I highly recommend S4G and Manan’s team to anyone looking for assistance in the application process for ISB. They are incredibly responsive and are guiding me at every step.

Hi highly recommend applying to other better Bschools if you don’t want to waste your precious time and energy. ISB is only for diversity. It won’t surprise me if they start rolling admits to monkeys and dogs next year.

But for someone who doesn’t want to go abroad, there are no options left for colleges that take GMAT :(

I agree with this completely. As an IT male who got rejected by ISB 2 times without interview, don’t believe the politically correct wordings on their website and during the webinars. You need 740+ in GMAT as a male IT candidate. period.

I have one example. One of my close friends (guy) has almost similar profile and gmat 740, he could not make it to interview. Assuming you are a guy too, with no extra curricular, I would recommend you go for CAT again.
This is just my opinion based on one instance. I might be wrong.

Currently working in a strategic consultancy firm, with 2 years of work experience ( as of May 2023).

Do you think my low work exp will be a hinderance to converting ISB this year?

Do you work at strategy consulting or advisory?
Asking because I work in same industry and never heard of anyone (except people from top IITs, that too is rare) without an MBA to break into strategy consulting.

You have ample time. Aim to give GMAT by end of July and you will be good.

Hello,

If you are already focusing on scoring high on the GMAT why not go ahead and prepare for the CAT as well. From what you have mentioned here, there is no signal that you should not apply to ISB or that it is a waste of time. It is competitive for sure. If you lack extracurriculars, now is a good time to add it. Given the critical nature of this decision, it is pragmatic to research all options that you are eligible for, given your criteria and prepare to apply to them. Writing the CAT exam will open up a lot of options for you to apply to business schools in India (at 2 years of experience), which do not accept the GMAT score.

All the best!
