Indian School of Business, Hyderabad invites 'rejects' to re-apply
According to Times of India, The Indian School of Business, Hyderabad has invited MBA applicants that it had rejected last year to re-apply. These rejects will be allowed to re-apply at one-third the application fee which is currently Rs 3,000.
According to the letter sent out to rejects, "...the processing our backend team has to do in terms of reapplications is less and thus cost us less. We would thus like to pass on this advantage to you and incentivise your reapplication to the ISB. Your application to the ISB as a reapplicant will now cost you Rs 1,000- only."
A number of applicants now have been asked to re-apply for the 2010-2011 batch — and not for the 2009-'10 batch which has already begun.
