profile evaluation for ISB, Hyderabad : ISB

Avneeshyadav01:

We echo the opinion of the previous poster. MBA classes are comprised of students from all professional backgrounds. The public sector (government), while not the most common industry, it is still relatively well-represented for pretty much every incoming class. When putting together your application - namely the essays and resume/CV - do not underestimate your background or credentials. You are equally as qualified as someone with private sector experience.

Good luck on the GMAT. That is a very important component of your application.

Please keep in touch and let us know if our community can help you in any way moving forward.

I have done my B. Tech. in IT in 2012, followed by one year of experience in software testing. As of now I have been working in Indian customs (government sector) since last 6 years.
10th: 69.4%
12th: 75.8%
B.Tech. 74.5%

I am planning to take GMAT in couple of months. Please let me know whether my profile suits for ISB; I mean, is it okay to have WE in government sector ?

Hi Avneeshyadav01 hope this finds you well

For applicants with relatively more experience, such as you, ISB expects to see a clear professional growth trajectory in their application. As you are transitioning from the government sector, the admissions committee may hold preconceived notions that your professional growth was limited. Therefore, it is crucial that you demonstrate your skills and potential to differentiate yourself from other candidates in this sector.
The government sector is well represented at ISB, but keep in mind that only those who exhibit the utmost clarity in their past trajectory and future goals make the final selection. You did not mention about your goals. That would require a lot of deliberation. Regarding the GMAT, the higher you score, the higher the likelihood of receiving favorable consideration. Please do not hesitate to contact should you need further guidance.

Best wishes
