Hi Puja216, if I were you I would focus on my essays rather than improving GMAT score. Your GMAT score seems fine to me for most programs you are aiming for. Average GMAT scores/ range:
ISB :704 (https://www.isb.edu/pgp/peer-group/class-profile)
SP Jain ~ 650
NUS:656 (https://mba.nus.edu/student-life/116-class-profile)
NTU ~ 650
HKUST: 580-710 (https://www.mba.ust.hk/m/full-time-mba/class-profile.php)
GMAT score is important, but its not the only thing that will get you an admit. GMAT has about 20%-33% weight for these B-schools. My recommendation would be to focus on submitting an impeccable application. Start with your essays (believe me, there will be umpteen iterations), attend events by these schools, approach your potential recommends!
Try to apply in the early rounds as there is less competition as well as scholarships. Highlight your leadership skills/ experiences through your essays.

I also agree that this GMAT score would most likely be sufficient enough for most schools you mentioned, if your applications are top notch otherwise. Keep in mind that the applications and essays are also time consuming so spending more time on improving your GMAT score is likely to take time away from that.puja216 wrote:Hello, I recently gave the GMAT.

That said, it's hard for me to evaluate your profile properly based on the things you mentioned alone as your description is a bit short but feel free to use our Admissions Chances Calculator for me or someone else at ARINGO to be able to give you a more thorough evaluation of it: https://aringo.com/mba-admission-chances-calculator/
Good luck!

Your current GMAT score and profile should hold you in good stead at ISB, NTU, and HKUST (assuming strong applications). The SP Jain PGPM requires a minimum of 5 years experience, so you may not be eligible for that (SPJCM does offer a global MBA at less experience though, but not sure if that is the one you are looking at).

I think your GMAT is strong enough for you to apply. I would say that if you do plan to apply for next fall, I would really try to get my applications done by the Jan deadlines as R2 is the last big application push. It becomes much harder to get spots in R3.puja216 wrote:Hello, I recently gave the GMAT.
