ISB Deadlines 2007-2008

The Indian School of Business recently released its admissions calendar for the coming season. Because of the logistics of obtaining a visa and arranging for international relocation, it’s common for business schools to set an earlier deadline for international applicants than for domestic students. ISB, however, takes this one step further, following a different process for Indian passport holders than for international applicants.

Timeline for Indian Passport Holders

Cycle 1
Application Opens: July 1, 2007
Deadline: September 15, 2007
Interviews in: October/November 2007
Offer Decision: by December 15, 2007
Acceptance Decision: 15 days from date of offer

Cycle 2
Application Opens: July 1, 2007
Deadline: November 15, 2007
Interviews in: December 2007/January 2008
Offer Decision: by February 15, 2007
Acceptance Decision: 15 days from date of offer

The requirement that applicants accept or decline the offer of admission in just over two weeks is definitely something to consider when deciding on the timing of one’s application, especially given the fact that many U.S. schools don’t release their final decisions to round one applicants until January.

Meanwhile, for Non-Indian Passport Holders, the school employs a more straightforward rolling admissions model.

Application Opens: July 1, 2007
Deadline: January 31, 2008
Interviews: within one month of application submission
Offer Decision: within two weeks of interview

The school’s online application will be available on July 1, so be sure to check back then.
