Some of the good programs:
HBS 2+2
LBS MiM
IESE 2+2
Duke MMS

My main aim is GMAT right now.

I don't think language would be a problem as such.

Cool! thanks!

vaibhavgupta, thanks for your question.

On this forum, I am not permitted to give general feedback on your CV, but I am empowered to provide guidance on specific questions you have.

With regard to a GMAT score, there is not score that will guarantee you admission to any program. Typically, a 700 overall score with 80%+ on both the verbal and quantitative sections will ensure that you are considered.

Of course, applicants with lower scores but strong experience often gain admission, and applicants with 800 GMAT scores are not guaranteed admission. So, it is a holistic view of what you bring to the table that matters.

I hope this helps.

Best,
Brian
