Hi Bikram,

Your overall profile is pretty good. 4 years of work ex should stand you good. An 84% from an Indian engineering school is an excellent percentage. your GMAT score is also decent, but when compared to other Indian students who apply for similar schools, it becomes a little plaid.

However, there are some schools in your list which should be a reach for you. We suggest that with a solid application and excellent LORs, you have a decent shot at the top 20-10 Group.

We are not evaluating your chances at the schools listed, as we highly encourage our clients to be focussed and specific about schools rather than have an extensive list from which they later choose (and sometimes end up getting confused as well). Please do write in to us if you need more help on a particular school's evaluation.
