Does ISB have a brand value better than that of XLRI, FMS, or IIM L?

The brand value of ISB and XLRI, FMS, IIM L can’t be compared. ISB is known for its executive PGP while XLRI, FMS, and IIM L are reputed for their two-year-long MBA progran. These are some of the top-rated B-Schools in the country and have long-standing legacies. ISB has a huge batch size of around 800. Due to the huge batch size students face problems getting decent opportunities through campus placements.The ROI isn’t that good. The total course fee for PGPM is around INR 36.3 lakhs. While the average CTC is around 34.07 LPA, according to the recent highlights of ISB placements.

Can a fresher with no work experience gain admission to ISB Hyderabad? If yes, then how?

Young Leaders Programme - YLP helps students get the tools they need to succeed at the work place. The program will also help you in getting admission at ISB PGP. You can apply to YLP during the prefinal or final year of your UG or PG degree. If you are selected to YLP, you need to complete at least 20 months of work experience. You will attend learning weekends through YLP. Once you fulfill the required work experience criteria and the deferment period is done, you can attend ISB.

Is it worth paying the higher fees to go to ISB? Why?

My answer is going to be extremely biased as my sister has been a victim of ISB Hyderabad’s high fees and poor placement opportunities. This answer is meant to shed some light on this issue. ISB Hyderabad MBA fees are currently INR 41,98,000 (plus GST) while the batch size is around 900. The Institute has failed to cater to the huge batch size and has witnessed a decline in the quality of education and placements in ISB Hyderabad. The best roles are very scarce and are given only to the students with the top grades. Others end up with below-average packages. As far as the specialization is concerned, Finance jobs are almost non-existent at ISB Hyderabad. Consulting is one of the leading domains here and the top 3 firms do visit the campus. But the number of roles offered by them is not enough for the huge batch. The other roles offered are mediocre and not at par with the hefty fees 900 students have paid. They expect better packages and after realizing the actual scenario feel wronged. ISB Hyderabad MBA is not suitable if you earn around 16 Llacs with more than 3 years of work experience you are a software engineer in top product companies you are already from a good engineering college like IITs, BITS, and Top NITs So we can safely conclude that ISB Hyderabad is an overrated Institute and its rankings are misleading. The reality of the institute begs to differ.

Will a 760 score in the GMAT help me get into ISB Hyderabad?

A 760 score in GAMT will help you get a shortlist from ISB Hyderabad. Students from the 2021 cohort had a GMAT score in the bandwidth of 580-780. So, you should get an interview call. But this doesn’t guarantee admission. Shortlisted students need to go through an interview round for final selection.

Once you wake up around 4, you can go to the gym, involve yourself in sports or prepare for your placements. At night you can sit with your study group and study till 11-12. The ones who are more serious about academics study alone also till morning. After this, you can prepare for the next day and take a nap before your next class.

What GMAT score is required for admission at ISB Hyderabad?

ISB Hyderabad GMAT cutoff stays around 710+. The institute follows a ‘no cutoff’ criteria for its management programs. So, there is no sectional or overall cutoff as such but a 710+ GMAT score is considered safe for getting admission.

How tough is it to pursue MBA from ISB Hyderabad?

It all depends on your interest, passion, inclination and aptitude. If you are really into it, it’ll be a fun ride. Studying 32 subjects in 50 weeks successfully looks a tough task. You will certainly need a bit of multitasking to help you. Many students often struggle with this because they only lack multi-tasking. Especially if you are coming from a non-engineering background you might need to put in some extra work to get used to the overall culture of doing more work in short deadlines. For someone looking from the outside, it sure looks a lot. Moreover, there is an endless competition among the students there to be on the top of various lists such as merit list, dean list, scholarship list to name a few. If you have been a topper throughout the academic year, it gets tougher for you since you compete with the best of the batch. The entire overall experience at ISB will depend how much potential and patience you have within. If you have any previous professional/corporate experience before joining ISB, it will be quite an enjoyable journey for you. You should take this journey as a challenging learning curve of your life.
