Nikil,

The final admission offer is made on the basis of your application as well as the interview performance.

Hi,

Are the applicants in a position to view the submitted recommedations?

My application is now deemed complete but Im still unable to view the recommendations-they are not included in the generated pdf either.

Thank you

Dear Sir

I have 3 specific queries:

1. Would the CA industrial training at Hindustan Unilever after completion of graduation count towards work experience? During this period, I did not attend any college and worked full time at HUL.

2. Would one be required to submit both professional and academic references or would only professional references work? I ask this specifically since I have lost touch with almost all my teachers in college.

3. Can one include certificate courses completed under the ISB Executive Education programme as academic qualifications spcifically for the purpose of the PGPM application?

Regards
Sidharth

Dear sir

I am working with a software company. I am a bit hesitant to ask for a recommendation from my current supervisor, as there have been precedents that have not been taken well.

But, there is a senior person (with the same designation as my immediate supervisor) in the team who is well aware of my activities since beginning and is willing to recommend me. What relationship should I mention in the ISB form:
1. Co-worker/colleague
2. Project Leader
3. Supervisor

And, should I mention this thing in the optional essay. Actually, I already had some experience to share in essay4. So should I just add a line at the end regarding choice of recommender?

Thanks!

Sidharth,

1) If this training was a part of your CA internship, then it will not be considered as work exp.
2) We prefer professional references as the questions are related to your professional achievements and not to academic life. However, it is not mandatory that you submit a professional/academic reco. You can choose between the two.
3) You can mention this under Additional qualifications.

Sahil,

You can mention him as your supervisor. A line in the Optional essay about this will suffice.

Thanks in advance.

Sachin, you are eligible to apply to ISB as there is no minimum cut-off for marks obtained in graduation or school. The only way out is that you get a very good GMAT score.
