Consider the following points babaji31:
  1. For reasons mentioned here, we do not speculate on school selection. That said, the non-common nature of your profile should definitely elicit a favorable initial response.
  2. On the experience front, it will be important to understand how you have differentiated against your peers at GAIL for instance as well as what are your post-MBA plans. The GMAT score will be pretty important aspect too and you should aim high there given your IIT peer group average.
  3. While your ECs look good in college, there doesn't seem to be anything after that? Recency effect is pretty important and with nothing in past 3-4 years, you may not get much credit for those.
Hope this helps some.

Cheers,
