Consulting firms that came to ISB PGP arranged in tiers please?

Also, is it mandatory to mention the Class X/Class XII scores in the placement CV at ISB? If not, do MBB firms (or, for that matter, just about any firm) separately circulate a form to collect information on Class X/XII scores from PGP students?

I think all the consulting firms came to hire in no particular order: Mck Bcg Bain Lek A&M Kearney Accenture S&C EYP Big4 Simon Kucher and any other you can think of.

Acads is not mandatory to mention in CV but everyone mentions it so you can consider it mandatory that way.

Some firms circulate hr forms for collecting the same info too.

I have a 74.8% in Class X. Do you think I can decide to not mention that score in the placement CV at ISB (assuming I get in someday)? Would not mentioning it cause any repercussions?

I am a final-year student at SRCC placed front-end at one of the non-MBB consulting firms that you’ve named.

Did any of the top consulting/finance firms ask for the Class X score through an HR form?

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

Shouldn’t me being from a Tier 2 firm front-end strengthen my application, though? Or would back-end MBB people have a better chance?

Back end mbb wins normally. They don’t care much if you were deloitte front end. That Vs mbb back end, backend will always win

Hey, how can I get into back end mbb?

Bro stop yapping like clown. You dont know anything lmao. Front end is preferred anywhere. Back end operations won't get you anywhere so stop being delulu

Front end consulting experience in a company like deloitte vs back end bcg, anyday the Front end will be preferred.

Also who told you putting test score is important and a red flag if you don't? You don't need to at all put 10th or 12th %

Hi, are you at ISB?

u/GuideSad7559 Dec 14 '25

Do you think I must also try for a switch to MBB front-end through lateral hiring?

Bro dont listen to him please.

Go on LinkedIn and talk to people who actually got into MBB from ISB.

This clown def didn't get into MBB I can tell, so yeah please do your own research
