ISB 2017 Aspirants

Hi guys ,

What will be the tentative dates for PI of shortlisted candidates for R1 and R2 respectively based on last year trends ??

I was asked by an applicant if he can copy paste stuff from net , for similar profiles and personalize it a little.

I thought the answer to this would be relevant for all the applicant.

Answer: You will end up shooting yourself on the foot as ISB has multiple tieups with applications/ sites to catch hold of any such cases (for example: turnitin etc ) . DOnt even think of such things as these apps are super efficient. Honesty and Integrity are most important virtue at ISB.


Hi, is it alright to quote names of alum in the essay i may have recd feedback of ISB from?


I am having a couple of technical difficulties in completing the online form for PGPM round 1 for the batch of 2017.

1. I have uploaded all mandatorily required documents, but the status in the Application Inspector does not change to 'Complete'.

2. I have opted out of the scholarship (see screen shots below), but the status for Scholarship Essay shows 'Incomplete'.

The admission team has asked me to disregard it and go ahead. I am not sure. I have tried IE and Chrome, both. But in vain.

Is someone else also facing such an issue?


Please guide.

Those who are done with it, please don't wait for the last minute chaos, just submit it! (Lot of people have been asking me if they should wait for deadline..for xyz reasons)!

If you have any doubt related to application portal or if you are facing any problem with the application, immediately write to pgp@isb.edu

If you find any useful info, do post it here for the benefit of the community as many others might also be facing the same issue.

Best of luck!

(ISB Co'16)

On the official site, offer date is mentioned as March 5, 2016 and the orientation commences on April 17, 2016. Most of the companies have two months notice period with no buyout option.. So is the R2 admission a rolling process for interviews and selection? Or the selected candidates list is announced on a given particular date?

Hi guys...I have following 2 questions in the ISB application form. Please help me out.

1. I gave GMAT yesterday and have got a print out of my unofficial score report. But the report consists names of other universities as well for which I have requested GmAC to send scores. Is it ok if I scan the score report as it is which includes names of other universities and attach it in ISB application or should I scan only half page and omit the names of universities from my scanned report?

2. Application form has 1 section wherein we have to fill in details of our manager. Does ISB call them to verify any information. My Manager has no idea I am planning for ISB and I dont want him to know. how do I get out of this situation?

Please help.

Hey Guys

I just wanted to know by when can we expect interview calls for Round 1 since the deadline this year is 15th October 2015.

Thanks,

Pritesh
