Background: 5 years of government job experience in Indian Railways as Junior Engineer(Maintenance).My job is to supervise the overall Maintenance a train which is performed by a group of 20 subordinates.So the major task is to distribute work among my staff and manage them on daily basis.
Graduation (B. Tech in Mechanical Engg.)- 6.9/10(Pune University)
12th Standard - 83.33%
10th standard- 91%

Hi pmehare7,

Thanks for sharing your profile.

Your profile is good, with the diversity of handling complex operations in Railway Maintenance. This job requires a lot of time and mental effort and you learn to face any challenging situation.

Outside work, your academics are about average. Since you have not mentioned about extra curricular activities, its difficult to judge the profile holistically.

But, given the information available, you can have realistic chances of getting into ISB at GMAT 690 onward. But you are still aiming to get a score, so aim high - around 720 maybe.

Hope it helped.

Profile is great. Since the graduation scores are a bit less, aim for a score that is closer to ISB’s average. In any case, give your best shot and do not have these artificial targets in mind while attempting. Aim to get each question right in the exam :) What are your post MBA goals?
You can also target the IIMs’ one-year programs if you’re planning to take the GMAT in the test center. Feel free to reach out in case of further questions. Feel free to reach out to discuss further.

Cheers,
Manan

Hello, please evaluate my profile for ISB. I will be taking GMAT on 6th of October and aim to apply for Round 2
Background: 8 months of work experience at Qualcomm as an Associate Engineer. I worked with the Qualcomm US team on projects related to 5G and IOT.
Thereafter, I have a 2 year gap due to UPSC preparations where I could reach up to the interview round.
Currently, I have a 4 year government job experience as an Assistant Manager at General Insurance Corporation of India (India's national reinsurer and 13th largest reinsurer in the world). My work is related to Engineering and Property Claims handling where I work with clients from Australia, Japan and North America. I am currently guiding 2 new hires in my team.
Graduation (B. Tech in Electrical and Electronics Engg.)- 8.84/10(NITK Surathkal)
12th Standard - 93.80%
10th standard- 96%
Extracurriculars : I have 2 published novels, one of which did fairly well. I have earlier received scholarships from Government of India and TATA.
What score should I aim & What are my chances? Suggestions if any will be appreciated. Would it be prudent to apply outside India considering my profile?

Hi shreyanshankit,

You have a wonderful profile! Exposure of 5G and IOT in private sector and government experience in insurance sector. Academics are brilliant. And a published novel is like icing on the cake!!

Get anything above 690 in GMAT and justify your UPSC gap well in essays and interviews, and you will be through, without an iota of doubt!

You can apply outside if you wish to work outside.

Best wishes.

B.E in Computer Science (2014 -2018) : 8.35 CGPA
12th Boards : 83.33 %
10th Boards : 91 %
Currently working with Dell Technologies as a Software Engineer 2 for the Global Ecommerce Project ( Dell Premium )
Preceding that , I was working with Mindtree Limited ( Part of L & T Group ) for 3.9 years as Full Stack Engineer. As Mindtree is a service based company, I was working with American Express Global Business Travel (AEGBT). I worked on the Travel domain for all the regions like APAC, EMEA and America for their online corporate travel booking System and invoicing System.
I also have been an active part and volunteer of National Service Scheme during College days and I have also been an active participant in college dance, badminton and debate group.
What score should I aim for and what are my chances?
Would it be a profile which I can go with for applications outside India?
