NUS, HKUST for Finance. You may also wish to research NTU. ISB not particularly known for Finance but a good brand in SE Asia. Up europe, some B-schools in London would be good to apply too. LBS will be a stretch for your profile but Oxford Said is a good brand and within reach.

Hi Rohit,

Your profile looks decent as you will cross 4 yrs by the time you will join a b school next year.
Also, there are fewer applicants from this kind of background from India.

An year of international experience ( Singapore) will help especially with Singaporean schools.

Look at HKUST, NUS, Nanyang & HKU.
Keep ISB as a backup. ISB has fewer finance jobs but people from finance background can manage cracking good financial services, derivative trading kind of jobs.

Look at HEC also. UK might be challenging given the work visa issues.

Your first target should be NUS as it has rolling admissions.

Feel free to contact us for any queries.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
