International MBA vs ISB MBA



Before we dive into all the thoughts that are running through your head about doing an international MBA or an ISB MBA, choose your MBA destination by asking yourself “where do I see my career going?” The goal is to find an MBA program tailor-made to your needs and goals. And we are going to help you decide exactly how you arrive at that conclusion.
The first thing that you would be thinking about is brand value. Does an Indian MBA holds as much reputation as compared to a top international MBA. Well, it depends on your ultimate intent behind pursuing an MBA and wanting to work or maybe settle down abroad. Maybe your industry, like consulting or product management does not allow you to grow without an international MBA degree on your resume..International MBA vs ISB MBA

Average GRE Scores for top MBA Programs in Business Schools



Average GRE scores for MBA programs depend on the school and the program you are interested in. Generally, a score of 325+ is considered to be good.
Till about two or three years back, GRE was widely known to be preferred by students opting for an MS degree. However, lately, there has been a steady increase in the number of students applying for MBA programs (with GRE scores). An important aspect that needs to be considered is that, unlike other tests, GRE scores for business schools are considered in sections- Verbal, Quant, and Analytical Writing. This means that schools will be looking at your scores individually. Therefore, instead of asking- what is a good GRE score? You should be asking- what is a good Quant/Verbal score..Average GRE Scores for top MBA Programs

One Year vs Two Year MBA



It is an old argument. The one year MBA can be completed faster; the two year option is more comprehensive; the two year option is the ‘original MBA’; the one year option is part of a ‘rising trend’. We hear these arguments and many more like them every day. The one year MBA vs two year MBA debate is not new, but it rages on every year. Some applicants, without considering all the facts available to them, often decide to rule out programs of one type just because they do not understand all the facts around one year and two year MBA programs. This article is meant to help clarify some of the aspects on which one year MBA programs differ from two year programs..One Year vs Two Year MBA

5 myths about ISB admissions (and what actually moves the needle)

Myth 1: “Only a 740+ gets you in.”
Reality: ISB is holistic. A great score helps, but impact, leadership, and clarity of goals separate admits from lookalikes.
Do this: Pair a strong GMAT/GRE with quantified outcomes, sharp essays, and proof you can lead.

Myth 2: “I’m an Indian male in IT/finance, so I have no chance.”
Reality: Overrepresented ≠ disqualified. Generic stories sink you, not your industry.
Do this: Show spikes that others cannot claim: ownership of a P&L, cross-functional influence, hard metrics, and people leadership.

Myth 3: “R1 is everything. R2 is a waste.”
Reality: Both rounds admit strong candidates. Submitting a complete, high-quality application in R2 beats a rushed R1.
Do this: Apply when your package is at its peak. If needed, retake the test or add a graded course before hitting submit.

Myth 4: “Without a brand-name employer or global stint, I’m out.”
Reality: Prestige helps, but consistent achievement and upward trajectory matter more.
Do this: Translate work into business results. Use numbers, stakeholder quotes, and promotions to prove momentum.

Myth 5: “ECs must be national-level trophies.”
Reality: Depth beats spectacle. Admissions value sustained contribution, initiative, and community impact.
Do this: Show you built or scaled something, mentored others, or created new value over time.

Final tip: Make your goals specific to ISB’s ecosystem. Tie your short-term role to ELPs, labs, clubs, and recruiters on campus, and show why ISB is the fastest path from what you’ve done to what you will deliver.
