some of us (puys) will definitely be ISB alums (and may also get into adcom), so Request to get this procedure for admission changed. All calls should come at one go or if they are giving calls like this then side by side they should give rejects also. This wait is putting lot of pressure ...tired of refreshing or opening email box or going to ISB thread at pagalguy.
Hi GameIsOn. Are you mentioning the rolling calls protocol for interview calls or actual admission offers?
@nikhileshkumar , Hey... What is that guesstimate question you are talking about...

Hi Friends, I am done with my interview. Any questions are most welcome.

As all the applicants who were interviewed had a decent interview experience, ISB will use an innovative and unbiased method to give away admits this year. This method which was devised by Prometric & Pearson after loads of brainstorming is called IPP (Inky Pinky Ponky).


To nullify the element of luck, all the profiles will go through several rounds of IPP. Those profiles which are selected thrice by IPP will be given admits. (A profile can get selected once by sheer luck, you see )

Don't feel like working @ office ..Kindly bear with the crap !
@asifmohammed This is absolutely brilliant method :)
@asifmohammed wat an idea !!!
@asifmohammed I hope ISB isn't using IPP to send out interview calls as well. My luck always seems to be holding out a grudge against me :P

Was anyone here on this thread interviewed by panel # 5 in hyderabad on 19th Jan, 2013??


Please reply. It is urgent !!!
@asifmohammed lol... too good!!

the rolling calls protocol for interview calls ..It is like we are paying ISB 3000 to give us waiting stress :-)

IPP reminds me of the "Family song" in the Telugu movie "Sudigadu"
@Juris , I wonder which one of the guys were you .. I was sitting there for almost 2 hrs (2:30 - 4:30). However, I was outside the room, in the hall way (opp the water stands) chit chatting with an army guy :)

Jan 20th :Delhi :

Essay : "Sanity" ... wrote some utter crap.

Background : Finance - Actuarial Science to be specific.

Absolutely grilled by the panel...One panelist from the insurance industry. People say the ISB interviews are unlike IIM interviews. I'd say otherwise. Having got through IIMs before and having attended many IIM interviews, I can safely say that ISB does grill you about each and every aspect of your work profile and the underlying theory, in my case - actuarial science. To a large extent, it depends on your luck...the panel you get, if they are trying to put you under pressure, if they miss out on something you wanted them to talk about.

I was grilled for about 50-55 minutes....rebutted about 30% of the time...there were some good phases as well......not too optimistic about my chances. Lets see.

And now we know how a institute has come up with a brilliant plan to make sure productivity at work of 1000s is dragged to JHIROO

May be you guys can share the color of the shirt / tie to identify each other.

I was advised that if at all there is something that I want to tell the panel and they dont end up asking, say it in the end "I would want you to ask me about this" and that "this" better be your strength. :)

@mank18 I just checked the ISB application portal and the i/v dates for Mohali shows 26 - 30 Jan. I remember that earlier it was till 1 Feb. So now that the wait time has reduced by 2 days, suddenly hopes started diminishing at a faster rate. Not sure why these dates change so frequently.
hmmm.....i guess its almost over for guys from del who are still dreaming of a call.
@ankitgaurav87 : So in which Panel you were i/v'ed? I was interviewed by Panel 2. And I had the similar experience. This gives me a sigh of relief atleast smbdy else was also grilled similarly...
