Our selection process is a holistic one - we look at your leadership potential, academics and other personal attributes to determine your strength as a candidate. It is not possible to comment on chances without reviewing a completed application. I recommend you take time to reflect on some of the achievements and attributes you bring and convey to us through your essays and other parts of the application, how these attributes make you a strong candidate. To get some thoughts on how to make a strong application please feel free to call our admissions team for a confidential discussion.

All the best.

Hello Sir,

I will apply this year for ISB. My GMAT Score is 730, IR score 8 and AWA 5.5 . I have a work experience of 3 years as of now in NTPC Limited, a Maharatna PSU of Govt. of India in the field of power generation. My designation is Asst. Manager (Control and Instrumentation). I am very good in academics and was the gold medalist of Electronics Department in my B.Tech degree from NIT,Bhopal in 2010.

However, I am from a very humble background. My father doesn't earn anything at present. He is currently aged 71 and is a heart patient on constant medications. My parents are totally dependent on me. I have two elder sisters who are already married. A MBA from ISB will leave my family without any source of income any my parents will have to solely depend on the meagre family savings. In this context, I would like to ask that what should I submit as an income proof for my parents since they don't earn anything? The application portal says that if my parents are home-makers,I have to just upload a copy of a self declaration that my parents don't earn anything mentioning the reason for the same and the time when my father stopped earning. However, for sources of income like rent in which parents are homemakers and still a little income comes from rent, how should I demonstrate the same?

I would like to mention that my father stopped earning in 2009 when our family business was closed due to some unfortunate circumstances but we used to get a small amount from rents and my father used to even file income tax since last year. However, currently we do not even have rents and my parents' income is zero. So, what should I upload as proof of income? Both self declaration and income tax return of last year or only the self declaration?

As you can understand, sir, I really need scholarships. What is the amount and number of need based , merit based and diversity scholarships given by ISB for the batch of 2014-15? Do you think I stand a chance of getting an admit and scholarship? Also, will self declaration work for demonstarting financial need for Novartis Scholarships of INR 4 lakhs? Also, can you kindly inform what is the maximum amount of scholarship (combining both internal and external) that a student can theoretically get? Also, I have heard that some students get their entire fee waived. Is it true and if yes, how is it possible? It will be great if you ellaborate a bit more on this

Thanks in advance for your support

ISB offers both merit and needs based scholarships in addition to the multiple banks that offer collateral free loans. Please explain your situation in your application and every consideration is given to all selected applicants to ensure that they are not denied the opportunity to join the class if selected.

Financial means is NOT a consideration in the evaluation of an applicant. For specific documents that may apply in your case please write to app help@ isb . edu [no spaces]. I would encourage you to call us to discuss your candidature and not be discouraged by financial means considerations.

Hi. I've a basic query regarding the Early Entry Option.

Will all the students be having less than or equal to 2 years of experience in a class of Early Entry Option? Or will this batch be combined with the normal application process class?

How different is the treatment for people from Early Entry Option?

How does the <2 years experience affect the placements?

Early Entry candidates will join a future PGP class only after they have completed 2 years workex. Hence, no one in the class will have fewer than 2 yrs workex.

Hi,

While i am preparing for Gmat again, but at the same time i have a doubt regarding a Certification, Certificate Programme in Business Analytics, available at ISB which i felt might be useful for me.

I have a current work ex of 30 months with Infosys as a Senior Programmer. I have excelled well during this time with multiple distinct awards. I got 81% in 10th and 78% in PCM 12th, & 650 in GMAT. I am quite interested in moving from Technical line(from writing code) to Business side where i can work as a Business Analyst and help the business by proposing new ideas, understanding their customer base and work on their database to gather useful Intelligence.Please guide me if this certification will be useful and suitable for me.Here's the link to the course:

Hello Sir,

I am an ISB Aspirant and presently working in Toronto, Canada.

I have 2 questions:

1. Can an Indian citizen who is presently outside the country enroll for a Skype/Telephonic Interview with Adcom if shortlisted? If so then what is the process?

2. My college name is not under the list of colleges registered under Anna University Chennai although its a famous college in Southern Tamil Nadu. What should I select if I cant find my college name in the list? Also is there any way by which I can get my college name added in the list?

Eagerly looking forward for your response!

Thanks and Regards,

Surajit

All overseas applicants are interviewed over Skype. So you need not be concerned on this count.

Please send an email to app help @ isb . edu (no spaces) and they shall fix the issue with viewing your college in the list.
