> Hi all, I nderstand that along with application, transcripts from University/Institute are required to be submitted. What is the exact requirement and process? Can anyone explain please?
Hello. I do not think transcript are necessary at this stage. While applying in r1 is sent a mail to adcom confirming grade card is okay at the application stage
Thanks 👍

Have you applied in 1st round this year?

Hi all, I have a few questions hopefully someone here can help out .

I am 28 m , OCI card holder . I graduated this year in Germany in business economics bachelors program. I worked part time during my entire 4 years in Germany and before that I was involved in my family business for 3 years .

Am I technically eligible to apply for ISB pgp or only post graduation work experience is counted and I can’t ?

Also if I apply for ISB PGP YL , am I way out of the class age range ?

Hi PoojaSanghai,

Good to see your CA background and certain you will have some strong talking point from work. Aim for a 675+ on the GMAT - the higher, the better.

Please leave an inquiry for a free strategy session with us, so we can duly guide you: https://www.expertsglobal.com/isb-admissions-consulting

All the best!

Any experience obtained before the graduation completion is internship.

So you are eligible for YL program and
yes you are way out of YL age group but why care about age when you have no alternative???

Can someone guide me on how much I should score in GMAT Focus to crack R2 of ISB :
1. I am an Associate Product Manager at Blooming Health, a US Health Tech Firm that works towards connecting the community-based organisations and social care networks with the elderly or economically challenged users. Also, these orgs help in providing Medicaid and screening for needs to these users.
2. I have over 5 years of experience:
a. Junior specialist (2021) Boston consulting group
b. Business Analyst (2022) Kfin Technologies Ltd
c. Associate Product Manager (2023-2025) across RenewBuy (Insurance), 2070 Health (VC), and now Blooming Health.
10th: 8.8 CGPA
12th: 71.4%
Bachelors in computer Application: 9.38 CGPA
3. Extra Curriculars
a. Been the organizing member of TEDxMSIT 2019
b. English Mentor at NGO named Rhythm of Life (2018-2019)
c. Rotaract Head 2018-2019 (got the best head award)
Hi propinopia, Product Management role in health tech and brand of BCG and KFintech will help your case. The acads are decent and you have a variety of EC. Overall, a nice profile to have. But there is lot of competition within tech background applicants, so try to get a score above 675. That will help your case. No score can guarantee a selection and even a 635 can get a selection as beyond score, your profile, interviews matter. But a 675+ will be good for you. Best Wishes.

Work exp after graduation is only considered. However, if you have worked in the family business on full time basis and you have all necessary documents to support yopur case, you can apply for sure. Best wishes ! Manish Mishra (Founder - TutelageX) | http://www.tutelagex.com

I think interview location and verification mail are unrelated. I opted for a virtual interview and received the confirmation
The adcom told me that they verified the updates in my application last Monday itself but the confirmation mail will be sent in batches in 3-4 business days.
