Hi , i have few things to ask on the video essay. 1.does one have to be dressed in business formals? 2.how creative can one be int he video?3. can one move places or be stationed at one plce? 4.if i say life to be is xx and give examples to elaborate on that -is that good? or is better to say life is xx, yy and zz..but no examples.
Not necessary to be be in formals - smart casuals are also fine. Please feel free to be creative if you need to so as to get your message across. Structure and content wise too, we leave it to you to choose a format that best conveys/clarifies your message and thought process.
Primary purpose of the video essay is to gauge your communication skills - period.

@ISB.Admissions Shouldn't there be a separate section to include the authored papers ?.... i have about 5 of them ....essays have word limits...One option would be to select the best ones but that wont solve the purpose .

@ISB.Admissions Dear Sir, I am a R1 Admit and am allotted Mohali campus. Is there any possibility to change the campus to Hyderabad. Though, i have already confirmed my participation for the program, just wanted to explore the possibility, mainly due to better job prospects at Hyderabad for my spouse.
Thanks.

@ISB.Admissions

I have submitted my application and later realized that the documents uploaded are not exactly according to the specifications mentioned by ISB.For example I have uploaded documents having images of 100 dpi whereas ISB specified the dpi to be 200. Similary I uploaded the documents which have been scanned in colour whereas black and white was specified.

Can ISB reject my application solely on this basis ?

@ISB.Admissions

Sir,

I took my GMAT on 20th Nov and expecting my scores to be reported to ISB by 7-8 Dec. The problem is that ISB application form requires my AWA and IR score too, the same won't be available by 30th Nov (which is the deadline).
Will I able allowed to put these scores after the deadline ? or Anything else I need do in this respect. Do let me know.

Also please confirm me the deadline date for recommendation submission by evaluators



Thanks,

Please wait to hear from us in case you need to resubmit these. No, the application will not be rejected due to such reasons.

Please upload your unofficial test centre scores. You don't have to worry about when we receive the official scores. For AWA, IR enter a dummy figure - we shall update this once the official scores are received.

Yes, other people can be part of the video essay. However, focus of essay should be on you and what you speak.
PDF of any dpi is ok, so long as it is legible.

I have advised our app help team. They have assured me that this will be attended to although due to volumes they are working through will mean that it may take a few days for them to revert to you.
In case you do not hear back in 2 weeks from your email, please write or call them at (040)2318-7472.
