How I Made It To ISB Hyderabad | Admissions Process, Interview Experience Ft. Saloni Doshi, ISB Alum

ISB Hyderabad is one of the top b schools, not only in the country but also in the world. With a single-year course offered at ISB, it is a much-desired school for many working professionals seeking an MBA. So what does it take to get into ISB? How do you go about the interview processes? Did you know that there are 3 essays that you have to write as part of the selection process there? Well, don’t you worry, we have for you today a video featuring Ms. Saloni Doshi, an alum of ISB Hyderabad, who speaks at length about her selection process. Saloni is a Chartered Accountant who has done her B.Com from NM College, Mumbai and is currently working in Birla Estate as a Senior Manager.
In this video, Saloni begins with talking about her GMAT prep, and how she made use of her CAT prep for the same. Moving on to ISB, she talks of the 3 essays that she had to write, and how she went about it with the help of an ISB alum. Then, she talks of her interview process, what kind of questions she was asked and how she answered each of them. She even talks about how she prepared herself for the interview, and why she thinks she managed to crack it. If you are looking to get into ISB Hyderabad, then this video is for you!
Key Takeaways:
1. CAT prep and GMAT prep are somewhat similar. One can help you with the other.
2. ISB is seen as a b school for working professionals as their MBA program lasts only 1 year.
3. Part of the selection process, you are expected to write 3 essays. They are as follows: 1) Where do you stand when compared to the other candidates? 2) How can ISB help you achieve your goals? 3) Your biggest achievement
4. A lot of the international b schools have essays as part of their selection processes. Many of them are similar to the ones mentioned above. So, with a bit of tweaking, you can reuse your essays.
5. The interviewers are there to judge whether or not you’re a good fit for ISB. They are there to select you, not reject you.
6. The interviewers might ask questions to test your professional ethics.
7. You must know your work thoroughly and should be able to explain it in simple terms. That is what they expect of you during your interview.

Her 10/12/UG scores?

[@aashwinchadha1089]

I don't know why she is saying that having 2 years of experience is a disadvantage for going to an iim... It is surely a great deal to get a gmat score of that magnitude but spending almost 45 lacs on an MBA is just too too much for most students be it a fresher or experienced alike

Because she couldn't get a cat score😂😂😂😂😂

@@Riuytfhjklf4634 may be u are right but I would still say IBS is loosing its value coz it has 900 as its batch size and no one in India can get a batch placed with that size and a median salary improvement year on year.
