Seems competition is even tougher this year with only around 600 seats.

Hello , I’m applying in R2. I am CA and I took 3 attempts to clear my final exam . ISB asks if there is any gap in professional education. So , do my attempts have to be included /
specified as gap in education ?

Hi ShivnaM,

No. This doesn't actually get classified as a gap since I am sure you were doing something during the period when you were attempting the CA. ISB adcom understands that CA examination people' take multiple attempts to complete - because of multiple groups. Hence the expectation is NOT that you will clear the exam at first go.

In case you have any more doubts regarding R2 application reach out to us at: [email protected]

Hi ShivnaM, my impression would be no, but I would suggest you directly write to ISB to get further clarity on this.

hi, I did. submitted on 17th, got verification mail on 24th and got interview invite last sunday for next weekend interview.
From what i have seen in this forum it is difficult to predict the criteria on which they are sending the interview invites first.

Had my interview at 2 pm today and suppose that this was the same panel. Would you have any idea?




This user wants to stay Private
Background:
Interview was mostly conversational.
3 ISB Alums and 1 Adcom who remained on mute and not on camera.

Questions:
1. Why ISB?
2. Why MBA?
3. Questions about marketing such as
a. 5 Changes in consumer behaviour in the recent years.
b. Difference between Product marketing and Marketing Managers.
This was specific to me because I want a PMM role post MBA and that I don't currently have a lot of experience as a marketer.
4. Questions about my company and my role in the company.
5. Learning from my extra-curricular activities and how I can apply them professionally.
6. Whether I have applied to colleges other than ISB?
7. Favourite technology product?
8. Questions about professional challenge and challenges faced in a team setting.
9. My perspective on marketing for EdTechs
10. Few factors important for EdTechs to succeed (because my company has an EdTech division).
11. What I find annoying about dealing with clients as an Account Manager?

After this they asked me if I had questions for them.

Interview lasted about 50 to 55 minutes. Felt that the interview went well although it could have gotten better.

Tips:
1. Stay calm
2. Ensure that you are aware of your industry and its trends
3. Brush up on basic concepts if you have recently (in the past year) switched jobs.
4. Be very clear on your goals and the examples you use.

Have any EEO applicants had their interviews yet? If so, would you mind sharing your profile and your interview experience?

Any idea when would be the last set of interview invites for R1 be released? Considering the spike in applications this time, is the deadline of 10th Nov (for interviews) expected to stretch?
