I've been told that having an overall great profile with Good grades + Decent GMAT/GRE Score + Other qualities help the candidate with a great chance with ISB. Although social volunteering activities because of the pandemic for a lot of the applicants have been impacted. Have the AdComs changed any criteria w.r.t. volunteering experience of a candidate in the past admission process?

I'm interested in knowing about the product management roles ISB students get into? Do you think someone with 34 months of experience at the time of program commencement will be able to move into this role?

Do they have requirements that are based on educational qualification like CS/IT Engineer only or people who have software development experience?

Thanks!

sam12rawat · Answer

Hello,

1) Does a gap of 6-8 months between the previous job and college application affect an applicant's chances of admission? If yes, then how would it affect their chances and what other criteria would be looked into in such a case?
2) Which MBA specialty would you suggest someone who has worked in a creative field but would like to try their hand at entrepreneurship in another field, say FMCG?
3) Are there any profile preferences for LORs?
