Is getting into ISB hard ?

How hard is it to get into ISB and is it worth it?

How important is it to get an MBA for an overall network and growth perspective? I have an experience of 3 years at a series A startup, I now feel my growth flatlining. Would it be better if I go for an MBA or if I go to a different startup?

I'm starting to prepare for GMAT with target school as ISB. I have some questions where I need some guidance. If you're from ISB, I would like to talk to you in DM. It would really help in my journey. Thanks in advance!

Thinking of preparing for top IIMs now. Profile: X/XII/Btech = 86/91/8.96 How much percentile needed for IIM-ABCLKI for a General Engineering Female(GEF)?

I've heard lots of conflicting good and bad viewpoints on ISB on Grapevine and otherwise. I want to explore these things more and build a balanced perspective. Good things I've heard:- 1. Average comp is decently high as most of the batch has a decent amount of experience. 2. Professors, their way of teaching and the actual course content is one of the best in India. 3. The network is really strong, easily accessible via many channels and helps alumni land jobs frequently. Bad things I've heard:- 1. Placement comp numbers are heavily inflated. 2. Resume shortlisting in placements is hard because everyone exaggerates a lot and there's no resume vetting. 3. Many people go unplaced. How much of this (good or bad) is true? Any other good or bad points?

Hello! I'm standing at a career crossroads and could really use some perspective. Profile : -YOE-3yrs. -2 years in a technical role and - 1year working as a Project manager in a well known MNC. - Graduated from a well-known T-2 college engineering college. I've always wanted to be in a managerial role. I feel like I'd definitely do better in such a role, in the long run. I'm considering going for an MBA at ISB, but – the idea of taking on a 45-lakh loan is giving me pause. Coming from a middle-class background, it's a significant financial commitment. Plus, the job outlook for Product roles is fuzzy, and I'm not entirely sold on the consulting scene either. The big question is whether an MBA from ISB would really pay off. If you've gone through a similar decision-making process or have insights, navigating a career shift post-MBA, or just general advice on making a call like this, I'd love to hear what you have to say.

Since then working as a software developer Work ex of 2.5 years in the software industry. My main intention is to shift out from the software industry and get into consulting role If I have a good GMAT is it possible to get into ISB given that I am from IT domain.

How important is it to get an MBA for an overall network and growth perspective? I have an experience of 3 years at a series A startup, I now feel my growth flatlining. Would it be better if I go for an MBA or if I go to a different startup? My profile is not the best in terms of grades (not bad either but 90% in 10th and 12th and 7 CGPA in college- BA Hons) Will ISB admit be possible given I crack a great GMAT score? I’m unsure if the Acads will hamper it. Please upvote so that it reaches relevant folks for help. Thanks!
