Hi,
The following is my profile:

Nationality: India
SSC: 82.5%
HSC: 95.5%
M Sc (Hons.) Economics & MMS, Bits Pilani - (CGPA 8.23 / 10)

Total IT Experience : 10.6 Years (currently Lead ERP Consultant); worked with IBM and Oracle India)
Total International Experience: 1 Year

Reason for MBA
Earlier, did have interest in Finance and Investment Banking not sure whether it is still late to pursue
I wish to move into Top Management role on the corporate strategy / Management Consulting side and would solicit your advice on the same.

Also, I wish to know whether it is better to take up normal or executive MBA and whether to look for the same from Indian / US / European B-schools.
Also, in addition, what schools should I target and the needed GMAT score ?

Thanks & Regards,
Raj.

Raj--with 10+ years in the field and being in the Indian applicant pool, I would be targeting executive MBA programs. As for where, you should consider where your desired work locale will be post MBA and consider going to school near there, since the network you get from b-school will be one of your most critical assets. consulting firms will likely be attracted to your experience and so I don't anticipate your having any trouble getting a job after school, but these other considerations are important for your long term career development. A good GMAT is actually not as critical for executive programs as it is for full time, but if you do apply to schools which require the GMAT, you should try to get as high a score as possible, since your applicant pool does indeed have a very high average GMAT.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
