My Journey To ISB Through YLP || Ft. Kedar Sahasrabudhe

The Interview: 

I had one week to prepare for the interview and was called to the Hyderabad campus for the same. The interview began with a general "Walk me through your profile" question. The interviewer asked me a follow-up on World War 2 because I had mentioned the same that I like to read history, specially military operations while introducing myself. I was able to answer and break the ice comfortably. Then there were a few questions about what I want out of ISB and how it is in line with my career goals. There were a few questions on business GK. Overall it was all done in 40 mins.

3 weeks later at 6 pm at the end of Oct 2017 , I got an email that I have been admitted. I decided to skip CAT which was due 2 weeks later:)

SUMMARY: 

Prepare your essays well. Your essays will be thoroughly read by the admissions team and you will be quized in the interview based on the same. Infact an essay can be a make or break on your interim shortlists.

I believe what they look for is a certain degree of clarity of thought and they like to vett the depth of your thinking and how well-read are you when it comes to your career goals. ISB YLP is a great platform to get a confirmed MBA seat and pursue your career after your graduation. Work experience is valued in the industry. Additionally you get a choice to defer your admission by a year. I chose not to defer and joined ISB as a part of the class of 2021 at the peak of COVID-19!
