You're an IIM grad? I don't think you have anything to worry about!

@above.. if u r trying for MBA, the problem could be with your balance (Verbal<80 percentile) else if ur profile is good enough I think its competent enough for top 10... My case I am trying for Phd where the avg scores are in range of 745 and 760
