Hi Dungavath,

Thanks for sharing your profile.

Academics wise, your profile is good. Work wise, since many candidates from oil PSUs are trying out, the differentiation factor is missing from other such profiles.

Also its difficult to understand what you have done as part of your job based on the description provided. Please try to reduce the technical jargon.

Extra curriculars are ok. You should focus on highlighting whats different in your profile and prepare for interviews rigorously to get an admit.

Profile wise you are there, just work on the way you want to portray that.

Best wishes!

Hi Dungavath

You should have submitted your application by now. If you have started the PGP application and are still thinking whether to apply or not, then take this as a final nudge and complete your application along with your essays as soon as possible and submit the application.

You have a good academic pedigree with rich work experience and quality extra curricular activities. The challenge for you is how to represent the best of all you have through the application process.

Wishing you all the best.

Regards

Alums can refer prospective candidates before the submission deadline only. Hence, if you haven’t been referred yet by anyone, then this link is of no practical use to you.

Many of the R2 applicants still need to receive an interview invite.

Shall such applicants consider themselves as dinged? Or the ISB Team will be sending more invitees?

If anyone who knows about historical trends can share inputs, it will be helpful to many applicants.
