chemical engineer : Off Topic

10 mins
Graduation - 2014 (ICT Mumbai, Chemical Engineering - 7.6/10)

M.Tech - IIT - B (8.1/10)(2016)
GATE AIR - 102

2.5 years work at Godrej consumer product in Sustainability.

Past 5 years handling my family business of chemical manufacturing in Vapi, Gujarat.

My past 5 years in my SSI have taught me that I require a lot of skills which I currently lack in my business operation and hence by doing an MBA I think will club that gap, also aid a smoother transition to corporate.

Just wanted to know if this score is good enough for R2 application at ISB

Hi Keshavkabra1,

Your academic profile combined with your corporate and family business work experience shows diversity in skills which can act in your favour in your R2 ISB applications. You have a strong motive to pursue an MBA which needs to reflect in your essays.

While the GMAT/GRE requirement is waived for the April 2025 intake, this policy might change for subsequent intakes. Keep an eye on ISB's website for updates or email the admissions committee.

As far as your admission is concerned, ISB doesn't have specific cut-offs for GPAs or work experience. They follow a holistic evaluation approach.

Applying in R2 is still feasible. However, focus on crafting a compelling application that highlights your unique experiences and how you'll contribute to the ISB community.

Would you like to schedule a free consultation with one of our MBA experts to delve deeper into your profile and develop a tailored application strategy? We can help you optimize your chances of admission. You can also connect with us at +91 7780769732.

11)My essays were top-notch.
Does my low GMAT score & low CGPA affect my candidacy a lot? I applied for Round 1 for HEC Paris MiM. Can I also get the Eiffel Excellence Scholarship?
I hardly had 10 days to prepare for my GMAT test because I wanted to apply for HEC's MiM program for Round1 for Eiffel Excellence Scholarship. Should I retake GMAT test to boost my score? If yes, by how much? I feel, I've to work a little on my Verbal & DI.
