How an IAS officer made it to MIT with 12 years of experience
MIT Sloan is perhaps a dream school for more MBA applicants than any other top business school around the world. True, Harvard, Stanford, and Wharton all have their followers, but there is something very unique and distinct about MIT that makes it irresistible to MBA applicants.
However, no sooner is the name of the MIT Sloan School of Management mentioned, that one realizes that it is also one of the toughest MBA programs to get into. Think GMAT scores well in excess of 750, strong international experience, and a history of work for a top-tier brand name, apart from, of course, a stellar application.

And yet, Mukesh Bansal, with 12 years of experience in Civil Services.. MBA for IAS Officers

That is the core philosophy on which ISB has launched its 2018-19 application. The familiar old interface (after an unwelcome change last year), essay topics similar to those seen earlier, and the (re)introduction of an optional essay are the key hallmarks that denote these changes. The ISB application for 2018 (2019 intake or Class of 2020) is now open, and ISB has announced a new set of essays to replace the ones from 2017. The ISB essays 2018, though, aren’t really a completely fresh set of essays, but somewhat modified versions of essays that have been used in its essay set by ISB in the past. The core elements that ISB looks for, though, remain the same across its essays over the years – differentiation, achievement, and fit with the school and the PGP program..ISB MBA Admission consultant
