Re: ISB 2009 Aspirants - 23-06-2008, 10:51 PM

Hi

Could anybody please provide insights on to what is expected out of essay questions for session 2009-2010.

1.Please give three reasons why ISB should admit you into the class of 2010. These reasons should ideally differentiate you from your competition. (300 words max )

2.You are contesting the election to be the President of the ISB Student Body. Write a speech you will deliver to the student body on why they should elect you as the President? (300 words max)

3.CASE : You have been appointed to head the team to build a dam across the River Zumba. Success in this project is critical for your company and would earn you a promotion. Failure would mean that your company would be bankrupt and will take along with it, its investors and its employees. Building a dam across the river would result in deforestation of a portion of the rainforests and would mean relocation of the tribals and destabilization of wild life at Zumba. There is resistance from environmental groups against your project. You are meeting the head of the resistance movement in one hour wherein you would have to explain your decision. Describe what you would do and why? (You will be evaluated on the creativity and practicality of your solution). (300 words max)

4.Optional
Please provide additional information, if any, that will significantly affect the consideration of your application to the ISB. Please do not repeat information which has already been stated elsewhere in the application. You may use this to clarify any breaks in education/work, inform about any other item which you think has not been covered elsewhere etc. (300 words max)


Thanks for all the help.

Also a query regarding admissions round ,
Is there a cutoff that x% will be taken from round 1 , and y % from round 2
and x>y ?
Does it matter you apply in round 1 or round 2 , or there's equal probability of getting thru ?

Re: ISB 2009 Aspirants - 26-06-2008, 11:43 AM

I have a few of questions regarding the ISB admission procedure.

a) While going through the ISB admissions account, i could not find anywhere being asked to specify whether i am interested in Round1 or Round 2, can anyone explain how can i choose between round1 and round 2?

b) Does ISB allow changing Interview scheduling from a India city based personal interview to a Telephonic interview at an international site. My issue is that there is a good chance that i will be out of the country for 6 to 8 months starting july. I may just be able to make it back by the Round 2 interview dates, but i am not sure.

c) Personal interview vs telephonic interview----I am assuming that ISB does not make any disctinction whatsoever between these two, does anyone have any stats that can reflect telephonic interview people have as much of a chance as personal interview people. Personally speaking i am always a Personal interview person, but if circumstances do not permit, then i will have no choice but to opt for a telephonic interview (Provided i am shortlisted in the first place)

Look foward to your responses.

Thanks
NK

Badri,

First, my profile in brief:
# Indian, Male
# 30yrs, 8.5 yrs work ex when I join next year
# Acads - avg, from NIT Nagpur (erstwhile REC Nagpur)
# Working in IT, on ERP/CRM. Will have been a Project Manager for almost 3 yrs in March 2009, PMP certification in 2007
# GMAT 740/6.0 (2008 )
# Have managed initiatives that have directly impacted the bottomline of the organization
# Have managed development of dashboard that enables the CEO to assess Sales VPs' performance (interacted with the directorate office for this)
# Have managed sunset of an organization application

Would you please share your thoughts on how competitive this might be?

More importantly, as far as EC is concerned, I am involved in activities which basically fall into giving back to society. However, all this has been in a contributor's role, not at all as a leader. How much water does it hold in your opinion?
