ISB is creating such a chaos.. I called up, they told me the calls are over.

Congrats vj_2kool & others who got an invite. Can you please share your app number(new one) and also profile! I am also an international applicant with not so good profile:

650
8 years IT (worked with really big clients)
Very good extra currics
My app number is 4***.

One more thing - who are planning to apply/applied to IIML, Xlri gmp?

Crack it guys! All the best! My turn for headbangs for ISB
@vix23 True... but I will stay optimistic...

One more question guys, how does this wait list stuff work? What happens to people who are wait listed? Do they get a chance to say something?

Hi friends,


This is my profile:

BTech 7.2 cgpa, 12th 87%, 10th 90%
2yrs 7 mnth of IT experience

So what will be the ideal GMAT score for me to get an interview call from ISB ?

Please suggest.

NO MORE CALLS??? Are you serious! Ive barely seen any HYD(HYD) calls!

i had my interview today...Mr kannan was in the panel & one other guy i guess some old profs...they asked me about my IIT rank, current profile based questions, asked me to explain the business strategy & then they gave me an consulatant based case scenario to solve...i indicated my future goal to be a consultant...they asked me how i came to hyd...i replied by flight & then took a taxi...they asked me to determine the parking lot for hyd airport...here is wat i did .." take 4 hours in the morning & late evening reserved for business purposes & allot per hour 50 flights taking off & landing with a seating capacity of 240. i took total 16 hours in a day for the hyd airport for the case & said other hours can be rationlise based on this assumption, so from 6am to 10 pm, total 8 hours- with 50 flights, & for remining hours a downtime in traffic with 25 flights...calculated 86,000 people at the airport per day...for them 70% of the people with a rental arrangment already made at the airport & for each vehicle 5X5 mtr space for parking lot....Mr Kannan said i missed one basic fundamental here...i asked i feel so, sir can u pl enlighten me ..he said for rental u dont need parking space, it will be mainly drop & go...i said i beg to differ as in Chennai rental do have parking lot...he said ok but then multiply ur final figure by 0.5...so i did smiling....& they asked me if i want to ask something...i asked regaridng the increased batch size & the probability of dilution in the focus per batch size & brand value due to Mohali campus...he said no wharton & harvard has much bigger batch size & for my latter part of the question they replied there is one inst that has 2 campuses & they both rank in top 10, he asked me if i know..i said yes..INSEAD...he said pronounce it correctly...& he asked me if i know any other inst...i said no i know only INSEAD...he said NY stern....i said ok...gud for me ....:)...no question on y MBA, y i got rejected last 2 times...how i my profile has changed nothing...they just asked very selective questions....i dont know what to expect...but i cross checked with the guys in Adcom...result will be out by 15th Nov....so best of luck Puys....njoy...

@anudale Hello I am Anu and I have the interview call on skype in the next few days. What was your interview experience like? Were you asked to speak on word or a topic to start with? What was your background? Please share your interview experience.

i wrote above one in one go without any proof read sitting at the airport..so pl excuse any grammatical mistakes...a few of which i could see right away :)...

@ankur783 , can you let us know about your app number change? Did it change only today?

Had to reschedule my Skype interview from Nov. 7 as I am out on a business trip. Interestingly, they gave me Nov. 12 slot
