What does ISB typically ask in its essays?
Based on our analysis of previous years’ ISB Essay questions, we know that ISB typically asks four types of questions:

Why should ISB choose you?
What are the leadership qualities you possess which will help you become a future leader?
What are your career plans after ISB?
Why ISB? (based on your career goals)
For 2024 admissions, ISB has changed the essay topics. There are 3 essays and 2 of them are compulsory. You must answer those two essay prompts for the ISB PGP admissions for the 2024 intake (PGP). Both essays have a word restriction of 400 words. You must submit an additional reapplicant essay if you did not receive an admit in the ISB PGP 2023 intake or any previous admission cycle.

Why identify your post-MBA career goals?
Identifying your post-MBA goals matters because you need to evaluate if the business school will give you a launchpad to accomplish your career goals. The right business school will act as a bridge to your post-MBA goals and help you grow professionally. You must understand how an MBA degree can impact your long-term success and how your target business school fits into the plan.

Besides, business schools value candidates who understand their goals and strengths. The admissions committee also tend to ask questions about your aspiration and what led you to pursue an MBA during your admissions process.
