  1. Do I need to upload Xth Mark sheet also? I believe, the Education Details section starts with 10+2 onwards?
  2. I have requested to submit my GMAT score to ISB on the test day(June) itself. What else to be done to re confirm it.

I must appreciate that ISB is already the best in many things.

Dear Sir,

you missed my question regarding the passport scans?

1202

Hello Ad com,

I was planning to apply to ISB in R2 this year, but due to pressing needs at the start-up where I work, I am considering applying next year.

I've already sent GMAT scores to ISB as part of the GMAT exam. Will I need to resend these scores again, next year?

Thanks a ton!

1) Class X mark sheet is necessary only in case of female applicants. Male applicants need to to upload their mark sheets from class XII onwards.

2) You need not do anything else. Once you submit your application, we will let you know about your score.

The ADCOM would like to Thank You for all your praise. We hope to keep the good work going.

Dear Mr. Menon,

Thank you for your time on this forum.

I am a female applicant and I have already submitted all necessary documents for R1. But I am curious to know why submission of Class X marksheet is necessary only for female applicants?

I look forward to your reply.

Nvivek81,

Yes, you will have to resize them to A4. Please scan your mark sheets in black & white and not in colour. Your mail regarding passport scans has been replied to.

Heroishere,

Yes, they will do a credit check through CIBIL and then process the loan. You will need a personal guarantor who is currently working to guarantee your loan. Other documents include your mark sheets, salary slips and IT returns for last 3 years.

Sir,
Would appreciate it if you can answer a couple of queries:
I am an applicant from India

1) would you rate an applicant as more desirable if they come from a sector which barely exists in India ? Semiconductor Equipment manufacturing
2) Do you look for a "critical mass" from an industry -OR if I be the only guy from this sector , would ISB look at it all the more positively? My organisation is an absolute world leader with a revenue of around 9 Bn USD.

Dear AdCom,

I understand that this questions must have been sent to you a number of times but the pre-interview doc-updates have been raising the anxiety levels of the aspirants the last week before the results.

My question would be to understand whether ISB plans to upload and update the pre-interview doc status of all candidates shortlisted for the interviews (may be 1000+) or only those who are finally selected (may be 300+).

As of now the latter is raising the anxiety of all R1 Shortlisted applicants since some people who were interviewed in Delhi on 13-14th ares still waiting for their doc status to be updated whereas some people in Mumbai / Hyderabad have got their doc status updated.

It would really help bring down the anxiety level of the aspirants if you can clarify the situation/process.

Thanks & Regards...

Chandu_v,

The average work exp of the batch at ISB is 5 years and their placements will happen during the normal placement period. We have a system of Lateral placements for those with more than 8 years of work exp. Companies are free to look at these profiles off campus and also to evaluate their applications when they come down for placements on campus. Companies with Telecom, Strategy and Product Management in IT are regular favourites here.

Admissions Team


Dear Admissions Team,
A follow-up question on that.
Is data for past years' lateral placements available separately?

Aspirant - MBA Cof 2010,

Nowhere on the website or in any communication from our end is it mentioned that the document status will be updated citywise or otherwise.

The only way to ease your anxiety is to stop reading too much between the lines and not indulge in over analysis of petty issues.
