Your profile is pretty good however it will not stand out unless you can really highlight your differentiating factors. Your scores fall within the range of most top universities however as MBA admissions become increasingly competitive, it is important to have a "wow" factor to make you stand out from the crowd. You need to focus on outstanding areas of work experience or interesting extracurriculars in addition to demonstrating that you can handle the academic load of a top university.

Hi A,
Thanks for your post. Unfortunately I am not too familiar with MBA programs in India. Are you considering programs in the US?

Regards,

"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."
