Hi,
I am a student from Commerce background with the commerce bachelors degree in my kitty. I am a Company Secretary with 2.5 years of work experience in a mid-size CA firm. I have insight into Company legal and tax compliances. I have a decent score in 10th, 12th grades and a decent GPA in my bachelor's degree.
I write poetries on various social media websites and I am an aspiring spoken word poet.
I also have some experience as a volunteer with an NGO.
Are my credentials enough to get me a call from ISB, if my GMAT score is above 700?@

Hi niyetisinghvi, an issue that you will definitely face when drafting your essay-2 in ISB Application, is to reconcile the varied experiences that you've had in your past 4 years.
Majority of your experience is in testing and automation space, while over the past 1 year, you are working in a completely different setup of electrical engineering and entrepreneurship. This needs to be thought through as to how how you would explain the apparent unrelated transition from information technology to electrical domain, especially because nothing in your education background or prior experience suggests this.
You have to convince the admissions committee that this transition is not as random and as arbitrary, as it seems. Perhaps you need to take a call that you realized that entrepreneurship was the best way forward for you and the fact that your dad was already in this business, acted as an enabler for you to take the step.
If portrayed well, Entrepreneurship would actually work in your favor, since any b-school does value entrepreneurship experience.
Needless to say you are taking the right step by re-appearing in GMAT. See if you can push your current score by at least 20-30 points.

Hi Team,
regarding extra curricular activities : I have carried on the activities in college in Cognizant also.
1) Have won a dance competition organized by cognizant at kolkata level
2) Have been a part of the cognizant's Dance group in kolkata and had the opportunity to lead the same as well in an event.
3) Have won several awards in Table tennis and cricket in Cognizant, in both team and singles event. Was man of the tournament in one of the cricket tournaments as well.
4) Have been a part of the organizing team of several events here.
5) Have started working with cognizant's outreach, a program to share knowledge and teach students who can't afford education. The outreach does much more than just teaching subjects though
