Does giving GRE instead of GMAT affects the chances of getting into ISB?

No it does not, taking either of the test would not hamper your chances of getting an admit from ISB. This is, however, a personal choice depending on what you are more comfortable with - if it is quant that is your forte - GMAT would probably be a better option. If you are more confident in your verbal abilities, GRE would probably be the way to go!

Hi fishes,
I am currently working as a Data Science Analyst in Amex and would like to make a switch to Fraud detection/Credit risk modelling in future.(not in a hurry but would like to start preparing for the same)
How should I go about preparing for it? Is MBA the only course?
My current tech stack is Python, Pyspark, Hive, SQL, ML, DL(specifically NLP based). I have already done MS in CS from IIT Kgp.
I am confused mainly cause the tech stack requirement is similar to my role in the company.
