You graduated from a good Indian University that many would consider below an IIT but above an NIT in ranking. Combine that with say a 730-740 GMAT score gives you a competitive profile.

Considering your background is diverse from the average Indian IT applicant, I would say that INSEAD (France) and LBS would be stretch schools and HEC Paris, Oxford Said, Cambridge Judge, and IESE would be target schools in Europe. Within Asia INSEAD (Singapore) again is a stretch school with all other schools being either target or safety, including ISB, Nanyang Business School, National University of Singapore Business School, CEIBS, etc. Within the U.S. you are looking at the Top 8-15 U.S. schools as doable stretch schools with schools roughly in the 16-20 as target schools.

Good luck,

"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."
