Admissions Process

Stage 1: Application Submission
Assemble the key application components and submit your complete application along with all required supporting documentation online on the admissions portal before the application deadlines. The section on "Key Application Components" provides details on what you need to prepare to submit as part of your application.
Stage 2: Application Verification
As a next step, we will verify the completeness and accuracy of your application within 20 days of submission. We will check whether all necessary supporting documents, such as proof of identity, academic certificates and transcripts, professional documents, amongst others, have been submitted. We will also verify the contents of your application vis-a-vis the supporting documents. In case of any missing document or mismatch of information, we will communicate the same to you, and you will have 3 days to address any insufficiency. Once the verification is complete, your application will be marked as 'Verified' in the application portal. Only verified applications proceed to further evaluation.
Stage 3: Interview Shortlist
All 'Verified' applications undergo a structured review of academics, relevant test scores, professional experience, extracurricular activities, essays, awards and recognitions, and recommendations.

We follow a holistic evaluation approach, wherein all aspects of your profile are given due weightage to arrive at a final profile score. This enables the candidates to play to their strengths and balance their profiles across various parameters. The holistic selection process ensures the selection of a diverse cohort with a wide range of test scores.
Stage 4: Interview
After your application has been verified, you may be invited to an interview. Interviews last around 30 minutes and are conducted by a panel comprising ISB faculty and alumni. On the interview date, before meeting the panel, applicants will undergo 'On-Spot essays' - a written assessment which may comprise one or two essays. As part of your application, you can indicate your preferred interview location from a list typically including Tier-1 cities.

You may choose between virtual (Zoom) or in-person interview. If shortlisted, you will receive an email notification 3-7 days prior to your scheduled interview. The Admissions Office decides your interview location, considering your preference and availability.
Stage 5: Admissions Committee Review
Following interview feedback, applications undergo a comprehensive evaluation before presentation to the Admissions Committee, comprising faculty and alumni, who decide on the final offers.
Stage 6: Decision Notification
Candidates are informed of the final decisions via email according to the published timeline for their respective application rounds.
