Mistake on ISB Application [#permalink] New post   15 Jan 2019, 00:53
Hello,
I have made a blunder on my ISB application form. In place of my current organisation's HR's phone number, I wrote some random phone number as I did not know the HR's phone number then and the form was not allowing to save the data without entering the number. I thought to myself that I will update the correct number before submitting the application. But, I just submitted my application and realise that I have not updated the correct number! Anything I can do now? In dire need of help!

Relax. Get in touch with ISB and ask them to correct the number. Tell them that you wanted to enter the right number which you did not have at that point, and had used what you have put in now as a placeholder. They will correct. Be patient, though - they will be getting a lot of queries around the deadline. Also, don't worry - this number is not used for evaluation/interview selection.

Just chill and send them a mail! :)

Last thing you should worry about your application is a wrong HR contact number! :)

All the best!

Hello preetisuman,

Just calling up ISB and sharing the correct number with them would be enough. Hope you were able to do that! :-)

All the best!

Hi,
I have made a blunder in my ISB application. Instead of entering 1 year 11 months as my work-ex, I've written something completely horrendous. It's 5 days past the deadline now. Are there any chances I can somehow get this rectified?
