There will always be at least one alum from your industry! But, yae agreed, profile matters.


I doubt it. I am from a marketing profile and did not get even one marketing related question. 90% of the interview was product management related(I mentioned I want to switch to PM). One of the interviewer was asking detailed product related questions, others were asking more generic ones but definitely no marketing related questions. In fact, I was not asked anything about my current and last company's experience.

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.

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.
