Hey till which weekend are we expecting interviews? I see last years deadline was mid feb. Sorry decision release was mid feb

Also my status is on ’Verified’ Does that signify anything? Or is it verified for everyone?

Hi, Can recommender submit their letter after 3-4 days of deadline?

In one of the webinars it was clearly said that we shouldn’t use AI to write essays but can use it to polish it. After doing it Ai detect software show x% ai based text. So upto what value can x be acceptableby isb?

I have admit from IIMA. Waiting for ISB’s results. Assuming I get in both, which one should I choose ?

Both the programs provide good opportunities (curriculum + placements + alum network) in the operations management space. However, ISB might have a slight edge in terms of its cohort having a more diverse background even within the operations/project management domain. Students with core operations background are sought after by tier 1 consulting firms as well, if that is also an option you are thinking about then ISB has a stronger history with top management consulting firms.

I don’t want to join consultancy. I would like to go to any core Operations Management position. So considering that as well as considering ROI, since IIMA has less fees than ISB, which one is preferable ?

Even in operations management, ISB’s flagship MBA will be invaluable. Between IIMA EPGP and ISB flagship MBA, ISB is head and shoulders above the executive MBA. Fees difference does not matter as it’s the investment for the lifetime.
