I have been asked by many prospective applicants as to which round is the best to apply – R1 or R2. My advice is very simple. You should apply when you are ready. If your GMAT is in place and so are the essays and other details, apply right away. If you think, there is an important assignment at work which is nearing completion or you are due for a promotion,, which will change your role and responsibilities, you may want to apply in the Round 2. The bottom line is that one should apply with the best application in place.
Ultimately, R1 or R2 for us makes no difference as we have historically received more or less equal number of applications and the seats are also distributed accordingly. So, you are neither at an advantage nor at an disadvantage.
Thanks a Lot for the Useful Information! This information has nearly got me out of the dilemma.
I am about to get an international assignment, So wasn’t able to figure out if applying in R2 will dampen my chances of admission or won’t affect it any way,
Thank You.

Good Morning Sir ,
I have got 4 years of experience in IT sector.I wanted to change my career line so thought of MBA.One of my friend was telling me that duration of MBA in ISB is one year?So I wanted to know whether it is true or not?
One more thing you expect GMAT score only or CAT too?
we have a one year course. and we accept only GMAT scores.
Hey,
I have got 1.8 years of experience and am planning to apply in the second round this year. I just need to know whether my experience qualify me to apply to ISB and whether my application will follow the same process as it will be for other candidates with 2 years of experience.
Thanking You
Sneha
You should have a full-time work experience of 2 years at the time of joining the programme, not necessarily at the time of applying.
Thanks a lot of for sharing it with us.
