ISB looks for 3 things<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Academic credentials<\/li><li>Leadership Potential<\/li><li>Personal Attributes<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"9-academic-credentials-\"><strong>Academic credentials<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>They include the grades you earned for senior secondary school, Bachelor\u2019s degree, post-graduation degree (if any), and certification courses (if any) along with GMAT scores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"10-leadership-potential-\"><strong>Leadership potential<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>ISB like every top business school aims to groom future leaders. What they need to see is the potential in you. Let me give you an example of Stanford MBA\u2019s definition on the topic. It says, \u201cPast actions usually are the best predictor of future behavior.\u201d Therefore, it looks for examples of leadership qualities in your personal or professional life. Your resume and letters of recommendation are the best indicators of leadership potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"11-personal-attributes-\"><strong>Personal Attributes<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from how well you have done in the professional arena, ISB wants to know what makes you \u2018tick\u2019. Who are you when you are not working? What perspectives do you have about the world? The purpose is to know you personally and decide the uniqueness of your perspectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>So, what do these 3 expectations of ISB actually mean?<\/strong> The best people to answer these are the admissions officers themselves. The best way to have a conversation with them is to attend the information sessions conducted by ISB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"12-step-5-attend-isb-admission-events-how-to-get-into-indian-school-of-business\">Step 5 &#8211; Attend ISB Admission Events | How to get into Indian school of Business<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>ISB is conducting regional digital info sessions.

It is really important to focus on changeable factors. Taking the GMAT is one of them. From the class profile, you know that the average GMAT focus score of ISB\u2019s class is 669. As a rule of thumb, a <a href=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/what-is-good-gmat-score-5-step-process\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">good GMAT score<\/a> is at least 20 points more than the average. Therefore, a score of 685 and above would be a good score for ISB. However, identifying a good GMAT score also depends on your overall profile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"14-step-7-focus-on-essays\">Step 7 &#8211; Focus on Essays<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have aced the GMAT and understood the gaps in your application, it\u2019s time to prepare your essays.

This will show your keenness and preparation level<\/li><li>Be prepared about <strong>questions on projects you undertook<\/strong> in your last job.

How did you resolve them?<\/strong> You should at least know one project inside out.<\/li><li><strong>Be authentic<\/strong>.<\/li><li>An interview is a two-way communication. <strong>Be prepared with relevant and intelligent questions.<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Interviews follow \u201cMurphy\u2019s law.\u201d<\/strong> Be prepared that the interview will not go the way you expected it in your head. The best way to handle uncertainty is to give and record mock interviews.<\/li><li><strong>Keep your answers crisp<\/strong>. This will show that you are resourceful and good at communication. If you can convey some information in less time then you are saving the most important resource i.e. time.<\/li><li>Use <strong>humor in your interviews<\/strong>. It\u2019s good to know a joke or two, but only if you can pull it off.<\/li><li>If your hobbies\/ interests come up during the interview, be sure to <strong>know some trivia on the topics.<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Listen to the questions carefully, gather your thoughts and then answer<\/strong>.
