You can talk about what you will do in the one hour before the interview and what you will say during the interview to win over your opponent, I believe the essays tests your communication and convincing skills.

@vision

yes the number of seats is being increased but perhaps to 525 and not 560, the exact number is still unclear.

VS Badri..
I like toknow does Ibanks come to ISB..and if not then do IBanks /PVt Equity firms in india/US/Singapore look for ISB ppl (World Top 20-Globally recognised)if we apply from outside( not through placemnets n all)

and also since there is increase in seats..ilike to know how many studs genrally ,traditionally been recruted by top Strategic Consulting firms and at Wat roles..Analyst or associates..or wat ?? plz reply to that.. and also for example: MCK recruts from IIM A,B,C but it may be 10-30 in total..not sure may be less..but in comparison to them how many studs gets the oppurtunity..

Please it would be great if u could also tell various "ROLES" students gets Post MBA in
1)..IT Consulting(having SAP techno-Functional exp-CRMexperience)..ROLES
2)..Strat. Consulting
3)..Ibanks..
4)..Marketing


IS there any trend been followed by these firms or they keep changing ther requirments every year seeing the candiature of Profiles..

Thanks..

In case it is possible for the people who have already applied to ISB (gotten selected or not, doesnt matter) to share their essays. (They can mask the personal details if any)
this will be of great help to the first timers.


whosoever wishes to share the essays can PM me, i can then zip all of them together and upload on a public site.

regards
ak

Re: ISB 2009 Aspirants - 09-06-2008, 12:45 AM

Hi,
This is the first message that i am posting and am also new to this site. My profile:

Acads - 10&12th around 75%
B.tech- Civil, IIT Delhi(5.81/10)
GMAT : 680
Age: 26
Work ex: 2 years in an IT firm and then
Self employed(for around a year now) working as a business/operations consultant. I predominantly work with startups and help them expand. Working with a IT consulting startup and devised strategy to solve their receivables issues, helped their revenues expand,with effective strategies,from 1lakh for 07-08 to target of 18 lakh for 08-09(around 6L worth deals closed) and channelized the company's operations to help them manage the receivables issue better.
Also working with a management consulting startup and developed their operations from scratch in hyderabad(the startup is based in Delhi) have followed and closed deals with few leads here in the areas of corporate valuation, business plan reports etc. Am responsible for getting these projects, executing and delivering it.

Extra curricular: National level sub-junior TT player, as a captain of the IIT Delhi team lead the team to win gold in the inter iit and few other inter college tt events in Delhi.
Received medals in fund raising for Unicef while in school.
NCC 'A' Certificate holder.

Questions:
1)Should i retake my GMAT or is that score ok considering the profile.
2)My college acads are too low(in fact it also look me an additional semester to complete B.tech), is significant weightage given to that in ISB admission.
2)Who can write my reference letter, I was thinking one from the IT firm where I worked and the other from the IT startup whose operations i am building now(but the promoter of this company is a friend of mine) is that ok?
3) Also advice me about the chances of people who work in the areas of operations consulting with startups.

Please let me know your views and comments, especially people like badri, others are also welcome.

Thanks
Nikil
