To be blunt, you say your English is poor, yet you are hoping for schools to give you scholarships?
I hate to break it to you, but you will have enough trouble getting into those schools you listed, let alone getting money from them.
The other thing is a common misconception about what an MBA is all about amongst those in technical occupations. An MBA isn't about admitting math geniuses. It's not a continuation of your technical career. What made you a great engineer isn't what makes a great manager or boss. That is what b-schools are looking for - those who have leadership/management potential, and oftentimes that has little to do with your ability to do math - and far more to do with your ability to deal with people (of which communication skills is a huge thing, and if you're applying to schools where the language of instruction is English, you are expected to have a strong command of the language).
In any case, if your English is indeed poor, you need to do far more than just read up on grammar books. Language isn't a "technical skill" like learning algebra or calculus where it's all about spelling, grammar, sentence structure, etc. Yes, there's a technical aspect to it, but that's just the beginning - stuff like tone, nuance, attitude, subtext, etc. are subjective aspect of language that you only learn through practical experience and reading a LOT - novels, biographies, etc where you are reading authors who have a command of the language. There isn't a quick fix for this - it'll take years to be honest (and yes, you will see improvements within the first 6-12 months, but such improvements will be smaller than you may expect - it takes patience and time to truly improve your command of a language).
Thanks a lot for your honest comments , actually MBA is imp for me because I want to run my own business.I have a lot of plans to start with , but MBA can accelerate me towards the goal,thats the only reason m looking into that.I graduated in English medium , but I think its poorer in comparison to level abroad thats the only reason I don't want to leave any loop hole in my goal.I m ready to work hard as MBA is the only solution for me.Just need a good plan to start with.
Thanks again for your time.Have a great day.
