Hi Arun

Even with a 660, you are actually quite well set to apply to 3 of the schools you mention, with the possible exception of Nanyang (though we had a couple of people getting in with exactly a 660 last year). Perhaps try and expand your list a bit further too - look at the IIMA PGPX, IIMB EPGP, and IIMC PGPEX as further options.
