How are ISB PGPpro placements?

Campus placement is not a part of ISB executive MBA. ISB PGPpro placements are not offered because it is an Executive MBA from ISB designed for working professionals largely the senior level professionals. The ISB PGPpro placements are not  a part of the conceptual framework as these professionals are already well established in their career.

SUCCESS STORIES

ISB PGPpro Reviews

Shruti is very friendly and approachable. I worked with her to apply for my application at ISB. She is very thoughtful and understands the profile of the person very carefully. She identifies the correct areas which needs to be highlighted and presented properly in the application. Her insights and experience are really helpful in preparing for the interview. I would highly recommend her for any ISB aspiring candidate.

Mithil Thakkar, ISB PGPpro

I worked with Shruti to help me with my ISB application and review process. She is very approachable and friendly. Regarding my profile and application, she was direct as to what to highlight on the application and what not to. She explained me about how to look for the strength and learning from my past experiences and with her magic of words she wrote a perfect essay which would show my experience and achievements in a structured way. When I got the call for the interview, I just had 2 days to prepare and was very nervous but Shruti helped me through and was just a phone call away for any questions or suggestions required regarding it, we had a mock interview set up just hours before the interview which helped in settling my nerves. As an ISB Alumni she knows what ISB is looking for in a student. I would surely recommend GoalISB to anyone who needs help with their MBA Application.

Shubham Jain, ISB PGPpro

Shruti is handling one of the most professional, responsive and effective support systems I have came across. Her expertise with admission essays and interview preparations is strongly complimented by her strong understanding of the systems and processes involved .
I would recommend Shruti's services without any reservations .
