What about Delhi Interviews? Any dates finalised dates yet. .. going thru the thread i cud find 21,22,23Nov...
Any calls for Kolkata??
Has anyone from Delhi received their interview calls??
At the MBA interview you will most probably be asked a ' Tell me something about yourself?' kind of question. It is thus a good idea to keep a crisp introduction ready. Tip: Don't start your intro by saying 'Myself Anirban Choudhary from Bhusaval.' #MBAconsulting

There is a link in application portal which asks to upload transcripts. When I click that it shows the transcripts as already uploaded. Do we need to again upload the same? Does anyone facing the same situation ??

Did anyone from Chennai got calls..?...I gave my preferred interview location as Bangalore.
Hello, I submitted my application form on 14th Oct, got the application status changed to verified and complete on 30th oct, but have not received an interview call still. My interview location preference was Hyderabad. I see that many folks have started getting interview calls for Hyderabad. Is there anyone in similar situation like me? Just trying to understand how long it will take more to know if one will get shortlisted for interview or not..
Hey guys! Any candidates received calls today? I read a couple of consultants and mentors posted that calls were received but has anyone personally received calls today?

Dug deep into my dairy from ISB days yesterday and found something in my notes from a workshop for ISB interviews conducted before the Interviews started at the ISB that year(2007).
"The Pre Assessment Test will be administered to all Candidate called for interview. It will be used to check language consistence in both spellings and grammar between the Application Essays and the lines written before the interview. Each candidate will be given this Spot Essay Topic on reporting to the Admissions Reception. This essay will be marked on a scale of 10 if required and the score added to the pool from where the Personality Score is calculated."
"Skype candidates will be given this 'TERM' up front and given 2 mins to think about it. They should be told they can use a pen and paper to jot down their thoughts but not surf the internet. They will have to speak on the topic extempore after that for around 30 secs. To check spellings the interviewers make ask spellings of up to a max of two words from what the candidate spoke."
Thankfully the spelling thing was never implemented. Love the McKenzie way of doing things...
The advice part
Re posting for @142857 and other ppl wanting tips on the Pre Assessment Test or the Spot Essay or the One Word Essay:
Tip for people who are going to have the interview in person: Remember to write in clean legible handwriting keeping your Spellings and Grammar Correct.
Tip for people who are going to have the interview over Skype/Telephone: Last year people interviewed over Skype were not assessed on this parameter however if the school begins the practice again... Concentrate and speak good correct English with out pauses and other kinds of stuttering.
They are not checking for you creativity so do not worry this is not a Copy Test. Just keep you English correct ... is that so difficult... And yes this is graded but all so slightly so do not worry.
Wish you all the best!
