ISB Class of 2014 aspirants.

@BharatG You are right.. But why I asked you abt the panel mix is because most of us are speculating that the sequence of i/v call depends upon the availability of the panel members who have some relation to the profile of the candidate getting interviewed... Its just a speculation... and probably difficult to validate also.. :)
@BharatG Thanks for sharing your interview experience. Are you a R1 applicant waitlisted for an interview?
@raghupro Yes and not the only one. I met another one of my species before my interview ;)
@RexGMAT I try to stay away from gauging trends and patterns πŸ˜‰ I don't find it worth spending time on. And strange things happen defying all trends. Good luck, buddy !

Btw if anyone wants to discuss anything, you can call me at 9036134353. I am not sure if I can answer all your questions though.
@BharatG thank you and all the best!
@BharatG Will definitely give you a call once I get short listed for the interview :D

If anyone from HYD(BLR) gets interview invite, please report... πŸ˜ƒ

Anyone for Kolkata location received an interview invite for R2?


Hi Puys,

Has anyone got interview call for Kolkata?

The interview dates for Kolkata center are 12-13th Jan, 2013. As per the statement published in ISB's website on the application status page, the intimation for interview call will be issued 5 -7 days before the interview date. I guess we need to wait for the new year to begin πŸ˜ƒ

@raghupro I got a similar acknowledgement email after explaining the gap. Has your app status changed?
@MissWorld Nope, not yet. When did you receive your acknowledgement email? I am expecting a status update by this weekend. Hope I begin my new year with good news :D

@abyroy yes, I saw the link. So, the tentative dates should be around 5-6th Jan. Test of patience....

@raghupro I replied this morning and received that email instantly within 10 min. I agree with you. the status update would be quicker. let's hope for the best :)
@arkas Hi. Am also waiting for i/v call at Kol center. r u from Kol?

Hey, can any puys help me with what is expected from the one word essay before the interview? What are they trying to gauge?

@punters11 They want to check whether you have written the essays yourself. So they will be looking at the words you use and your writing style. They also look at your thought process. How do you organise your thoughts on paper and write coherently on an abstract topic.
@punters11 Here is a link to one word essay topics maintained by @raghupro

@srm85 so basically, they are checking for extent of vocabulary, grammer and coherent ideas written in an organized fashion
@raghupro can u sort the list alphabetically? It will be easier to refer
