Sujth,
Another thing you could consider is delaying your application in order to focus on the GMAT. Two to three months is enough time for most to improve their score, but if you need more time, another year of experience would probably help your profile anyway.

I definitely don't recommend applying this year with a 550 but I could give you advice on how to improve the score and work on your profile so it's ready to be competitive when you do apply.

Good luck and contact me if you want to discuss further.

Hi Sujith,

I agree with the above posts here, to get into a good Business School 550 with an Indian IT background is too low. I would also recommend you to retake your GMAT and aim for 680+ GMAT score to get into a top global business school.

However, you also have option of low ranked B-Schools where you can also apply with your current GMAT Score. Please send us your resume or detailed profile description through PM.

You may also gauge your chances of getting admission to top business school by trying this amazing tool https://bit.ly/1C9o2Md

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
