Hey guys, my application portal's been showing the Application status as completed for quite some time.

Application Completion Status:
Completed

Your application has been verified and found complete. Further update on short-listing will be available approximately 5 to 7 days before your interview, if shortlisted, for the interview location you have chosen. Request you to bear with us, till we communicate further.

But I have got no mail from the adcom saying the same. Should I be worried ? I submitted on 12th Jan.

Check alternate email id.

If I were you, I wouldn't be. But just to be doubly sure would call the adcom and confirm.

Hi All, Done with my interview yesterday.

It was pretty cool and started with usual question like brief your profile, Why MBA, Why ISB and your qualities.
Just be thorough with what you have written in essays, they will literally pick almost all points from your essays.
Since I am from Financial services, couple of questions were asked on same.

Overall experience was good...not that grilling as I was expecting.

Hoping for the best. The waiting period starts!!!

All the best to all :-)

How did your one word essay thing go? Were any guesstimate questions asked?

Don't worry about one word essay much, you will get time to browse and read. No guesstimate for me.

What is guesstimate?
Something like "How many coffee shops in Mumbai?" or "How many petrol pumps in Mumbai?" There's no right answer. The idea is to look at how you approach such a problem. Basically you are 'guessing' and giving an 'estimate'. That's why a guesstimate :D

Help needed here.

I have been invited for Skype interview on 14th Feb. However, I am travelling to India during that time. Is there any chance of rescheduling the interview?

Also, for no apparent reason, I don't receive ISB emails on my registered email ID. The last email I received was of evaluator details being submitted. Application completion email was received on alternate email id I provided.

I got to know about the interview from online application portal. I cannot reschedule or accept the invite as I have not received any email.

What should i do?

This is like answering my own question (Lol), but I found this on another website:

Sent in a mail to the admission team on the dates. This was the official info provided :


City Date

Kolkata Feb 13th -14th

Bangalore Feb 19th-21st

Mumbai Feb 27th -28th

Hyderabad Feb 06th -29th

Skype Feb 06th -29th

Mohali Feb 15th -29th ( Tentative)

If shortlisted, we will let you know at least 3-5 days prior to the interview date.
