Will a 760 score in the GMAT help me get into ISB Hyderabad?

A GMAT score of 760 is considered very high and is in the top 1% of all aspirants. However, ISB Hyderabad is a highly selective institution, and your GMAT score alone is not enough to determine your eligibility to the institute. The institute has a reputation for accepting only the best and takes multiple factors into consideration while filtering the candidates. Some of these are work experience, academic profile, essays, interviews, and LORs also play a role in the admissions decision. 

A 760 GMAT score will certainly be a strong asset in your application and increase your chances of admission but not the sole criterion. 

Let me share my brother's experience that will make you understand better. He had the opportunity to attend ISB’s admission conference where he learned that the highest GMAT score was 760–780. He asked one of the faculty members the exact score that would guarantee a seat at ISB Hyderabad. He said that a score equal to their highest would guarantee it.

Surprisingly enough, my brother was able to score 760 and was called for an interview but failed to get admission. He went through the profiles of accepted candidates and realized the panelists preferred students with international experience.

So, it can be concluded that ISB never evaluates its candidates on the basis of just one parameter but a mix of them. You are expected to have a strong overall profile, a good academic record, relevant work experience, and a compelling story to tell in your essays and interviews.

A 760 score in GAMT will help you get a shortlist from ISB Hyderabad. Students from the 2021 cohort had a GMAT score in the bandwidth of 580-780. So, you should get an interview call. But this doesn’t guarantee admission. Shortlisted students need to go through an interview round for final selection.
