Why are MBB so particular about B Schools? 😕 Inspite of having a referral from a partner in Bain and relevant experience, wasn't even given an interview opportunity. The only reason I can think of is my B School (just below IIM Indore and along the lines of NITIE, MDI, IIM Shillong) Could there be any other reasons?

Could be your educational pedigree, quality of academics, nature of work experience etc. They look for relevant work experience + spikes in your resume - essentially something that shows you've been exceptional in the work / studying you've done.

Hope something else works out for you!

Which b-school you are from?

If you need so many other b schools to define yours, then you likely are not from a comparable one. Why don't you share which b school you are from and let people decide if it's just below IIM I and give you a helpful answer or in your CV also you put graduate from a campus comparable to..
