ISB Class of 2014 aspirants.

Hi puys!


First interview call this season - ISB, R2 applicant, at Delhi, 17th January. #WhooHoo!
Guys planning the mock interview session at Delhi, if you aren't full already, could you please PM me the details?
@ElonMusk @mind_killer @agent717 and everyone else in Delhi?

@smarep What do you mean add you too

This is a list of Hyd (Mum) people who have got the invites until now. It's one of the many attempts to keep the forum active. And you never know what other life changing conclusions one might draw once this gets long enough. Now help yourself dude


@atalb what's a troll alert?? I have get used to this lingo...

@punters11 Oh what I said was a light hearted comment . Anyway, Trolling is kind of digressing from the topic and commenting/presenting opinions about something unrelated to the forum. @raghupro can add more ;)

Since I've been getting queries regarding my interview experience, I'll add a few more points for those who are yet to appear for their interviews.

Firstly be really really thorough with every single point you mention in your essays. Read through them multiple times and ask some friend to pick a random topic from it and ask you questions. For eg. if you had mentioned any quotes in any of the essays make sure you know who wrote it and be ready to answer a few questions around it. I mentioned a quote from Atlas Shrugged and I was labeled 'philosophical' by one of my interviewers. After that we had a couple of minutes talk around that.
Second thing is to be very clear about your career goals. Do your research, talk to people in the industry you want to get into if you are a career shifter and most importantly, make sure your goals are realistic. You should be back up each of your answers with supporting evidence.
Also be ready with examples of failures, achievements, ethical or conflicting situations at your workplace and how you deal with it.
Last but not the least, do your research about the college, the companies recruiting there, clubs you would like to join etc. Also think of one or two good questions to ask them in the end. Not something you find everywhere in the internet but something that has do do with your life at ISB.
All the best to all of you and feel free to reach out if you have any further questions!!!

Also they have a wonderful campus and friendly people... so reach a little early for your interview and talk to a few students before the interview if possible. That will help you calm your nerves and give you some insight as well.

any one else in Delhi got a call yet?

@udyansharma
Mechanical Engr with 3 yrs in automobile industry, decent ECs, GMAT 680.

Interview went on for 25-30 minutes. They basically asked me my current job role, main responsibilities, difficulties faced, how do i overcome them then they asked few questions asking me to substantiate my essays, few questions on ECs.
Wat after ISB? wat companies?
Thats pretty much it.

@megha31 even I am also confused whether the calls are not out yet for delhi or the candidates sre silent abt the calls..
@isbaspirant12 assuming its as per the shared schedule, i guess they are being made.

Hi all:
I have my interview on 19th HYD(MUM).
My profile:
710 GMAT
30 months workex in IT
Decent ECs.
Have a few queries regarding interview process.
1)They have mentioned in their mail that we need not bring any documents except the printout of the e mail. Then how and when will they have a look at our ECs certificates. We have not even sent the ECs certificate with the application form.
2)People are also talking on the forum about one worded essay topics. How much time do they give for the essay and what is the length do they expect or do we have to speak on that word for sometime.
3)What was the interview mainly centered around.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
All the best.
@infin1ty
1) Don't worry abt proving ur ECs they will figure out in ur essays and the interview.
2) There is no specific time but u are expected to get it done in 15-20 mins. It is a 50-100 word essay on a sheet of paper that they provide.
3) The interview will be focused around your work and the achievements mentioned in the essays.
