Captain,
Any adcom is going to wonder how a 57% qualifies as honors. Don't highlight this.
You have leadership skills & have accomplished much. Here's your ticket. Anyone who has managed a battalion & artillery has awesome skills. Let these be the thread tying your application together.

To me your GMAT score & academic history seem lackluster; focus on displaying your work/leadership/personality.

I know that I have not performed brilliantly in grads but i did get a 77 % in 12th and has also performed well in my artillery specific course. Moreover i did take part in a lot extra curricular activities. Thanks for the advice and i will try to utilise my work experience as a strong reason for my selection .
