Most consultants from Big-4 firms have roughly 3-5 years at matriculation. If you apply next year, you're still going to be too young.
Focus on your job. Not on b-school at this point. You're jumping the gun.

Agree. Almost 99% of successful applicants have some work experience. Odds are heavily against you. It is better to have a work experience of atleast 2-3 years before applying.

Hi,
Congratulations on your GMAT score!
I agree that you will have to focus on your job now.
It is too early for an MBA at this stage for you, simply because you will not have the relevant experience to benefit from an MBA program.
There are MBAs for recent graduates with work experience between 0-2 years. However, it depends greatly on your long-term goals whether this is worth the investment.
Let me know if you would like to have an online session to discuss your goals and profile in more detail.
Kind regards,

GMAT score is decent. IIT brand will also help. Extra currics are also somewhat decent.
But if you are targeting fall 2014, you will apply in 2013 with only 1 yr of experience.
We strongly recommend waiting for 1 more year and applying in 2014. Try to get some solid workplace achievements and build a few extra currics in the meantime.
Get into client related roles and try to get early promotions of possible.
Hope this helps.
