I contacted Shruti for application assistance for ISB and other IIM A/B Executive MBA's. I worked with her extensively to brainstorm on Career Goals, finalize my career stories, etc. She was very patient throughout the process and always ready to give suggestions about all the career options I could choose from. She knew exactly what the ISB or IIM admissions team is looking for and helped me make appropriate preparations.
I went through a number of mock interviews to prepare for actual interviews as I realized that Interviewing was something I was lacking in. I was so much more confident during the Interview process that I knew I would get the ISB admit right after completing my Interview. I am much more clear about my Post-MBA goals and that makes achieving them much easier. Finally, she has been a great mentor who was very prompt in helping whenever I had any doubts. I am so grateful for all the help in my Pre-MBA journey.

The landscape of MBA admissions continues to evolve, with applicants increasingly seeking programs that offer accelerated career outcomes and global exposure.

The One Year MBA in India programs from the IIMs and ISB MBA are leading this shift. Professionals are exploring pathways like the IIM Ahmedabad PGPX, IIM Bangalore EPGP, and IIM Calcutta MBAEx to fast-track into leadership roles.

At the same time, ISB offers a range of programs for different career stages — from the ISB PGP , ISB PGP YL and ISB PGPpro to the senior ISB PGPMAX. Global aspirants are also evaluating international MBA options for broader exposure. For deeper insights into MBA pathways and strategies, explore the GOALisB MBA Admissions Blog.
