This is the real ISB interview experience of a candidate who has 5 years of work experience in IT Consulting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"ISB<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The ISB interview was conducted on October 22, 2016. As per the candidate\u2019s information, there were two alumni and one admissions manager in the interview panel. In his\/her opinion, the interview was mainly focused on the profile and based on your responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interview Date<\/strong><\/td>22nd Oct, 2016<\/td><\/tr>
Work Profile<\/strong><\/td>Banking sales\/2.5 years – IT consulting
2 yrs Current Job \u2013 SAP Consultant<\/td><\/tr>
Re-Applicant?<\/strong><\/td>No<\/td><\/tr>
Interviewers\u2019 Profile<\/strong><\/td>P1 \u2013 ISB Admin
P2 \u2013 Alum
P3 \u2013 Alum<\/td><\/tr>
Your Opinion on the approach of the interviewers and their key focus<\/strong><\/td>1 member of the panel was very aggressive, who rebutted almost every point made. The 2nd was very calm, and would listen to every point and nod in agreement. So I think it was basically a good cop\/bad cap approach. The third member was a silent observer.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Qn: We have gone through your profile. Let us directly address the elephant in the room. Why 2nd<\/sup> MBA?<\/strong>
A: I had done my earlier MBA without any work experience and the purpose of that MBA was to get into business-related roles, which I did. I have got results that I wanted from the 1st MBA. However, a lot has changed in the last 5 years. After working in IT consulting for last 2 years, I now want to move into a bigger consulting role. In a consulting role, I think it is very necessary to look at a business problem from different perspectives and to come up with an innovative solution. In a school like ISB where students come from diverse backgrounds and with diverse work experience, I will get an opportunity to develop this different perspective, and with the global curriculum that ISB offers, I will develop a global view and approach that I think is very important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Followup Qn:  Things will always keep on changing, I have done my MBA 7 years back, do you mean to say, I will need another MBA<\/strong>?
A:  Yes. I agree. Things will keep changing. We will always come up with innovative ways of doing business and we need to keep ourselves updated, MBA is just one way of doing that. I currently keep myself updated with the latest technologies by doing certain certifications. But to move to a consulting company and to work with the likes of Bain & AT Kearny, I think an MBA at this point of time is very necessary for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Qn: I think you want to do an MBA from ISB just for a better job and a better salary.<\/strong>
A: No. That\u2019s not the case. My focus has always been to acquire the skills required for a business. First 2 years of my career were in the banking industry where I understood the nuances of sales and I got an experience of handling a team and I had a good career progression. But my long term goal was to get into consulting. I made a switch to IT consulting. I would not have made this switch if I was merely looking for a salary increase. The same is the case with doing an MBA now. The idea is to acquire the skills necessary for my career in consulting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Qn: You already have an MBA and have worked in the wealth management sector, I want you to discuss the total wealth management market in India, the players and the market sectors. You can use the whiteboard.<\/strong>
A: Answered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Qn: What would you do in the next 1 year in ISB to get close to your goal of consulting?<\/strong>
A: I would make complete use of clubs like the Consulting club and Business technology clubs. I would also try to gain from the unique ELP program offered by ISB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Qn: Do you have any questions for us?<\/strong>
A: No. Thank you for the opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n
