Hello
diganta.banerjeeIf you score an above average GMAT score (say a 720+) that should help compensate for the lower scores during graduation.
However, also keep in the mind that academic potential (measured via your past scores, GMAT and the strength of your degree/university) is just one piece of the puzzle. You will have to also focus on the following (around which we have very limited information).
1) Work Ex- Years of work ex, companies/roles work in, career progression, achievements and how you present the entire story will decide the strength of this aspect.
2) Diversity- what unique qualities or traits that you get (via work ex, life experiences or extracurricular activities) that will help you add value to the experience of your batch mates inside and outside the classroom.
3) Career goals- what are your long term and short term career goals, what is your personal motivation behind these goals, and how will ISB act as a stepping stone to help you achieve said goals. What are your target roles/companies post MBA. ISB is looking for leaders with clear and realistic vision of their career who are ready to invest a significant amount of time, effort and money in the pursuit of such goals. In your specific case, also be prepared to answer why second MBA and why now (2.5 years into your career).
A combination of the above will decide whether you will have a strong chance.

Hello All, Please provide your suggestion.
I usually was a good student during my class 10th and 12th. I scored around 85% in both class 10th and 12th from West Bengal board in 2013 and 2015 respectively. 85% score from West Bengal board in 2013 and 2015 can be considered as good marks.
As a result i got admission in a top tier college after my 12th in physics hons under Calcutta University. Frankly speaking It was going well and i ended up.my first year with 1st class. Again getting 1st class from Calcutta University can be considered as a decent marks. My dream was to do an MBA from a top tier college after graduation.
I don't know what went wrong , things didn't work properly from 2nd year. I used to do hard work. But unfortunately in 2nd year and 3 year i got very less marks. Total marks become only 45% in graduation. As a result i couldn't take take because I am not eligible. I took admission in a local MBA college. Again I saw thing is working correctly and i got placed with a decent package. I am proud to say that i got placed at my first interview only. I ended up MBA with a score 71%. Currently I am working in a US mortgage company as a risk analyst. So my profile become like below
10th marks : 85.85%
12th marks : 85%
Graduation: 45%
1st MBA: 71%
Work ex : 2.5 years
But yes I am not satisfied yet as i couldn't study from a top tier college. I am now planing to take GMAT and targeting ISB, BITSOM as eligibility criteria is not there.
Is it possible to get into this college if i can score 720 in GMAT? IIM was my dream but i couldn't reach there. I need to reach ISB by hook or by crook. Please let me know.
Extremely sorry for posting this long story.🙏🙏
