@isbaspirant12 Thanks :D

It's just a verification mail though, I would love to see my interview call by this weekend :)

@him2asu haha dude..its not necesary that pagalguy username and real name should be the same.. anyways, am there in group as Priyanka ..will add u ...
@kapil_b Only if a candidate is selected, the supervisor mentioned in the app may be contacted by the ISB. And they will take your consent before contacting your supervisor. If i am not wrong it was there in application; some kind of a checkbox, asking for your consent on if your supervisor can be contacted. In my opinion, once you are selected, whther ISB contacts your manager or doesn't, will not affect your admission in anyway.
Hey guys....I had my interview on Saturday evening. Lasted for around 25 mins. It seemed more like a conversation.... no typical why mba? why isb ? or even career goal questions. Some very very specific to my profile - why transition from IT to manufacturing, why did you do IT engineering, would you like to change anything in the past, etc.

Everyone on that day at Hyderabad received the same word to write: "Reality". I dont think they even care what your write. I just scribbled something and submitted.

The campus is mind-blowing. one of the best I have ever seen or imagined.

My tip: be yourself, be relaxed and be confident

@z-potm thanks mate for sharing your experience... All the best..

Cld you share ur profile details.
@z-potm Thanks for sharing mate.. Was your's the last interview by any chance? I remember reading somewhere that a guy had the last slot for the interview and the panel members were in a hurry to leave which resulted in a very bad interview experience for him.. What are your thoughts?

Hello Gambler, Nice to see some one from same years of work-ex here else I was finding only biggies with 5+ years of experience. ATB man...:)

@raghupro not good. i am already having dreams where i see panel members totally disinterested in what i am saying.

Got my verification mail on a Sunday before New Year's eve! ISB adcom sure is working hard to get things moving. Kudos!
Hello Raghu
I too got my verification mail yesterday only...Now fingers crossed...ATB to yu too...:)

I was the second last to interview. They were in a hurry,(my interview got delayed by an hour) which can probably explain the short interview.

Having said that, I feel it was a very satisfactory interview. They did seem interested and were high on energy even after taking interviews all day along.

I forgot to mention one thing: They did not let me complete even a single answer. I dont know if they felt my answers were long or if they wanted to put some pressure. I somehow didn't seem to care and was happy they cut me short....else I would have continued to blabber......

@raghupro any mock interview discussion sessions planned this weekend?
@venkata83 Let's meet this weekend dude. Sunday 11:00AM as usual. :)

any mock interview happening in bangalore ?

This is for everyone worried about the interviews. A good article to prepare yourself to impress the interview panel :)

@atalb Just hope for the best mate.. One good thing about ISB's interview is that its more of a conversation to know about you rather than keeping it on terms of a formal interview :)

are most calls coming towards end of the week -Thursday/Friday .. or its only on Pagalguy that most of them receiving i/v calls close to weekends . If that be so, is there any point in refreshing mail box every now and then

Seems to be that way for now.
