I suggest you to join TCS for employment experience. Before being a good manager, you have to be a good employee.
Further you can even get your MBA through e-learning platform as well. If you want to get MBA while working, then go here- www.university18.edu.in

You'll need more than a paid internship. If you have a job offer that works for you (TCS) then that would be the best choice. You need solid work experience, projects, promotions for at least two years, preferably three. You can't do anything about your GPA but you should try to improve your GMAT before applying to schools. In short, get some real work experience first and then you'll have a better idea of what you want to do and where you want to go. You have to be ready for an MBA in every way.

I totally agree! And don't forget about volunteer experience too! GEt a few good solid years of that (Ideally with some leadership inside too)

what does a 6.5/10 translate to?
My goal is to make MBA applicants take onus over their process.
