Hey there,


Overall you have a pretty good profile, here are some pointers about the same:

Your academic certifications from Harvard can be a differentiating factor. Schools are always on the lookout for people from different backgrounds to improve the diversity of the cohort, hence if you pitch your certifications properly it will definitely add value to your application.
Your 10th and 12th Marks do not matter for Masters abroad, your UG GPA is decent and college rank has weightage though. So do mention details about it.
Extracurriculars look interesting. NGO experience helps but remember that Adcoms are interested in impact created rather than just participation. So when you talk about social volunteering, mention the impact you created ( Eg: No.of kids educated).
Even your internship experience makes your application stand out to make sure to highlight the initiatives taken by you during your internship.
Your essays will play a vital role in highlighting your story. You can use this space to highlight what made you want to pursue a management degree. If you are able to highlight the right stories through your essays, more than half of the battle is won. Also, all the accomplishments and your participation in different competitions tell about your proactiveness, willing to learn, teamwork and a lot of other qualities.

Also, Your GMAT score plays a major role in your it would help you to outrun most of the competitive profiles in the first initial overview itself. So try to maximize it a score of 700+ would definitely help you make your profile stronger, make sure you work hard on it.

As for your target program, the Harvard 2+2 MBA program is very competitive make sure you ace every part of the application (essays, GMAT, LOR, resume) to get noticed. The Median GMAT score for 2019 batch was 740 but you have a strong profile and can definitely apply for the program.

The collegiate stats you provided look solid, but they aren't the whole story for HBS 2+2. Besides the obvious GMAT or GRE (median 2+2 GMAT for HBS for class of 202 was 740 - higher than the score for the general MBA population), there is a LOT more to your profile. I would love to help you out, without more info it's gonna be hard. Where do you see yourself working in the two years between college and MBA? In what sort of function? What do you do medium-term and long-term post-MBA? What are your great achievements & passions? Do you have a notable community service among the extra-curriculars (hard to tell from the above list)? Why are you applying?

I like the way you've emphasized the IMPACT of your extracurriculars (e.g., "converted 200 students") and you should keep doing that whenever possible. Schools care about leadership and actually making a difference than mere association / participation with something great. But there are still a lot of important questions to answer - Why did you found the clubs you started -- do you have the kind of leadership story where you saw an opportunity that no one else saw? Or, did you ever do something within the engineering world that grabbed the attention of the BUSINESS/FINANCE people at your school or in your community and made em say things like "Wait, what department are you in? ENGINEERING/IT??" All of these will play important roles in your evaluation selling these stories correctly will be hugely important in your application so you need to think carefully about how you use the precious 2+2 application space to explain yourself.

If you can land (or talk about seeking) a position outside of IT (say in banking or consulting), that might be a good strategy. Most of the applicants applying from India are in IT and competition is fierce from your geography. HBS' class is only 37% international (outside U.S). 14% of the class of 2020 is from the Asian continent, with China, India and Pakistan greatly overrepresented. If you decide to work for a few years and then apply, you'll find that most top-10 US b-schools aim for ~20-40% non-US students. One of the tricks is knowing what makes your profile distinct (and in our experience, the majority of otherwise-qualified candidates MISFIRE here, either by identifying the wrong unique traits, or by getting the trait right, but selling it wrong). But there's an even SIMPLER way to differentiate: having clear and achievable post-MBA goals, with bulletproof plans. "Doesn't that go without saying"? Yes. And, the vast majority of international applicants (well, all applicants actually) SHANK THIS. So, to be able to compel the adcom that you have so clearly identified the value of an MBA for you at this point in your life, and understand exactly how you're gonna exploit it toward specific short-term goals... is to take a major step ahead of your competition. Harder than it sounds. Much. But doable. Now, do this AND make your differentiators come to life, and you're gonna SAIL past your competition. Indians, Chinese and Pakistani students are overrepresented among international students and, as you might imagine, this is a particularly dizzying challenge for that crew. But, as long as you do those two things (have clear/logical/achievable goals, and identify/sell your unique traits), you're gonna be golden. We've seen thousands of international applicants sink into this universal quicksand, but we've gotten em all out, hah. We've developed a sixth sense over the years helping international folks in particular make their case.
