   Dear Sir,
   Iam a B'com graduate, with a very average academic record and over 6 years of exp in Insurance. Im currently working as a Branch Manager with one of india's most reputed brand handling 30 managers who have their respective teams. Had started of as a front liner and have grown in the organisation, have taken 4 promotions in 4 years and presently im the youngest BM countrywide. I have always been the best performer in my job sphere. I'm doing fine with my job and have come across suggestion from people that i shud go for a PG course to enhance my cross functional knowledge and to get a wider scope of future growth, and keeping in mind my obligations and time factor the best place coming to my mind is ISB.
   Keeping in mind the requirements at ISB, the way i assess myself is that, i have been out of touch from studies for a long time, i do not have excellent essay writing skills.
   The purpose of me going for a PG is to enhance my skills and broadening my prospects of growth. Keeping apart my academic front i have been very sucessful in my professional life at all positions that i have handled.

   Kindly suggest do i fit into the ISB profile, if yes then what should be my course of action and by what timelines.

   Maverick,

   The average work exp of the current batch is 5 years and the batch age ranges from 23-51 years. Prima facie, you fit into the ISB profile. You only need to take the GMAT test which requires a lot preparation. I will suggest that you visit the site http://www.gmac.com and learn more about the test. There are various coaching centers like Kaplan, Princeton Review, Jamboree, Career Launcher, etc, that assist in GMAT preparation.

   I would also like to highlight that the programme at ISB is very rigorous in content and structure. Students who join the ISB must possess an academic record that can convince the Admissions Committee of their ability to cope with the rigorous curriculum. Our evaluation therefore considers your undergraduate performance. However there is no cut-off score.

   In case, you had an average academic record in the past, you can always make it up with a good GMAT score and a strong application. The ADCOM will also look at the depth and breadth of your work exp. While writing the application essays, make sure that you highlight your professional capabilities and leadership skills.
