IMO a score of 660 would be on the lower side for IT profile. However much depends on the application package you create and the quality of the work experience you bring to the table. If possible, you can retake the exam. You have lot of time I guess.

the thing about ISB is.. it has way too many applicants..

all the iim rejects or iim asipirants and those who didnt get into a top 30 b school abroad apply here.. and i mean thousands and thousands in india.

but with a 660 i think u can get into some decent american schools..

why not try that..

my cousin went to isb with a 720.. a former chartered accountant.. she said it was a good program..

but check out some top 30 u.s. schools for sure. isb is aight. its good for indian standards.
