Any news about interview calls ?

Guys still anyone remaining to get the verification mail?
Yes, I am :)
No mail, but my profile in ISB app page shows that my application is complete and verified, so I am not too bothered about verification mail as such..

Hi,

I have a few questions for ISB alums -

1. If we check the placement statistics for ISB, placements in finance function is very low - 6% only. Is there any specific reason behind this or it just so happens that majority of the intake is from IT background and most of them end up going into consulting etc. and hence very few people actually end up specializing in fin?

2. What are the designations and specific roles that people who get into finance jobs post ISB land up with? Some examples would help!

Thanks in advance!

Great man, pretty creative...I was just standing in front of camera and blabbering for 90 seconds..but kudos to you for your imagination :)
@rahulg83 thanks rahul .. then I would suggest you to bring in more creativity to your video and make it more interesting ... as to what I have heard, the interview panel shall also see the video before calling in ... make it colourful and diverse as possible ...

@singhsid I wanted to ask weather after submitting the Reco..are the recommenders contacted by ISB ovet the phone or e-mail...
By email, in fact they will just be given the link for an online tool via which they have to submit their recommendations. They will be given a set of questions which have to be answered and submitted online.

Hi, I've already submitted my apps on 10 Sep for R1...Fingers crossed now..
@ivyctor2010 and @nonchalantroy : Thank you for the replies. Ok, I will try and track down someone who can give the evaluation from the company. My work-ex is under 2 years right now and I'm thinking of quitting this job so maybe if nothing works out then next September session.

Hi Oceanic..Great video man....grt creativity.....& Rahul , I agree with you...even I balabbered for 90 secs starring at a camera

Hi Akki

I really appreciate your sharing the video essay with everyone here on the forum.
To be honest, even I had thought of sharing mine and encouraging all other R1 applicants to share theirs as well.. But then I felt that people might be hesitant to share something so personal in a public forum and kept mum.

I'm travelling at the moment, but I'll upload my video as soon as possible for the benefit of others. Meanwhile, you've done a great job man! Highly creative to say the least. I'm sure most of us couldn't dare to cross the barrier set by the formal dress code to be followed in the video.

I'm sure you'll do well!

God bless!

@sugamtaneja thanks a lot sugam for ur appreciation ... yeps I too thought that of helping others to make their video creative ... hope they do take some good points out of this ... between do upload your video ...

Anyone got calls ?

Did the people who had the status as "application complete except GMAT scores" get an e-mail from ISB in addition to the status change on ISB's application page??
