First of all CONGRATULATION to people who have been selected for interview in R1. Lets rock the next round too..... This thread is to discuss the interview preparation strategy for ISB R1 selection process. Please post your ideas on what you think ISB would be looking at in the interview process....

The first step is to be Honest and be as true as possible.

Try to be urself in the interview...... Dont try to say what the interviewer wants to hear. Say what you wanna say..... Say the truth......

Honesty would be the best policy even in the interviews.....

Lotsa people go wrong here.....

Can we have a poll or something from which we can figure out that out of the 1500 applicants for the first round, how many have been called for interview. I had suggested moderators to open a poll on the ISB Interviews and Admits thread which can have the following options:

1. Shortlisted
2. Waitlisted
3. Rejected

But the moderators didnt think such a poll would do any good.

Rajitated: Can you open such a poll or something similar if you think my idea will do good.

Thanks,
Abhishek.

HURRICANE ... ur bang on target ....

Apart from the honesty trait .... wat are the other prep material .....
is GK and other general awareness thing important ... many people will not be too comfortable with it ... but are good at work related topics.....

I am a little confused on if this round of selection is similar to IIMS .. if it is then there is lot of work to be done...

I was talking to a friend of mine and he was a passout from ISB last year and he said- expect to be grilled about your essays. Thats about it and he said its more like a personality based interview to see how well you fit into ISB. Kept harping on the essays though. Said, they would have scrutinized it inside out, so be ready to defend/justify everything you have written in it.

Alsmost everyone has said that ... I think essays will from the major part of the interview...

I now strongly believe that the interview will be just a validity check on the application submitted....if u can validate everything... you are THRU.....

If there's already another thread that specifically says ISB-2008 Interviews and Admits why do we have a separate thread just for R1.

What happens at the end of R1? Another thread for R2?
