sumitsarkar420: Strong profile overall. Some points:
1. GMAT and school grades are strong and would compensate for the lower GPA and lack of strong undergrad pedigree. A well-balanced academic record and professional experiences (next point) would be your strong suit in my view.
2. The professional experience at MoD is unique and the HR angle to it is interesting. What were your role(s) and how was the career progression through the 7 year journey so far? The defence sector is undergoing a major transition as you would know, and your profile, if positioned right, can highlight key aspects of your understanding of the sector and relevant functions within it. In other words, identifying key achievements in your roles, what you learned from them and how they link to your post-MBA goals (next point) would be key.
3. Since you haven't mentioned your post-MBA goals, would suggest having clarity on your target sector, function, geography and ideally also companies. Prioritizing schools (since you also mentioned foreign 1-year MBAs) and rounds would then be based on (weighted) preferences across these dimensions. Overall though, applying this year with this profile has more benefits than waiting for a year more.
4. ECs seem a bit old during college time - any involvement in ECs after that? These doesn't necessarily have to be a formal club or NGO: any interest area or hobby that you are engaged in can work too. The important part would be to highlight your (hopefully consistent) involvement in these activities, what you learned thereby and how these learnings can translate to your journey in/ post MBA.
Hope this helps. Feel free to reach out for a detailed chat.
