Puys, i received an interview call for 7th November in Hyderabad, but i won't be available in the city for two consecutive weeks, so i was thinking to check if the date can be postponed. Now the problem is that no one is picking up calls in admission office, probably because its weekend. What shall i do now because i have to respond to the mail within 48 hours.
Hey All,
I am in peculiar situation. Thursday I got mail that my ISB application is incomplete- 10th marksheet not clear. I uploaded it yesterday and the application status turned complete today. Any idea how long will it take to process situations like this? Admission guys said that it would take 5-10 days to process.
Any input from you would be highly helpful.
Anybody from Delhi who got a call ??
Bangalore on the 8th..anybody else on this day ?
Anyone got a call for Skype Interview yet?
Anyone who got a call for interview in Mumbai?
Hw many here with unchanged application status?? I have not received feedback that my appln is complete !!
Any idea about when the skype interview calls generally start coming out? What was the trend last year? Towards the end of the interview window?
Congratulations to the first set of people who have a call for an Interview...
As requested here are some tips for the Interview:
1. The interview at ISB is a test of what you know and not what you don't . This is the difference between other schools in India and ISB.
2. By design it is supposed to test your strengths and not grill your weaknesses.
3. It is not a stress interview unless you are stressed out or get intimidated. Yes they do try to get under your skin especially if you are from the IITs or from one of the special categories.
4. Most of the questions (90%) are based on what you have put in your profile. So read your application in detail ... Not just your essays but the entire app.
5. Remember the panel gets only about 10 to 15 mins to read your profile so your application and essay quality matters.
6. Panelist know that you are not looking at ISB for NETWORKING and KNOWLEDGE but Career Progression. Be candid it helps and save yourself the trouble to camouflage your aspirations.
7. Most evaluation at the interview is aimed at finding out if you can be PLACED post ISB. This is natural. Especially people with 7 plus years of work ex need to be very clear where they see themselves after ISB and how do they plan to get there even if the Placement Team from the School cannot help.
8. Your Plan B should inspire confidence and not stress them out. Usually your long term goal is of little interest to anyone but interviewers have a tendency to ask for it so that your plan A & B can be tested. Ideally Plan A & B should lead to the same long term Goal.
9. Every MBA worth the salt wants to be an Entrepreneur in the long run. So this is a given... How you plan to bide your time getting there is the interesting part that interviewers are interested in.
10. You may want to anticipate questions but do not forget to practice your answers at mock interviews.
11. Remember the key is crispness (not sharpness) of the response.
12. It is better to give a short answer and then be probed than give a long answer that makes panelist switch off.
13. Never argue at the interview... you cannot win.
14. Last but not the least ... 7 out of 10 times you may think you aced the interview but at ISB you can still be dinged on the basis of the rest of your profile.
15. Also remember unless you practice right and get your answers validated by a pro there is no sense practicing. By doing Mock Interviews with your friends you are getting nowhere.
Wish you all the best...

Submitted application on 10th October, received completion email/status update on 16th October. Any chances the application is still not assessed? 😞
How long does the interview process last? I need this information for booking return tickets from Hyderabad.
What all things/documents are we supposed to carry for the interview?
Can we expect more Bangalore calls tomorrow ?
