What Indian colleges are suited for my profile also is there any chance for ISB ?
How much GMAT score should I target for the same?
Academics aren’t that great. Extensive experience in finance is a strength that can be leveraged in essays and interviews. Your choice of school would also depend on your post MBA aspirations and target GMAT score will also be a function of your target school. In general, 655+ should definitely be your target.

Hii guys I am yet to give GMAT exam in 15 days I have work experience of 6 year in IOCL + 7.6 GPA IN BTECH + 88.4% in 12th + 8.4 CGPA in 10th. No drop year . GATE rank 246 in ME in year 2018. How much do i need to score in GMAT to get into IIMA or ISB
General advice would be to score 655+. But GMAT is a component of your overall profile so a lot would also depend on other aspects of your application.

Hi Manan, thanks a lot for sharing this info. With this new program, would there be a reduction in the number of seats for the full time PGP program? In other words, would the competition increase for the full time PGP intake of ‘25?

For a given candidate, you’ll get to know only 5-7 days in advance. But in general, the invites would most likely start coming in for some candidates from next week itself

Hey everyone,

Calling all ISB R1 applicants this year (ISB Co' 2026)! Planning something to manage our anxiety and plan the next days till interview invite rolls out efficiently, and get started with interview prep.
I feel paying consultants a bomb at this moment when we all are surrounded by uncertainty is not worth right now, so why not let's host alumni sessions on interview tips.
Feel free to ping me on: +91-7665858594

Hey,Sidharthkp98


Overall, good profile, you have a good chance. Try to score a competitive score (655+). Although you haven't mentioned your post-MBA goals, you should have a clear understanding of your post-MBA goals, which is a strong point. Many applicants struggle with this. Explaining this in an impactful manner in your essays will help you create a strong application.

665 or above Sidharthkp98.

Note that chance of admission would be a bit "jumping the gun" at this juncture. A score of 665 or above, along with a well-crafted application, has a decent chance of fetching you an interview call.

Subsequently, chances of admission would also significantly depend upon how your interview goes.

Decent academics. Work Ex in Supply chain & Ops with Flipkart will be a very valuable asset. You should target a GMAT of 655+. While that alone doesn’t guarantee admission, higher score can improve your chances. A lot would also depend on your post MBA goals and how well you craft your application. Wish you the very best for the application process
