Hi manish.109,
Thank you for your post! It's definitely a good idea to accumulate two to three years of work experience before applying to an MBA program. In regards to your GMAT score, you will need a 700+ to be competitive at the top programs. To really stand out from the many Indian nationals (likely with degrees from Indian institutions & potentially similar work experience), the higher GMAT score you can get, the better. I would also recommend taking on more community leadership if possible to build a more robust application.
Good luck preparing for the GMAT and in your new job!
