After application submission, students who have family income, below INR 18 lacs ($21,000) per annum can apply for ‘need-based scholarships’ and submit the documents needed to assess eligibility.

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, amongst others, have been submitted. We will also verify the contents of your application vis-à-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’ time 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.

All ‘Verified’ applications undergo evaluation based on academics, relevant test scores, awards and achievements, essays and recommendations. 
We follow a holistic evaluation approach, where all aspects of your profile are given due weightage to arrive at a final profile score. The comprehensive process ensures selection of a diverse cohort with a wide range of test scores.

Applications that meet the requirements of these evaluation parameters are shortlisted for interview.

The interview is an integral component of our admissions process. If shortlisted, you may choose between virtual interviews conducted via Zoom or in-person interviews at available tier-1 city locations. The Admissions Team assigns your final interview format based on your preference and scheduling availability. Both virtual and in-person interview formats are evaluated equally, with no inherent advantage of one format over the other. 

You will receive notification 3-7 days in advance of your scheduled interview. Interviews last approximately 30 minutes and are conducted by a panel comprising ISB faculty, alumni, and senior staff. During the interview process, you are required to complete two on-spot essays as part of the evaluation. 

Every aspect of your application is considered comprehensively, contributing to our objective of building a diverse and accomplished cohort.

Following interview feedback, applications undergo a comprehensive evaluation before presentation to the Admissions Committee, comprising faculty and alumni, who make the decision on the final offers.

If shortlisted, you may be invited for merit and merit-cum-need based scholarship interviews. This information will be available in the offer letter.  

The selection process will include an essay and interview, both administered online. The Scholarship Committee conducts a final review and communicates decisions directly to the applicants.
