MBA in Management for Senior Executives

Share awards or recognitions from any stage of your life, explaining their context and significance. Choose awards with personal or professional meaning—don't just list them but share why they matter and what they reveal about your values and journey. Include professional awards, academic recognitions, extracurricular achievements, patents, national awards, and publications in prominent journals. We seek key milestones, transformative achievements, and community contributions that shaped your evolution. Thoughtful reflection helps us understand what drives you beyond your resume. It's not about quantity—it's about meaningful reflection offering a clearer picture of who you are.

The applicant should have a bachelor’s degree or equivalent qualification in any discipline.

Your essays reveal the deeper dimensions of your professional journey beyond metrics and milestones. They showcase what motivates you, the experiences that shaped your leadership approach, and your unique perspectives that will enrich ISB's learning community. Essay 1 (Mandatory, 500 words): How have your experiences shaped who you are and how you lead? How will your unique experience contribute to ISB? Essay 2 (Mandatory, 500 words): What professional experiences have influenced your approach to learning? Elaborate on key factors that led you to pursue PGP MAX and how you plan to leverage it to achieve your professional goals. Essay 3 (Optional, 300 words): Highlight work and non-work achievements not captured elsewhere in your application. Write with clarity and authenticity. Reflect intentionally, speak from experience, and ensure your essays couldn't describe anyone else.

Your application requires two professional recommendations submitted online by your chosen round's deadline. These provide a 360-degree view of your leadership through the lens of someone who's worked closely with you. Ideally, you must choose recommenders who understand your leadership style firsthand, have worked with you on high-stakes initiatives, and can speak to your influence and effectiveness. Former supervisors, senior colleagues, or external collaborators are excellent choices; academic references aren't necessary unless contextually relevant.
