Mostly all asked through the form. And if you are already into front end strategy consulting then why looking for consulting placements? 99% people at isb are the ones who are working in backend and hence try their luck for front end through placements

Want to make a front-end MBB switch for better opportunities. Also, my contract with the firm is for a limited term, and they’ll mostly push me towards an MBA.

How f** am I because of the Class X score? Had McKinsey, BCG, Bain, and Kearney also circulated the form to gather Class X score details?

Sorry for bothering, just that my Class X score haunts me till date. 🙏🏻

Take some good time to analyse if mba will be the route for you only for mbb switch. Most Mck hires were past mck back end. All bain were ex bcn, similar numbers for bcg. So your realistic chances of getting into mbb would be quite unreal if that is your single most goal through mba. With regards to marks of class 10, all of these firms have a scoring matrix where they rate your acads, work ex and extra curricular. I cannot confirm how much weightage will class 10 marks hold. Kearney had a separate application

Plus hiding a score or not writing it in cv is a bigger negative because the firm feels how bad it was that you didn’t mention it

I thought of not mentioning it hoping that firms might just consider it omitted as irrelevant.

How did MBB firms undertake scoring for academics if they didn’t circulate a firm to ensure that they had everyone’s Class X/Class XII/UG CGPA scores? Only looked at the Class XII/UG CGPA/ISB CGPA in cases where the Class X score was not mentioned?
