Hi Govind,

More than anything, you need to justify your need for a second MBA from an Indian b-school.

ISB is an extremely competitive school and while I would not discourage you to apply, you should consider applying to more schools to maximise your chances of admission. And for ISB, if you think you can improve your score by a minimum of 30-40 points, consider deferring your application to R2.

Good Luck and God Bless!!
