I had applied for the first time in 2020 with the score from that year’s GMAT which was sent to ISB. I am re-applying with the same score this year. Do I have to send ISB the score again?

Hello anwesharath
Overall profile looks strong, especially if you can make the target score a reality.
The slightly lower years of work ex means you will have to answer why you feel you are ready right now to attend ISB.
Other than that, work ex (with the achievements), extracurricular look decent. Will now depend on how you portray the overall narrative in the essays.
I'd recommend close to a month for a decent application, but the reality will also depend on many other factors (how busy/free you are in your personal/professional life, the quality of work you put in, how ready you are with the answers to why MBA etc.) 1 LOR needs to be submitted.
