Am In!
So folks you all have started with the applications? Also, which score you all are reporting - CAT/XAT/GMAT? If GMAT, when are you all planning to give it?
I have a query - after submitting my application, do they give interview calls before I submit my scores or how is it?

I had 4 years 11 Months of exeperience when I applied last time and infact got an interview call but could not get through .

So if you have 2-3 months short of 5 years exeprience and have a strong profile , You should go ahead and apply for it. But for any thing less than that , You should wait for next year .

@kimi.raj So,sometimes there are exceptions.Not always . What is the avg GMAT score of the class.Any idea
14

@GMAT_Conquer

Yes there are always. About Avg GMAT Score I have no idea . But somewhere I had read ( don't remember exactly where ) , You should have atleast 650 to stand a chance . But again it all depends on your profile.

It's like If you are Dhoni , they will defintely give you a call even if you score 000 in GMAT . 😁

I hope you got the point :)

Hi,

You stand a strong chance in ISB and other top b-school. With 7+ yrs. of work experience & international exposure, you are in a perfect stage of your career which most of the b-schools look for. You have lot to say about team leadership qualities and achievements at work place in your application essays.

I would suggest you to target ISB and other b-school in early rounds to strengthen your probabilities of scholarships.

Let me know in case of other queries. You can PM your number to discuss over your profile or selection of b-schools.

Regards,
Maya

@kimi.raj Please share your last year's interview experience.

@rahulkumar1985

Interview was quite chilled. They had two rounds of Group interviews. The first round was about your profile , why mba ? and why should we take you ? kind of questions.

The second round was on value systems where we were asked about our views on a situation where we had to take a particular decision on based of our values.

There was no stress interview and it was quite cool. It was so cool that i never figured out why I was not selected ? 😁

Jokes apart , I had a feeling that they were giving lot of importance to Profile. And I had two things which could have worked against me. First my work ex of 4 Years 11 Months and secondly I had zero international experience while most of the peoplewho had applied for Information Management had atleast some international experience under their belt
