Someone was talking bout the word thing in the 15 minutes assessment...please shed some more light yaar...i am really bad at farting on topics such as success, friends, goals....specially in 15 minutes....i took ages to finish my essays.

Hi, even last year the 'on the spot' essay was part of the interview process. A random word or term is given for each interview day or session... some of the words given during the previous years were like 'green-shoe', 'faith' etc. [Absolutely random choice of words]

You have 15-20 minutes to write around 300 words in an A4 sheet.

I had asked a colleague (who is an ISB alumni) about this impromptu essay and he had mentioned that the idea behind this is probably to ensure that the essays you have submitted earlier-on were actually written by you. i.e. if my application essays were well modulated and grammatically perfect and my 'impromptu' essay is crappy, anyone reading the essays in a sequence can easily makeout that the original essays were not my work. [If you app essays were the churned out by one of the essay-editing services, you may need to ensure that your interview essay matches in style and diction]

This assessment is also an indicator of how fast the candidate can think on his/her feet and generate some ideas.

Don't worry too much about filling in all the available space in the given sheet, a couple of meaningful & well-written paragraphs are good enough.

Since the given word may have ambigous meanings, there is no right or wrong answer. For example, I could have related 'greenshoe' with elves and fairies and written some BS about it... whereas someone from a hardcore IB background would have written about 'over-allotment option' in an IPO, which is also referred to as a 'Greenshoe'.

Before going to the interview, note down your app ref number somewhere. You will have to enter it in the 15 min essay sheet.
