I want to know if isb considers any sectional cutoffs in percentiles for gmat while calling candidates for interview. I have a score of 700 with 41 (94 epercentile) in VA and 44 (65 percentile) in quants.
Class X - 83%
Class XII - 80 %
Graduation : 70 % ( gold medalist in psychology)
I am honrs graduate in psychology post which I was hospitalised for around three years for cancer treatment. After getting cancer free, I worked with a public sector bank for two years in the areas of financial inclusion in remote areas of Uttar Pradesh. Post that I got through the internal exam conducted by the bank for the profile of derivatives trader and have been working as a senior currency/derivatives trader for three years now.
I also work pro bono with the support groups at various hospitals having tie ups with my bank for providing counselling to patients suffering from cancer. I am an amateur singer, and a voracious reader with various awards in extempores, debates and choreography and enjoy going on long treks.
I know its asking too much, but since I have a very untraditional pathway, it would be very helpful if I can receive some bluntly honest feedback on my chances of getting an interview call with this gmat score, acads and profile.
hi everyone! round 2 eeo applicant here.. i have a question about evaluations.. i graduated in 2015 so dont have any previous managers/directors who can give me a reco.. and of course can't ask my current manager for one 😛 ... anyone here who got selected in round 1 with an evaluation from a mentor/colleague? how much does this matter, assuming i can get a glowing reco from a senior colleague, would that be good enough? any guidance on this would be appreciated! thanks in advance 😃
Hello,
I have a query. Back in my final year I applied for the ISB YLP Program. Filled the form,and got shortlisted in the first round.
But due to non availability of my passport, couldn't appear for GMAT before the deadline date, and thus did not carry forward by application.
This year again I'll be applying for ISB. Do i come under reapplicant category, or a first time applicant?
Thanks
this query is related to the recommendations ..I wont be able to ask my current manager to give me a reco.. my previous manager gave me the reco the last time ( i am a reapplicant ).. since we need only 1 this time can i repeat my last one.. will it affect my application in any way???
Is there any good tutorial available online..in urgent neend of some good guidance.. All I have listen about is Byju, Magoosh, egmat & Crack verbal.. Please share reviews regarding them..
Is there anyone from ISB officially here. I have raised an issue for many days that I am not able to submit my application due to technical issue. I am surprised that others are not complaining about this who are applying for scholarship.
Hi everyone,

Firstly, are there any points I should be concerned about that might effect my chances of landing an interview?
Secondly, I completed my Engineering from a government university in Uttar Pradesh - Purvanchal University, secured 72% and was among the top 5 students in my class. Does graduating from a largely unknown University effect my chances to land an interview?
Lastly, please suggest what should should I mention in the optional essay in order to strengthen my profile.
Thanks
I have been working in manufacturing sector since last 5 years. However, my major interest lies in web development. In my free time, I have developed a few apps and websites. Now I want to switch my job from manufacturing to an internet based company.
Is ISB Mba a suitable option for me ? In the essays, If I write my honest future goal which has zero professional experience to support and which is purely based on the interest, will it jeopardize my admission chances ?
I am seeking the recommendation from my manager of previous company. He has shifted to a new organization now( It's a startup) and he does have an official email ID there.
Would it be a problem if I provide this new mail ID for evaluation purposes?
