GMAT : 680

As of now my target school is ISB. Havnt started researching on abroad schools yet.

Can you suggest me the schools where I might have a good chance of making it through ?

Did you graduate from IIT Madras with a 68%? Was the 68% First Class? In either case, you graduated from an excellent undergraduate institution but your GMAT is below the average GMAT at ISB. You still have a good chance due to the IIT brand, but my suggestion is to retake the test and try to get above 700+ to maximize your chances.

Best of luck,
