The highest score you can get.

You really want to get something over 650, preferably over 680 if you want to go to a top-tier business school in the UK. Probably 700 for LBS plus additional experience.

Best,
Linda

B,
As an Indian IT applicant, you are in one of the most competitive applicant pools for top MBA programs. Therefore, I would shoot for an even higher score than what Linda suggestion. At least a 700 to help stay competitive with your applicant pool.
