Hi All
Any leads for interviews in Mohali?
I chose Mohali as my interview location. No call yet. Should I be worried?
So anybody from oil and gas/Petrochemicals field done with the interviews? How did it go?
HI. Received interview call scheduled on 28th in Mumbai. Can anyone please help me with some interview tips.
how many delhi applicants may be invited to hyd/mohali for r1. Is this number substantial?
Still waiting for Skype interview call.@Llewellyn75 sir: Do you think
there are more Skype calls pending? I have 6 yrs of experience and 730 GMAT. I have been waiting patiently but now the wait is becoming very difficult. Anyone else still waiting for a Skype call?
Interviews are left to be held in any other cities apart from Mumbai/Hyd/Mohali???
when is the last call for Mumbai interviews? is there any possibility of getting calls post the last date?
anyone know the typical trend wrt candidates with 9+ years of experience in terms of who interviews them and where? is it mostly alumni or faculty?

Profile : 3 years,Technology Consulting. GMAT 710.
Received interview call for 29th Nov 12:15. 😃

Yipeee.... finally, got the call..28th nov, mumbai... :)
are people who dont have their current location as mumbai also getting mumbai calls?
I had my skype interview on Nov 15 (Reapplicant)
Panel 5 (2 alums I think because they did not introduce themselves and I never got a chance to ask them)
They started by asking me about my current company. Then specific details about essay 1 and my job responsibilities. Then I was asked about my hobbies and THE END. Whole interview went for just 15 minutes.
Are any questions asked in the interviews which are related to some specific points mentioned in the evaluation ?
Hi....anybody in panel 4 for interview in Mumbai on 29th November ?
Reposting on request...
Congratulations to the people who have a call for an 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...
I live for a 'Like' from you and if you want more 'Follow'
