You profile looks good. Hoping that in 8 years of work experience, part of it also includes showcasing managerial competencies.
Nail a competitive GMAT/GRE and make strong application. You will potentially have a great chance to convert these schools.

One question regarding application.
As there is roles and achievements and sop .

Can there be any overlap between the two ? Or ideally there should be fresh content in both .

Kindly advise .

Yes there can be an overlap. You will have to use some of the achievements or roles to build your narrative in SOP. So some overlap is quite possible and acceptable.

Kindly advise .

Roles and achievements should tie in to the big picture, which is the SOP. For example, you may list 3 achievements in the former prompt first but choose to build upon the one achievement that is most relevant to your goals and build a case for yourself in the SOP.

Another way to ensure minimum overlap in the narrative is to view roles and achievements as addressing the "what" while using the SOP for addressing the "why" and "how".

Hi utoniumLearns,
You should target 665+ to be on a safer side.

Academics - The marks are goof throughout, so its not a concern

Work Experience - The work in Health start up will be interesting to highlight as IIMB is known for entrepreneurship and they will value this. For the software engineering experience, Tiger Analytics is well known organisation but you will have to highlight specific achievements as there are many applicants from software engineering.

Volunteering - This experience is good, will be adding value to your application.

Overall, a good profile. Need to find some differentiation point in your software engineering role and score slightly high than average in GMAT, preferably more than 665.

Best of luck.

Hi trivaydi,

The IIT pedigree, CFA qualification, and stable career graph will add value to your overall case. One thing we would recommend is a GMAT retake; any improvement will add value to your overall case.

We encourage you to inquire with us so we can schedule a free strategy session for guiding you.

Thanks and all the best!

Hi NiveditaDW, you have a good background and experience, but it will be difficult road to get final selection at 615. There is some chance of shortlist, but final selection will be really difficult as you will have to be extremely outstanding at interview. So, it is highly suggested to improve it by atleast 20-30 points to make the chances better.

That's okay. There is no need to exhaust 200 words. Please look once more if it is 200 words or 200 characters including spaces.
