[2012] Ask ISB Hyderabad/Mohali: Admissions Director AM Kannan answers admission-related questions

Sir,
I have finished my Btech and I am working in an IT company. At present I am undergoing one year training, will the training be counted for work experience?
Thank you
Full time work experience after your degree is considered as relevant work experience. Since your training period seems to be part of your full time employment and begins after the completion of your degree, it appears that you meet the criteria for your current role to be considered as full time workex, provided you are a full time paid employee. For application to join ISB's PGP in 2013 you should calculate your workex as on 31st March 2013.
@ISB.Admissions Thanks for the detailed explanation. In case the evaluator knows me well (because he/she has worked with me), but his/her performance may not be directly imacted by mine (he/she is higher in designation), does it mean that such recommendation would be not considered?

Dear Sir,

My recommender has not received an email for evaluation from ISB although i have received one saying that a mail has been sent to him. I have checked and the email id that i provided is correct. Is there anything that can be done. Would it be possible to resend the evaluation email to my recommender.

regards

Shreya

Sir,

My offline evaluator has sent a recommendation by courier. Courier tracking tool says it is received by ISB's mailer room. But it is not yet uploaded and I haven't got notification from ISB about the same. It was delivered on 13 September 1:30 PM.

Sir, how much time it generally takes since delivery of offline evaluation to upload of the same?

Also, how does ISB co-relate offline evaluations with application - I believe thats by using name because I did not have application reference number until I submitted it.

A colleague can provide an evaluation. We understand that in such cases they have not managed your performance. Their objective perspective is given due consideration and does not put you at any disadvantage.

Don't worry about the upload as it seems the courier has been received. You can contact App help to confirm this. We receive large volume of mail and online transactions at this time of year. Yes we will use both your identification and that of your recommender to file your evaluation.

Hi Sir.. I'm having trouble submitting the application. When i select the payment gateway and click on continue, some java scrip error page is being thrown up for all the payment options.

As a result, i'm unable to submit my application. With tonight being the deadline for R1, i'm a little worried if i might miss the deadline. Please provide any information on this as to when this might be resolved. I tried calling up the helpline numbers but the person was not very convincing with the reply.

Are there others who are facing a simililar issue?

@ISB.Admissions Thanks very much for the response. So, I can choose a colleague or even a manager (I report to team lead who in turn reports to manager).

Hello Sir,

Trust you are doing good !!
My downloaded PDF application post submission says my full time experience is 5.4 years. I have been working since Dec 2004 and it comes to 8 yrs experience till March 2013. I believe it has omitted my work experience done along with my other professional courses such as Cost Accountancy , CMA and CVA. I have already written it to pgp admissions, such wanted to bring to your notice as well and get some suggestion.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Hello @ISB.Admissions ,
Generally how many students apply in year (R1 & R2).
What was the lowest GMAT score last year?
Regards

Approximately same numbers apply each round. While it is mandatory to take the GMAT, there are no GMAT cut-offs or any other cut-offs whatsoever for admission to ISB's PGP. Candidates with 600 and lower GMAT scores have also made it to the class. We look at your application holistically, as there are several critical candidate attributes such as leadership potential, clarity of purpose and ability to contribute to the class that are not captured in standardized test-scores but otherwise are vital ingredients for a strong MBA candidate.
Now I am doing my Company Secretary 15 Months Management Training as full time Employee, but I have not Completed my Company Secretary Final. But I have completed my B.Com, will my workex considered for getting admitted to ISB. Will it be part of my 2 years work experience ???
