ISB Class of 2014 aspirants.

Hi Puys, my evaluator has not fully written upto 100 or 200 words. will that be a concern? they have provided the info but very briefly.

@MissWorld

3 words: Quality over quantity. If you feel that they have written well and you are happy with it, then dont worry about no. of words. Anyways you can't change anything now. There will be many more applicants with the same case and adcom understands these things. ATB.

I have been shooting the video essay since 3 pm. Havent been able to get past 50 sec. More than 100 takes and not a single good video I am now going to memorize the whole thing and try again. Its so weird to watch yourself speak.

Hi Puys,

I have a question regarding incomplete education.
I joined IT BHU and then got through IIT. So, left ITBHU after a year.
In the additional education section, I see that there is an option that says "Under progress", which I dont think is right to say.
Where should I mention it in the application? Please suggest.

Puys, one question. What does Interview location HYD(MUM), HYD(BGL), etc represents??

Whether Interviews will be conducted in Mumbai, Bangalore,etc..Or Candidates have to come to Hyderabad.

Pls confirm.

@vbinani
Hi. The place for that would be the 3rd essay. Instructions say tht if you changed institutes or univs then u have to explain in the 3rd essay.
@Die_Hard5
According to a previous R1 post here, it means that in most probability the interviews will be conducted at Hyd. But if there are enough no. of MUM, BGL, etc candidates then their interviews "might" be conducted at those locations. But I can't confirm this. Just something I read. Makes sense though.
@Die_Hard5 Hyd(Mum); Hyd (Blr) etc means that these candidates are from Mumbai/Blr respectively and are being interviewed at Hyderabad. Hyderabad is the only interview location for south/west and there is no other location where interviews are conducted. Interviews are also conducted in Kolkata, Mohali and Delhi for candidates from these location

@srm85 Thanks buddy.

Hi, although it is true, interviews have been conducted in Mumbai and Bangalore in the past.

Hi Guys


I have shot my video and it comes to around 1 min 6 secs. Do you think this is going to be a problem?
@panks_delhi thanks
@srm85 Thanks Mate..lets see how things go..
@skepticsaint As long as you are communicating your thoughts effectively and articulating it making an impact, I think even lesser time video (1 min 6 sec) should not be a problem. In fact, it is a challenge to put across your message in less time. :)

Any idea approx how many offers were made and accepted in R1? This year ISB is planning to offer 770 seats, so it would be nice to know how many vacancies are left for R2.

Can someone tell me what is the cut-off date for ISB to receive evaluations from the evaluators. The website says it's the application deadline whereas the email says that it's 5th December, 2012. Which one is correct?
