Hi Blackblue,

Everything looks good with your profile from ISB admissions point of view. Focus on GMAT and target a 700+ or so. A lot will depend on your essays especially goals one.

Hi blackblue,

You have a very decent profile. The balance between extra currics and progression at work is perfect. There are 2 factors apart from those already mentioned are important for candidates especially from IT industry:

1. GMAT score. Since your XII and undergrad performance is decent, and you belong to a very competitive pool, you need to show consistency and you need to stand out. So try to score at least a 720 to be better than the average.

2. International experience. You haven't mentioned whether you have international experience and how much.
