National University of Singapore or NUS may be slightly competitive because mostly aspirants apply there but check website for details. Also send an email to admission of this university get some idea of GMAT score etc. If I would be you I would start commuinicating with possible places and maintain a list on excel sheet with Colleges and GMAT with other factors for admission. ISB is great choice because you seem like a Native born citizen of India so after finishing your MBA program you will not have to worry about sponsorship, job visa and return of investment etc.

One more thing you have 660 GMAT, if you take a little pain, with some preparation give second shot, you have very good chances to go beyond 700 then you can apply almost everywhere. Think about it.
