One of the most insightful videos I have seen related to ISB
Helped me a lot
🙌🏻
Hey Madhuri.
First of all, i must say the way you have answered all the questions is amazing.
My question is - is it worth doing a PGP from ISB at an age of 41, when you have around 12-13 years of experience. The aim of doing this program is to upskill and benefit financially.
If someone at this stage is earning around 30-35 lacs pa, do you think it's a good idea to do PGP from ISB. Would the placement offers be better and would they even consider this experience. Are there rejections with the reason of overqualification?
Thank you for this video, I can imagine how hard it will be to gather information, arrange it in a sequence and then explain it with such patience
Thanks for your appreciation, Kalyan! :)

Thanks a lot for taking the question Madhuri. The response is certainly helpful :)
Glad it was helpful! :)
Actually you told a lot about "it depends" that made me little bit confused. You have been part of isb so I thought you should have told average instead of "it depends" which make little bit confusion.
I have also mentioned factors that are different for each individual wherever I say "it depends" because there is no one-size-fits-all answer to most questions that I get asked about ISB. If you want to discuss your specific case in detail, please write to me at tiny.cc/madhuri

Hi Madhuri! Very informative videos. Should really be the first place to visit for any MBA aspirants.
I have a very specific question. How difficult do you say it will be for a person from an Arts Background to perform well in the 1 year compressed curriculum of ISB? Would you recommend any pre-joining prep for such a person? I am a corporate lawyer with 3.5 years of experience in PE/VC transactions looking to switch to business side of the same.
Hi Gaurav -- It'll be good for us to have a detailed discussion so that I can provide customized recommendations to you. Feel free to book a 30-minute 1:1 consultation with me here: madhurivarma.wordpress.com/contact-madhuri/
What skill have to learn alone with my graduation and GMAT prepration ? For isb!
I can't find this information anywhere......please provide what will be highest package offered in 2019 or 2020.......??????
I mean highest package till now
Hi Sunith -- package details are usually available in the annual placement report published by ISB. You can search for them online.

Good one 👍
Thanks ✌️
Present iam taking course of bba and after that what should I do to join in isb? i didn't understand about work experience. Does it mean that after our completion of bba will there be placements or should do pgdm Or mba to get placement and then work in that company for years and then join in isb? Please give me some clarity. It's my dream and I'm now 18 yrs old 🥺
Hi Anand - ISB needs a minimum of 2yrs workex as of the time you join ISB. Placements after your BBA depends on your current college. All the best👍🏻
Congratulations madhuri,
Please tell honestly whether isb is the best Indian b school for making a career in Consulting/ investment banking???
Thanks and regards
According to me, ISB is the best in India for Consulting / investing banking opportunities. The top 3 IIMs aren’t too far behind either though.
@@MadhuriVarma thanks
Hii Madhuri ma'am,can you please tell from where we can get GMAT materials,and what should be the work exp required if we are planning for executive MBA?
Hi Varun -- for GMAT, you can go for the Official Guide from Amazon, and Magoosh's self-study premium plan (imp.i154272.net/DDzMa).

Hello Mam, I follow your channel. I had an 3 years work experience now in 2021.planning for 1 year pgp in 2022 . Now I have a little bit doubt on post study placement. It's a kind of kido question but I think having a doubt is not healthy. The thing is what if a person is getting suppose a salary of 4-5 lacs/annum at an medium level role in pre ISB and after completing 1 year, would that person gets pkg of 25-26 lacs?

Thanks for the video.. In your experience how are the placements for people with 7 years work ex..
It depends on the role that you are applying for and the respective company's criteria for applicants. You should be good with respect to work-ex :)
Maam how are the placements for finance ?
Depends on what roles you are looking for. In general, there are quite a few Finance roles that are hired from campus.
Where are you now ma'am ?
I'm in California, working as an independent consultant for higher studies, career growth, and personal development.
@@MadhuriVarma and Ma'am one more thing ..How long it took you to repay the loans..?
which prep coaching is best for Gmat?
“Best” is subjective. I personally recommend the self-study premium plan by Magoosh. You can access it here: imp.i154272.net/ORoBkA
I don't have a proper job experience but I have experience of a startup on digital marketting which i cofounded with a friend. it is a registered comapany and has been active for 2 yrs plus. Will it be helpful or not?
Before the startup, i took 2 yrs gap for my upsc preparation. will the gap affect me or would the diverse knowledge gained during that phase help me in any way?
Hi Abhilasha -- Your startup experience will definitely count. For the gap year, it will matter how you explain it in your application. If you need guidance from me on this, please feel free to book a 30-minute 1:1 consultation with me here: madhurivarma.wordpress.com/contact-madhuri/
Can I attempt GMAT with 10 yrs work experience
Why not? Go for it!!
Why not??
Heyy maam, as u have mentioned in this video that u have a classmates with 10 yrs of experience or 42 year olds as well. I want to know that such people will placed easily or will they face any problem bcoz of workex. If some has done his/her btech from tier 3 college n mtech in cse from iitb and have a workex of 4 year at Amazon/goldman sach. After that if they want to change their roles to product/project management so is it a good choice to join isb for 1 year?. Will one face any problem of overqualification?. I mean as u can see. Mba after mtech which I told u.
...
.
Please clear this doubt maam.
Waiting for ur reply☺

Thank you so much mam for the video.
Just want to ask a question I am from hotel Management background and have 4+ year of work ex in sales of luxury hotels.
With a decent score in GMAT do I have a chance to convert ISB keeping the fact that my previous acads are not really great.

@@MadhuriVarma mam I have filled the same.
Just fyi.

Madhuri mam. I am preparing for gmat could u please help is consultation possible?
Mam very informative video but my question is what skills does the candidate should require in order to get into isb pgp program.
Can keep visit the isb hyd campus to clarify my doubts regarding admission
Hi Sampath -- admissions depends on an applicant's overall profile. I'll not be able to comment specifically without knowing your background and other details. You can sure visit the campus to speak with the admissions committee, although you might have to take a appointment prior to visiting. All the best!
@@MadhuriVarma thank you mam
Fee details tell me mam
MBA
You can get this information on ISB's website.
IS THERE CA COURSE?
ISB is a B-School, not for CA. Check out www.isb.edu
How about the loan procedure prior to admission ...
Many banks' details are mentioned on the website of ISB. You can reach out to them for answers to specific questions about loans.
What are placement options for PGPPRO ??
Hi Bharat -- depends on what you are aiming for.
What is the lowest package at ISB? with current fee of 40 lakh plus is it worth it. Also what about scholarship?
Yes it is worth it, I've never met someone who went there and regretted it
And your biggest misconception is that the package from campus is a final seal... It's not, your salary can increase by 100 % too upon making a switch..also u can try for off campus jobs too if campus placement wasn't enough for you.
. But I don't think it'll come to that also, students at ISB get multiple offers and median is around 32, so lowest should be around 23-24
@@shubhamayush7232 nobody regrets I know unless the person doesn't get job of his/her like but the lowest what I came to know is less than 20 lakh and above 15 lakh but that kind of package is easily possible with other colleges like SP Jain with half the fees. So ROI is much better.
The lowest package changes every year so no one will be able to comment on this with surety. "Worth" has a subjective definition. That said, a package depends on multiple factors such as the company's brand, market economy, expectations of the job, your last drawn salary, etc. With regards to scholarships, it's up to the discretion of the admissions committee, but there are multiple fund pools from which scholarships are offered to students. Hope this helps.
