Should I write GMAT

I am planning to give the GMAT this year. My Target B-school is ISB- Hyderabad I am 24. I graduated from NIT Nagpur in 2021. 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.

You can't target ISB Hyderabad. Never say this in interviews if you get a shortlist. You can target ISB. Campus decisions are decided by the school and not by merit: it's random.

Why do you want to switch to consulting? Isn’t the pay higher in tech?

MBA for startups/jobs

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 star...

Is getting into ISB hard ?

Hey folks, have been thinking if MBA is what I should do next. I'm keen on cracking ISB.

What is the GMAT score I should aim to get and in general what does it take to get into ISB ?

Easier compared to clearing CAT and getting into ABC
