Hello Sir,

I just wished to know the rationale of declaring separate shortlists for separate interview venues. Ideally one would think that the entire shortlist is made irrespective of interview venues. Any particular reason for not declaring them at one go ?

Can you please put me in touch with some alumni / students of ISB, maybe of similar profile. I had registered on the ISB website for contact with Alumni / student, but did not hear back.

Many thanks

If yes, would they get to know this right now or at the time of Round 2??

Thanks

Sidbidus,

No, the applications that have not been short listed in the first cycle will not be considered in the second round.

Rajesh,

We offer Negotiation Analysis as an elective in Term 5 but we do not have anything specifically on labour laws and Industrial Relations.

Does ISB ensure that people with diverse background are represented in list for interviewalone, or does ISB ensure the factor of diversity in it's final admits list also.

VK

VK,

We ensure that the diversity factor is taken care off in the list of final admits. However, this not mean that there is any compromise in terms of quality.

We do not look at Reapplicants in a negative manner. Rather we feel that Reapplicants are coming back to us because they are extremely interested in ISB. We have a feedback mechanism wherein applicants who’ve not made it to ISB in a specific year can call us up or email us for feedback on their applications. With respect to Reapplicants we specifically check what the applicant has achieved in over the last time he/she has applied to ISB. We provide Reapplicants with the choice that they can apply to ISB writing all the essays again, or else they can just re-apply with one essay talking about the changes in the candidature since they last applied.
Dear Mr Menon,
Where is this option for a re-applicant provided in the application?
Thanks

Nirvan,

This option was available last year only. This year all the reapplicants have to write all the essays. Please visit the FAQS at Full Time Post Graduate Programme in Management Frequently Asked Questions Indian School of Business (ISB)

I am based out of Bangalore and as there was no option to choose Bangalore as the preferred interview location this year, I have opted for the interview at Hyderabad. With the vacation season coinciding with the Hyderabad interview dates, it will be very helpful if you can publish the results for out-of-station candidates beforehand.

Rk.mba09,

We are trying our best to release the list as early as possible. However, we cannot commit on any particular date.
