Hello Kannan sir ,
I gave GMAT twice and have scored higher in the first attempt . So while filling in the application I have given the appointment number of the higher GMAT .. My query is I have requested Pearson to send ISB the latest GMAT as it will anyway contain the old ( higher) GMAT score as well . Will this is problem of GMAT appointment number mismatch between application and official GMAT score card ? Do I need to request Pearson to send the older GMAT score as well ?
Thanks for your reply

A-4 and black and white preferably. If you cannot get hold of it, you may go with colored.

Please fill in the appointment number of the recent exam, as it will carry previous scores also.
Hi Mr Kannan,
Thanks for the earlier reply.
My application is at final stage. But now I am facing a problem with my video. Size of my video is 15.8 MB. I have uploaded the video to application and the status is successful. But the instructions specify that the video should be 90 Sec/ 15 MB. My doubt is that will the remaining 0.8 MB will be truncated? I have tried to reduce the size of the video but this is also reducing the clarity of the video.
Thank you

Since you have uploaded successfully, it has been accepted by us in present size. We shall view it in its entirety.
Hello Mr Kannan & Team,
Thanks for offering this Q&A; feature. Below are my questions.
1. What is the typical NRI proportion in the applicant pool and the class.
2. Does it affect the ad-com's decision if my entrepreneurial aspirations are not related to the academic or professional experience I have gained so far?
Thanks for your responses.
Dear Sir,
The application is asking for the details of the person to whom I report t- email id and phone number. I want to keep the application process confidential to my current supervisor because of obvious reasons. I am getting my recommendations from my previous, long time supervisor, who has very recently moved to another project.
I want to know if the details I enter in "person you report to" column will be used and he will mailed or called before my admission call. I am OK, if my supervisor is called for cross verification after my admission call. This is very important to me in my career both ways. Kindly confirm the procedure followed by ISB.
Thanks,
Saai

While we do have students who have been NRIs at some time in their careers/personal lives, we do not track NRIs separately. You can view some of our class stats here: http://www.isb.edu/pgp/ClassProfile.Shtml Please note that none of the stats imply any kind of quota.
If your business plan displays rigour from a fundamentals perspective and we can understand the strength of your desire to bring those plans to fruition, that is sufficient for us. Same also applies for those planning a career change in the future.
Hi Mr Kannan & Team,
I am an engineer with 3 years of experience in IT industry and more than 2 years of part time work in NGO.
1. I have an option of asking for both recommendations from my company, or ask for one from my company and other from the NGO I have been associated with. Which is preferable. Or should I include all 3 of them requesting for an additional recommender ?
2. I am skeptical about the content of the Video to be uploaded. Can you give any example siting what actually is expected from the candidates in this video ?
3. My engineering scores are average. What can I do to overcome the same. Many websites recommend to do courses out of college to foster one's skills on particulalry weak sections. Do you suggest applicants do the same ?

We require two recommendations - no more than two and no fewer than two. These can be from your immediate supervisors - both at work &/or at the NGO you are working with. Please make sure you include at least one from your current/past work supervisors.
Video Essay:
We cannot provide an example for the video essay as that will most likely bias the audience towards one or more formats or content types. The video essay is meant to assess your communication abilities in person. Please feel free to interpret the question in a manner that enables you to present us with a complete picture of your personality, interests and way of thinking.
At ISB we believe people succeed because of their strengths. Don't dwell too much on areas that you cannot change in the past - such as your academic scores. Your GMAT scores and academic scores give us an understanding of your academic capacity i.e., whether you can handle the academic intensity of our PGP. Take time to think over your essays and other application components to make a comprehensive case for why you have succeeded in the past, how you are much more than the sum of your academic & other test-scores and how your life & work experiences have shaped your future plans.
Mr. Kannan
First of all i would like to thank you and your team for satiating queries of aspirants like me.
I had planned to apply in R1 and had confirmed my evaluators.But at this point of time i feel a little under-prepared for applying in R1 and want to apply in R2.My evaluators had been asked to submit their response before R1 deadline.Does this deadline automatically shift to R2 if they do not submit their evaluation response and i do not submit the app by R1 deadline or will i have to create a new login for R2???

You can use same login details for R2. Your evaluators can send their response to suit your application R2 timeline.
Thank you for your kind comments.
Sir I have exactly the same issue. My Regional Manager has been transferred to Kolkata recently, under whom I had worked for 21 months. I do not want to involve my current RM, even after the admission process. Can I provide the contact number & name of previous ones??
My 2nd question is when is the interview call expected in case of R2, I have to appear for an examination in December end, so will decide accordingly, as per the interview dates.
Thanks
Laxmi
@ISB.Admissions said:If necessary your supervisor would be called AFTER admission for employment verification purposes. Only those who are writing your evaluations shall be contacted during the admission process.
@[141361:ISB.Admissions] Dear Sir, first of all I really appreciate you taking the time to reply to our queries in such detail. I wanted to confirm that I understand your reply to the previous post correctly. My evaluators have received an email from ISB which has a link to the evaluation questions and which also states that the evaluations are due by Sep 15th. If I understand your response correctly, then I can request my evaluators to use the same link even if I am a potential R2 applicant and in that case they are required to submit the evaluations only after Sep 15th and before Nov 30th. Your reply will be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely.

Sir, will the interview calls be on rollover basis, i.e., will it depend on the date of submission of application or all the applications will be treated at par after Nov 30 & applicants will be called for interview?????
