Hi. I believe class is starting from 16th April. When is it advisable to reach the campus? I want to specifically know whether I ll get accommodation if I reach campus on 15th morning. Thanks!
This is a very generic query. Probably current students of the college can give some genuine answers. The economy is completely on a downturn, globally and nationally. Job cuts are scaling higher, be it any industry. 2016 is already being called a year of lows. Is it advisable to go for mba this year considering all this?
Could anyone please provide me the approx number of students who have been selected in first round of admissions at ISB?

Hi, wanted to know if ISB sends an email to the applicant immediately after the evaluator submits the evaluation in the online portal? My evaluator has submitted my evaluation today morning, but I haven't received any email till now. Please help.
We have to send the gmat score to ISB after it gets generated at the test centre, with the provided code. Does the sending of scores happen right after we are able to see our score?
Hi All,
I have a clarification on the evaluator submission. I am working on my essays. Meanwhile can i ask my evaluator to complete his evaluation? Does my application freeze if I send the request to evaluator? How does it work?
Hi!
I know it's a long post but I am in a major bind here. I would really appreciate your inputs especially from anyone currently studying at ISB. Even those who are applying please don't hesitate from giving your valuable inputs.
First, a gist of my present situation. I am a first year student in a top 20 b school in India (ranked between 15-20). Have a gmat score of 730 (August 2014 score) and work ex of 45 months in a multinational manufacturing firm. I could not apply to ISB last time coz I missed the deadline. Since most b schools in India don't prefer candidates with more than 4 years of experience I decided to go for MBA in 2015 itself and ended up coming here (didn't want to risk it all for ISB and didn't have the means to study abroad). But the situation here is not very good. The batch size is large and although most seniors are placed by now the median and average salaries have taken a hit (I don't think the median would be more than 10 lpa). Also, most of my peers are freshers and peer to peer learning is close to 0. Most renowned companies visit campus with a mindset of hiring students with less work ex especially in case of summer placements. Also, consultancy firms mostly come for tech consultancy functions (ERP development). The same firms hire high work ex people from colleges like ISB. Due to these reasons I want to apply to ISB. Have already written my essay and will be submitting the form soon. But I am still a little hesitant as to what should I do?
My questions are: 1.How sound is my decision to switch schools at this juncture? Both career wise and money wise(Have paid around 8 lakhs fees for 1st year here).
2.Are most people at ISB placed at good salaries and with good profiles (am mostly interested in operations profile in consulting/e commerce/startup firms) ? or are the average and median salaries high because a handful of students bag very high salary jobs.
3.High batch strength is a major disadvantage (I have a first hand experience by now !). Does the high batch strength not effect the placement quality at ISB?
4. Although my work experience is too high by my present b school's standards, by ISB standards it will be on the lower side. Will that be a disadvantage over there coz most companies visit the campus with the intention of hiring industry ready professionals?
I know that's a lot of questions for a single post but my situation here is equally perplexing. So please feel free to give your two cents on this issue. Thanks a lot guys!
Anyone who can help me in reviewing my essays & giving a feedback ?
Thanx in Advance
Hi...Does ISB send feedback mails to persons who were rejected in the first round ? I kind of had an okay profile and so was not able to understand where I faltered.
