Actually, with net, you should not be bothered about the location. I have heard good recos about The Best MBA Essay editing service - General Education and essay for mba.

Mr. Nikki ,
Just an advice,First gather some info like,what are the admission deadlines for Isb , then try look at the application procedure (you will find lot of discussion groups for this).
Then you can assess yourself for the time required .
Gather as much info as you can like avg GMAT scores, avg work exp ,some interview expereinces.
It will help you a lot , because you need to put lot of effort in completing your application . Hence dont be in a hurry to get some tentative date from members here and take GMAT ,then apply for ISB . If not this year you can apply next year ..

To start off just know about GMAT , assess your self,how much time you require to get a best score (say 700) ..once you take GMAT , then you can work on the application.
By june/July , if you are ready with a excellent GMAT score that will help you in applying for round1 or 2.

cheers,
Kris

Hello All,

MS in SW Eng - 6.3 CGPA

Coming to my Work Ex- Have been with an IT Comp for 4 years as a part of the course mentioned above. I have been into multiple roles - Support Analyst, Module Lead, Team Lead, Quality Coordinator, Project Lead, Systems Analyst and Business Analyst. At present I am working for a consulting company as a Consultant in a particualr area.

I have been on international assignments for about 7-8 months. So that forms my Internatioanal Experience.

Coming to my extra curriculars, havent really been active in school and college. But was a part of out cultural activities group within my community and invovled in lot of social activities.

At work, invovled in orgnising lot of events and parties etc.

Addtional things --> Have done a crash course in portugese (15 days )

Hi All Aspirants,

Am one of the aspirants of ISB-PGP ..
Daily I look @ the main gate of ISB and get excited to get into those gates one fine day !!! (Well, i work for an IT company which is near by ISB,hyderabad)

My profile is little different.

B.E - 2004 passout
MBA - 2006 passout

with 0yrs of exp , i was offered a ANalyst post in a BPO for a 4 figure salary, which I could not digest, so moved to IT industry to start a good career, but settled down in a entry level techie job .

Now am looking for a serious change and so planned to take up PGP @ ISB.....

Thus, looking into these posts and replying them...

Hope we'll meet one day in person

Do share the info in this forum and enrich us with knowledge

All the best folks
