somewhat unconventional profile.
Your academics are strong (88/88/83) and being a Marine Engineering Gold Medalist from MERI Kolkata definitely stands out. The profile also has variety: merchant navy → PSU bank → Ministry of Defence, which makes you more differentiated.
Extracurriculars especially youtube is good.
The biggest issue is probably career coherence.
What is the underlying story here? What is the long-term direction?
Without a convincing narrative, this can feel random rather than intentional. You will need a strong answer for: Why these transitions? Why MBA now? What exactly are you trying to become post-MBA?
Second, your work experience is somewhat breadth-heavy but may look light on depth/leadership unless there are strong impact stories. For example:
Did you lead initiatives in the PSB role?
Any measurable impact in lending/operations/audits?
Stakeholder management?
Team handling or process improvements. These matter a lot.
GRE 322 (161/161) is decent and keeps you competitive.
If you are targeting top 1-year programs, my honest take:
One thing I would strongly push you on is post-MBA clarity. Generic goals like consulting/management may not land well here because your profile already has multiple transitions. The post-MBA story has to feel believable.
