people in the waiting room did ask him about the ratio post-interview call. That was the time he became a robot and just said "1:8 is the final ratio". We all, including him, burst out laughing at that time! hahaha

Apparently, they aren't allowed to reveal the ratios :)

1:8 would mean that they call approximately 7200 applicants for interview. I am no data expert as of today, but this seems a bit off.

There were approx 320 interviews in Delhi evenly spread across three days. I found out from the attendance sheet during my long wait at the interview. If others can find out the same from their city , we can have a pretty good estimate at the ratio.

Hey 1:8 is the final selection ratio. Around 4k might be called for interview.
