📌 Steps to Follow After Submitting Your ISB Application

Go through your essays, resume, and form responses. The interview panel often builds their questions directly from what you’ve written. Be ready to expand on any detail you’ve shared.
2. Craft Your Story
Why MBA? Why ISB? Why now?
Your answers need to be structured, specific, and authentic. Practice telling your story clearly, in a way that connects with ISB’s values.
3. Prepare for Common Interview Themes

Your short-term and long-term goals
-
Leadership experiences
-
Industry knowledge and career path
-
Strengths and weaknesses
-
Situational/behavioral questions ("Tell me about a time when...")
4. Mock Interviews are a Game-Changer
Get feedback. Whether from peers, mentors, or ISB alumni—mock interviews can help you identify gaps in your answers, tone, or clarity.
5. Stay Informed
ISB wants curious and aware candidates. Stay updated on industry trends, global business news, and developments in your domain.
🔥 Pro Tip
Your interview is not just about “knowing your answers.” It’s about knowing yourself. Be confident, stay calm, and let your personality come through.
