Essay Question - 1:If we were to admit just One more candidate to the Postgraduate Programme (PGP) at the ISB, why should it be you? (400 words max)
Analysis - The objective of this essay is to gauge the value-add the candidate will do to the classroom, peer group and enhance the value of ISB community at large. The candidate must showcase his/her individuality demonstrating how it stands out and differentiated from the rest by highlighting one's accomplishments, which reflect qualities of leadership potential, problem solving skill, perseverance etc. A direct link between the qualities one choose and ISB's academic or non-academic resources elaborating how exactly he/she will contribute to experiences of the student body has to be substantiated. For instance,
"¢ An HR professional can help CAS (Placement committee) in organizing Pre-placement talks and campus interviews for the school in a smooth manner.
"¢ An Economics or Finance major can take part in leading Finance club and driving its activities
This is the platform for the applicants to best persuade the admissions committee of their worthiness from their personal/professional experiences. Key qualities/traits looked at are penchant to learn, management ability, leadership quality, initiative, collaborative mindset, and achievement orientation.
