Indian School of Business - ISB Hyderabad Admission 2023 | Placements | Current Student Network

How often does ISB call candidates to other locations (Mohali or Hyderabad, maybe)?

Hello Friends,

I was going through last year's ISB thread. I found that so many people had written that they got interview calls when compared to this year's thread. I am getting anxious. Is it just people in this year's thread are not that active or is there a possibility of reduction in number of intake this year? What do you think?


Note: I am not spreading any rumor here because even I am in the same boat as you are. Its just the feeling I got after going through last year's thread for November. 


Any mumbai calls yet ?


I read last year people got a unique word to write about befor the interview?How much time were they given? Is it same this year?Is it a standard process ?

Any EEO applicants attend the interview last weekend? My interview is scheduled for Nov 11th. I got the interview call mail at 9PM last night and am entirely lost on what exactly to prepare with just a day to go (Brushed up on my resume today) 

Any advice (even from non EEO applicants) is welcome and much appreciated! 

Is it a general practice by other global instts to send interview invites every week or its just ISB's way of building up the anxiety and momentum till the d-day! IIMs may soon follow this trend! You never know!


Can we have a poll of number of people interviewed or called for interview so far in R1, irrespective of the location? I hope maximum users in this forum vote. Thanks!

Interview : 

At the very start they gave me a role play question on how can amazon enter into a new vertical say Education(B2B Ecommerce background) some back n forth questions on it and some on work profile. Nothing muchon why isb, why should we select u, strengths or weaknesses. No current affairs at all. 

It depends on the panel some of the others dint have any cross questioning at all. Just questions on their profile. 

Interview panel comprised of 3 people - 2 Alumni, 1 Adcom/Professor.

Interview was more about my work profile and my professional goals/achievements. There was also the usual why MBA, why ISB sort of questions. Didn't ask any technical questions. There was some cross-questioning but they did not make it a stress interview. Lasted about 30 minutes.


Did you get an interview call for EEO?
