NEW DELHI, NEW DELHI, INDIA, August 7, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Mr. Pritesh Zaveri, Admissions Director at the Indian School of Business, addressed applicant misconceptions around GMAT cutoffs, career gaps, reapplication, and profile diversity in a live conversation with Ms. Shruti P., GOALisB, ranked #10 globally on the Poets & Quants Top MBA Admissions Consultants list.
GOALisB, a higher education admissions consultancy is led by Shruti P., ranked #10 globally on the Poets & Quants Top MBA Admissions Consultants 2026 list, hosted a live webinar on August 6, 2026, titled “Who Thrives at ISB? Busting the Biggest Myths About ISB PGP Admissions.” The session featured Mr. Pritesh Zaveri, Admissions Director at the Indian School of Business (ISB), in direct conversation with Ms. Shruti P., ISB admission consultant, with GOALisB, ranked #10 globally on the Poets & Quants Top MBA Admissions Consultants list.
The 36-minute session addressed some of the most persistent misconceptions applicants hold about ISB admission process, including the belief that a minimum GMAT or GRE score is required, that career gaps and periods of unemployment count against an applicant, and that candidates without a traditional corporate background face a structural disadvantage.
Mr. Zaveri, who brings more than twenty-five years of international leadership experience across higher education and industry, spanning admissions strategy and applicant engagement across India, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, offered specific, previously unpublished detail on ISB’s evaluation process. This included confirmation that ISB is completely agnostic between the GMAT and GRE with no fixed cutoff score, and that the school’s lowest accepted score in the most recent admitted class was 575, while a candidate who scored 775 was not offered admission in the same cycle.
“Every admission cycle, we speak to candidates who talk themselves out of applying, not because they lack potential, but because of beliefs about the ISB admissions process that simply are not true,” said Shruti P., ISB admission consultant, with GOALisB, ranked #10 globally on the Poets & Quants Top MBA Admissions Consultants list, who moderated the session. “Having ISB’s own Admissions Director address these myths directly, with real numbers and real cases, is the kind of transparency applicants rarely get access to.”
The session also covered ISB PGP evaluation approach toward second-time MBA applicants, reapplicants, candidates from family-business backgrounds, and applicants from smaller cities or lesser-known employers, along with a detailed breakdown of ISB’s scholarship categories, including merit-based, need-based, diversity, and armed-forces scholarships.
A full transcript and question-by-question breakdown of the session is available on GOALisB’s website. The recording remains accessible for applicants preparing for ISB’s upcoming Round 1 deadline of September 20, 2026.
