ISB Interview

Candidates short-listed for ISB Interviews

Well… an ISB interview call is the culmination of admission process and does need you to be prepared well… in fact more than that….

There are some basic steps to be taken so that you give your best shot in the ISB interview. Here are some insights from ISB alums from Class of 2008 and 2009.

1) The ISB Application : Yes, this is in fact one of the most important factor… you should always write stuff which is genuine…. Write what you really feel are your strengths, achievements and viewpoints…. This gives the much needed confidence to speak well in an interview….. Read your application thoroughly prior to your interview…

2) What to prepare for ISB interview– Asking guesstimate problems to engineers is fairly common…. So be prepared to solve some/ at-least have a look at some… candidates having fairly high work-ex (5 years and above) are likely to face relatively higher number of questions about their work experience

3) Basic Questions in ISB Interview…. You should be clear and well prepared about some obvious questions such as the need for MBA in your life… what will you contribute to ISB…. Job changes (or any other changes in life)… extra-curricular activities….your future plans…

4) What else - remaining part of the interview questions could range from current affairs to what you have written in the write-up (for one-word topic; required to be submitted prior to the interview)….. so just be updated on what’s happening around and have a viewpoint on the current issues

5) Last but not the least…since you are appearing for an ISB interview… it is always advisable to do some research/ reading on ISB….. talk to alums/ current students…. Visit the campus…. And remember do not do these activities randomly…. Try to establish a link between your profile and the homework you do on ISB!

I have heard that ISB interview panel has a dedicated person to only observe the interviewee's gestures and expressions. Is it true? And if it is, how should one impress this person. Interviews can be very stressful experiences.. and to also pay attention to your hand movements then can be even more troublesome. Please advise.
