Hi asheshayushmishra,
First off, a 630/Q47 is a pretty good score (it's just a bit shy of the 80th percentile overall), so it might be enough to get you into your first-choice Business School, especially if you have a strong OVERALL profile. That having been said, many Test Takers spend 3 months (or more) on their studies before they hit their 'peak' scores, so it's likely that you just have not put in enough time and effort yet.
Before I can offer any advice, I'd like to know about how you've studied and your timeline/goals:
1) What materials have you used during your studies?
2) What is your overall score goal?
3) When are you planning to take the GMAT again?
4) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
5) Do you know which Schools you plan to apply to?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

I did around 1month or 40 days of preparation. I had my office, after which I used to study for about 3-4 hours daily.
For preparing for Quant, I used to practice with a timer, aiming at about 60 questions/hr. Last such practice resulted in 60 questions in one hour with abt 6 wrong answers. All of them silly mistakes.
Verbal was relatively more difficult. I had prepared for Verbal for about 15-20 days, out of my complete preparation time.
1- Materials Used-
Magoosh, Sentence Correction Nirvana by Education Aisle,
OG 2015 Math Review Questions and
OG 2015 Verbal Question Bank.
2 - My overall score goal is 720+. Would love to get around the 750 mark.
3 - Planning to take it again on 6th December 2015.
4 - Around Dec end/ Jan begining.
5 - ISB, US state schools - Not completely sure about the schools.
6 - Work Ex - 2yrs
