ISB - GMAT cutoff and other criteria

Question

Hi,

On ISB official site I read about no lower level GMAT cutoff. By any chance do we know lowest score they have accepted ever?
 I gave GMAT and scored only 620 (Quant - 50 and Verbal - 25), i dont want to try another attempt for GMAT so want to apply based on this score.
 I have around 11 years of working experience and currenctly working as a Manager in leading IT organization. At school and college level my greads were above average.

Kindly let me know if there is any point applying at ISB?

Also do we have any other college in India where they accept such low score? I am looking for executive MBA as cannot take gap of more than a year.

Appreciate your replies.

dont apply for isb, its not a good idea with 620 score and 11 yr experiance ....

620 is very low for ISB. Unless you have good overall profile, I dont see any point in applying. ISB likes people with international experience. Do you have that? Speak to few ISB students and take a final call. If I were you, I would take GMAT again. It is still in your control. Good luck!
