Hello Everyone

In the ISB Application, after the "Test Scores" Section, we need to fill in the " Language Proficiency" and "Upload Documents" Sections. Since I am yet to give my GMAT, I am unable to see those sections. Any idea what needs to be filled in there. What all documents are needed there so that I can prepare them and keep them ready. I won’t have much time after my GMAT before the deadline of 8th Dec
Fill some dummy entries in Test scores section, to move to other sections.

Update those dummy entries with actual data, once you are done with GMAT.

p.s. I am actually not sure why ISB application mandates that one cannot move to the next section, before filling up the current section. Seems an unwarranted restriction to me.

ISB Alums/Consultants in this forum , would you be able to provide any insight into the nature of shortlisting for interviews? Is the initial interview list merit-based ( grouped by location ) based on best fit into ISB *or* is it a random list ( of candidates who meet certain criteria) ? Are your chances affected/reduced if you are in the subsequent interview calls for a location?

For reference, I have a 675 GMAT FE & 3 years IB experience , currently ’verified" for Bangalore location. Given the days of November are almost at an end, having a hard time holding onto the hope of an ISB admit ( rather an interview invite atleast xD )

Dear All,

We have compiled the following list of questions based on feedback from applicants who availed our mock interview services and attended their virtual interviews for ISB’s Round 1 admissions today.

1. Why did you decide to join a Data Analytics company after completing an undergraduate degree in Mining Engineering?
2. You mentioned working on the commercial rollout of a Generative AI project at your firm. How did you demonstrate its proof of value to the client?
3. You stated that you developed a system to scrape data from the web. In your opinion, is this an ethical practice? Why or why not?
4. How do you envision Generative AI impacting your long-term goal of becoming an education entrepreneur?
5. Why are you considering an MBA at ISB instead of joining an EdTech company directly?
6. Do you currently lead a team as part of your professional responsibilities? If yes, please elaborate.
7. What is one thing you like about your current firm and one thing you would change?
8. On a scale of 1 to 5, how would you rate your leadership skills? Please explain your reasoning.
9. Share an example of a conflict you faced at work and how you managed to resolve it.
10. What unique perspective do you believe you will bring to classroom discussions at ISB?
11. If your short-term goal is to become a Product Manager (PM), and you are already performing similar responsibilities as a pseudo-PM, why do you feel pursuing an MBA is necessary?
12. What challenges do you foresee in building and scaling your entrepreneurial venture in the long term?
13. You mentioned setting up a team from scratch at your current organization. What challenges did you face during this process, and how did you overcome them?
14. How does your approach differ when working as a solo contributor compared to leading a team?
15. Your application mentions specific electives in Healthcare. How do you plan to leverage the learning from these courses to achieve your goals?
16. Why did you stop pursuing your hobby of choreography after your undergraduate studies?

P.S : These are actual questions asked during their interviews.

Note: The written essay topics were primarily based on 2 themes :
1. How will you resolve potential conflict between two team members / case study mates?
2. Do you own up for a mistake your committed at work, or let it pass under the radar hoping that the manager / client won't pick it up

Feel free to reach out to us if you have/ waiting to receive an interview invite and want to amp up your chances by going through mocks with ISB alums.

Cheers and all the best!

Only one way to find out ( and that is to wait ).

But chances are v v v slim. Do not keep your hopes up. Move on. I'm on the same boat.

i am a bit shocked to see people with score of 655+ not receive interview call, last year my sister had a score of 625 she applied in R2 and she got a call
Even i have received a call at 645 this year
Is it the intense competition in R1 which has caused this?

(Even i have not received a call at 645 this year)*

Any idea for which location? Has anyone received an invite for this yet? I don't see any updates by anyone at least on this forum. How many days before the interview does the portal show Shortlisted instead of Verified.

I have my CFAs this weekend (which is another issue if I do get a interview invite) and I am not able to focus given I have no clarity. Just going to assume I am not getting it.
