Which browser are you using. People were facing similar issues with Google Chrome. I suggest you use Internet Explorer. If that also doesnt work out drop in a mail to Adcom with the transaction details. Also give them a call explaining the issue. I am sure they'll help you out.
Dear Adcom,
I am an applicant in the Round II, I have been trying to submit my application by paying the application fees but I am not able to do so because of the website error. I have got the payment trasaction details from the bank but I have not received an application reference number fro...

Good evening Mr. Menon and Adcom,
The ISB admission offer email states that the amount to be deposited is INR 2 lakhs or US$5000 to confirm a place in the batch of 2010.
Since ISB realises the fees in INR (per the website) and given the latest exchange rates bringing the INR 2 lakhs equival...
Dear Adcom,
Thanks for the admission offer extended to me and thanks for all the wonderful help you have been providing here. We have all benefitted hugely from the same.
I have one quick question. Could you please tell whether merit based scholarships have also been announced already along...
Hello Adcom.
Can you please share some information regarding, out of approx 560 seats for the class of 2010, how many offers are made in R1 and how many have been put on waiting list.
And, from the past year data for class of 2009, approximately how many people from the wait list get accept...
Hi,
I have applied in R2 a few days back. I have one query.
After ISB, if I am admitted, I wish after some years to enter into academics (i.e. research and teaching) would the ISB PGP course be recognised.
Your advice on this will be warmly appreciated.

Hi Adcom,
I want to thank you for your innovative and unconventional decision to help us out by using Pagalguy. It would be difficult for me to explain what I mean when I say that today is genuinely a milestone in my life. Part of the credit for my getting admitted goes to the advice I got fro...
Dear Admissions@ISB
I'm an R1 admit, and I want to thank you all for your assistance.

Dear Sir,
I am an Round-2 applicant. I added 2 recommenders to submit an online application. The email-invite sent to one of the recommenders went to Junk folder, which had an auto-delete on. Hence, the email got deleted. Is there an option to resend the email.
Thanks,
Deepanshu
Sir,
I am a R1 applicant.
As requested in the interview shortlist mail, I had emailed the documents (transcripts) to ISB.
It has still not been updated in my application portal (i.e. the "list of documents received by ISB" tab).
Can you please let me know if I need to do something ab...
Amit,
1) Mention 0 as the number of employees.
2) Enter 0/1 for salary details as well. Upload a letter from IIML stating that you were a full time employee with no salary/stipend.
Admissions Team
Smack,
There is no specific time. You can expect a mail anytime post 5 pm. Till then rest easy and please try to concentrate on your work!!!
All the best to all the Puys.

Isb_here_i_am,
Extra curricular activities form an integral part of your application. A good GMAT score will increase your chances of being short listed for an interview. However, essays are also equally important.
Admissions Team
Ankit,
You will be notified via email and sms. Your applicant status on the website will also reflect the results.

Thank you for providing this information. To clarify it further, what should I write in the 1) No of Employees and 2) the salary? I did it at IIM-Lucknow and it was a research assistant-ship without any stipend. We were a team of two who did it. So should I write the employees as 2 or the total n...
Dear Adcom,

AJAIN1980,
No, there is no such reservation. These questions were a part of the essays last year.
Admissions Team
AJAIN1980,
Your internship will not count as work exp. It is not a mandatory information, if you wish then you an mention the details.
Admissions Team
Surprisingly, ISB has not asked about the career goals, Why MBA, Why ISB kind of information in any of the essays. Are these reserved for the interview section?
Mbaclassof1011,
It helps in gauging your clarity of thought, maturity and career aspirations.

Thanks for the reply. Just wanted to confirm (from the point 2 above) that I can include my undergrad internships too in the employment history? Somewhere I read that the employment history should start only after graduation.
Appreciate your time to help the applicants.
Dear Mr. Menon,
What role does the long term career goal play in the interview and selection process?
Thanks,
Suheb,
The interactive learning comes from the experiences the students have had in the varied industries, functions, locations and situations that they have been exposed to before coming to ISB. While the length of work experience does add a lot of learning it is also true that people could h...
Abhish,
As of now, ISB is not participating in the QS Rankings. However, we have forwarded your query to the concerned department and they will look into it.
