Sorry to break it to you but wanted to correct that ISB doesn't consider CAT score. They take either GMAT or GRE scores. Plus, you won't need work ex always to apply in ISB, for less than 2 years work ex peeps, there are YLP and EEO for their PGP program. Please rectify the incorrect information in the video. Thanks :)

@arkadebnath4966 Ай бұрын

@@Andrew-cw6od It's good for the peeps who are in their undergrad and are hellbent on doing an MBA. Through YLP you get a deferred admission and it gives you the liberty to pursue anything you want in the 2 years. You are more relaxed cause you don't have to worry about getting into that hustle of getting into a Bschool which is a tough process, simultaneously with your job.
