Can I get into ISB Hyderabad with a low academic record?

Question

Rohit Patel · Accepted Answer

Yes, it's possible to get into ISB Hyderabad even with a not-so-great academic record. What you need to do is kill it on the GMAT! Aim for a score of 720 or higher to offset your academic performance and show them what you're capable of.

Think of it as highlighting your strengths in other areas. Maybe you've crushed it in extracurriculars or have some awesome achievements at work. ISB Hyderabad looks at a few key things:

Communication skills: Seriously important. You've gotta be able to communicate effectively.
Learnability: How well can you pick up new things and adapt?
Team skills: Can you work well with others?
Leadership qualities: Do you have what it takes to lead?
Academic records: Of course, they look at your grades, but a killer GMAT score can show improvement and potential.

Basically, a strong work performance or a high GMAT/GRE score can make up for lower grades. But, if your grades are super low with no good reason, it might be a tougher sell, not just for ISB but for any top business school.

Its a Question about your future!
