Hello everyone

I'm Avnish Thakkar.

I was able to score 6.75 CPI in my Bachelor's of Mechatronics engineering from Sardar Patel University, Gujarat.

I was placed with Aerospace and defence business of Larsen & Toubro Ltd. For 4.5 yrs I have worked as Project Management and on-site commissioning professional on ISRO's projects. Since last 3.75 yrs I have been working as Manufacturing professional for BrahMos missiles systems. In sum I have experience of 8 yrs and 2 months for Aerospace and defence industry. My present designation is Manager, Advanced Composite Production.

I have done diploma in performing arts, Drama from Maharaj Sayaji Rao University, Gujarat.

I have recently scored 317 in GRE. 320 was last year average.

I'm interested in fine tuning my business acumen, with this course. Want to use those skills to make India's Aerospace and Defence sector self reliant.

Can you please help me to assess the profile?

Hi Greenbeans

There is a seperate thread for Profile evaluation. Better use that.

However, sharing my two cents here; Profile and GMAT score both look good. Building a strong application and impactful essays should be your focus now. Remember, with 15 years of experience, you have to show your maturity, ability to contribute to the class and clarity of thought.

Regards,
Tridisha
