Most business schools, whether in India or around the world, do not specify the minimum GMAT score. Eligibility for admission is derived from a cumulative consideration of all, or some of the parameters: your scores, past academic record, work experience, essays, recommendations and finally the interview that seals the deal.
An average ISB candidate generally has around 4-5 years of work experience and should have a GMAT score above 700. Regards.

If you have 99 percentile, try tier I PUMBA (government), SIMSREE (government), XIME-Blore, Great Lakes- Chennai. If you are good enough as a salesman, then choose MBA marketing, as in maximum case the core marketing profile is not available in average MAT colleges. So, they provide the sales profile of business development manager, relationship manager, corporate sales, retail sales, credit sales etc. If you have CMAT score, try IMT-Nagpur and Hyderabad for sales. Try to avoid NGO consultancy and current students review, as they are also part of the system, so they can't bring the in campus reality in front of you. Be clever before investment. The colleges you mentioned are almost same. As you should know in tier II, average college's placement depends upon the strong hold of the placement officer not on college brand name. In our Ghaziabad based college, we faced this. During the placement time, the placement officer resigns for another better offer and the next new one was not good and students are given in bulk hire and fire profile. Always remember 100% placement does not make any sense without job stability.

Both are good colleges in their own terms. Fee structure is almost same of both the colleges. ISB&M is quite costly than ITM. When we come to course structure ITM is more good than ISB&M. And when we talk about placements ITM has highest package of 14 lakhs given by Amazon and minimum is 5 lakhs. And the average is 5.5-6 lakhs. Good luck for your future.

Hi, As per the website, no cut off criteria are applied to either the academic credentials or the GMAT/GRE score. Each applicant to the Post Graduate Programme in Management at the Indian School of Business is holistically evaluated on the following parameters:
ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS
The application keenly evaluates your ability to cope with the rigour of the programme through your past academic performance and your performance in the GMAT/GRE exam. We consider the 12th standard grades, graduation grades, post graduation and certification scores- wherever applicable along with the overall GMAT/GRE score. http://www.isb.edu/pgp/admissions/selection-criteria.

Hi, ISB won't. Harvard may accept if your profile is something extraordinary and unique among thousands of applicants who will most likely come from mid to senior level managerial roles. If you think you can compete with them, give a shot. Alternatively consider doing a MS Management programme from a top business school such as INSEAD, HEC Paris and so on.
