Ram,
why do you want an MBA?
Please post a little more detail about your goals to give the others here a little more perspective. Your GMAT, GPA and employment industry by itself reveals very little.
You're interested in Finance. Ok, is that what you're looking to do post-MBA? IB, Research, Corporate Treasury?

I am actively into Investing and part of Investing Clubs in India. Can u tell me is it possible for me to move from this Software and take up Finance?

My advice to you is to purchase How to Get Into the Top MBA Programs by Richard Montauk, and read it through. Sorry if you have already read it.

You need to think about your goals a little more seriously, Ram. And emphasize how you will make yourself stand out from other IT industry folks considering to make a switch to banking.
Based on the little information you've provided no one can give you a reasonable assessment of your chances.
If you just want names of schools to research for starters, look at NYU Stern, Rochester Simon and Cornell Johnson if banking is indeed what you want to do.

no where near enough details to really give you an idea. Dont convert your GPA, from what I know a 78% is very good from the top indian schools. Your GMAT is going to be low for your demographic, indian IT types seem to be among the highest scoring. Your career could be a huge plus or minus depending on who you work for and what you do.

However, I do not do profile reviews, don't offer predictions on chances and am far to busy to review essays, so save the energy of writing me a PM seeking help for these. If I don't respond to a PM that is not one of the previously mentioned trash can destined messages, please don't take it personally I get so many messages I have a hard to responding to most. The more interesting, compelling, or humorous you message the more likely I am to respond.
