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.
