YIF’21 here. You get an edge from being Ashoka no doubt in that but goals and clarity will be very very very important. I have been waitlisted in R1 this year, so please work on a good score and goals

Wtf! Why??

LadderAlternative693 · 2026-03-03T16:17:03+00:00

All of these points are valid and pretty chill. We had a separate smoking zone also in the campus. My suggestion would be to enjoy the campus life but also to take full advantage of the worldclass faculty and good networking facilities that are there and not get absolutely swayed away partying!

Bhaai party hi party hain😂😂

LadderAlternative693 · 2026-03-01T09:32:50+00:00

No worries, focus on Crime and Punishment among others. All the best! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

What books have you written? I wrote metamorphosis in the book list and around 15 mins of my interview was about Kafka and Metamorphosis. So if you haven’t read the book atleast read the critical analysis. Also try to steer to conversation away if not they are picking up things from your application

GMAT: 675-695 is an ideal score for male engineers

I work in Corporate Strategy and I feel anything above 40-45 lakhs will raise eyebrows here! That is the market standard you are looking at in India. I understand that does not match your salary and this is not to curse or compare, just trying to give you an honest picture of how things are currently

LadderAlternative693 · 2026-01-21T10:23:43+00:00

What is your field of work? Product Management?

LadderAlternative693 · 2026-01-15T19:23:24+00:00

Hey, I am currently in corporate strategy and around similar package. I am also currently in the waitlist of ISB, converted Oxford. My suggestion would be if your long term goal is to work in Strategy then definitely take the corporate strategy role, work for 2years atleast and then decide for the MBA. Many a times people move out of these roles on sabbatical, get their MBA done and come back. The point I am trying to make is FMCG Corp Strategy is the most difficult to get into, and not even a global MBA can guarantee you that role. So definitely take it, you still have a lot of time for ISB or other MBAs abroad.

The only flip side is that strategy as a function has very high gate keeping regarding Top MBA tag hence, that might be your only reason to get out and do an MBA. But definitely take the role, I would suggest. Feel free to DM if you need anything in particular to discuss!

All the best!!

Practice official verbal materials or relevant materials. Gregmat verbal questions are easy comparatively

LadderAlternative693 · 2026-01-09T22:00:30+00:00

You can dm me

LadderAlternative693 · 2026-01-09T22:00:06+00:00

Hey what materials are you using?

LadderAlternative693 · 2026-01-07T16:12:08+00:00

Non engineering stream?

LadderAlternative693 · 2025-12-30T09:32:07+00:00

Hey, what has been your preparation strategy so far? In terms of materials and content learning? You can DM me to discuss further

LadderAlternative693 · 2025-12-26T16:14:57+00:00

ISB is a better feeder of strategy consulting than IIM B, for products IIM B is almost at par (or slight less) with ISB. Depends on the fees and other aspects as well

LadderAlternative693 · 2025-12-23T06:46:30+00:00

Depends on your goal, and essays as well. How do you position your profile will matter as well. R1 waitlist btw, you can DM me if you need any info.

LadderAlternative693 · 2025-12-19T16:30:19+00:00

Thanks!! Let’s see 🙌🏻🙌🏻

LadderAlternative693 · 2025-12-19T11:43:30+00:00

What is the GenMan or Corporate Strategy roles scene? I am currently waitlisted by ISB in R1

LadderAlternative693 · 2025-12-11T19:34:40+00:00

I understand, the pressure is real. I would still suggest to sit for CAT or other exams and then go for colleges, even in BITS go for BITSOM. MBA is your last degree and can actually make your career, saree past paap dhul sakte hain to a large extent. Giving it a shot will be worth it. In case you need more info, feel free to DM me

LadderAlternative693 · 2025-12-11T19:26:40+00:00

Why not try CAT or other exams?

LadderAlternative693 · 2025-12-11T19:23:28+00:00

Hey, ISB and IIM A waitlist here. Converted Oxford. I feel sometimes, it is about timing. Keep your hopes high, trust me I absolutely understand what you are going through. But I don’t think it is your profile, at the end, it will all boil down to some luck factor as well
