Does ISB review a candiate's application with his/her own peer group.
If someone is working in 'X' industry will he/she be compared with those applying from that industry/role profile.
If that is not the case, then how is the modulation done for comparison amongst unequals. @Llewellyn75 @mba-help

My Work Profile:
I joined DRDO as a Scientist B on 4th Dec, 2008.Since then I have been working in the field of Control & Guidance systems for Autonomous underwater vehicles. My work is more of a classified type. So here I will explain as much as I am allowed to.
1. I have been involved in design and development of Guidance system for underwater systems. I have developed software programs to conduct Hardware In-Loop Simulation for underwater vehicles
2. I have developed a modern guidance algorithm in association with IISc, Banglore. All the modeling and simulation to prove the algorithms were carried out using Matlab/Simulink.

4. Developed GUI based test software to conduct acceptance tests on sensors using VC++.
5. Implemented embedded coding on some latest miniaturized boards like LPC 1768.
As I was working in an R&D organization, I have a little scope to manage people. I am leading a team of 2 Technical officers presently. I had the privilege to interact with many foreign technicians at the time of product installation and training sessions.
I have two main queries:
1. Is my GMAT score competitive enough to apply for ISB or IIMs? Or it is better to re-take the GMAT.
2. Can my confidential work become a problem while I prepare my application? (This is a more specific question- If any DRDO people who applied for Bschool, please respond).
Thanks in advance.

Praveen Kumar V
