Deadlines

Explain how you plan to contribute to the development of your home country and community after you have completed your studies

Mind the scholarship date. Most NBS scholarships close March 30, a day before the Round 3 deadline, and each one needs its own essay in the application form. If funding matters, apply in Round 1 or 2 and draft the scholarship essay alongside the main ones.
NBS records its admissions interviews as part of selection, so give the interview the same preparation as your essays. Shortlisting can come in waves after each deadline, and only successful candidates hear back.
NBS names five things it wants to see: intellectual capability, career progression, professional achievements, leadership potential and cultural sensitivity. Your CV covers the first three. Your essays have to carry the last two, and in a class drawn from 15 to 20 countries, cultural sensitivity means a real example, not a claim.
The FAQ calls 600 the GMAT floor, but NBS takes your highest score and scholarship eligibility often asks for a good GMAT or GRE. A retake that lifts you well clear of 600 can be worth more than another essay draft.
