Hi
raj94knp hope this finds you well
Your profile is decent, and I must commend you on your solid quant score. However, I would like to provide you with a few points of advice that could further enhance your application.
1.
Demonstrate Growth Progression: 7 years is a long time to be with one company. You must showcase your incremental growth and development during this time. As you may be aware, PSU applicants often face challenges in presenting themselves as go-getters due to the limited opportunities for promotion and workplace stagnation. You should take up this challenge to rise above generally accepted norms and craft your story in a way that leaves a lasting impact on the admissions committee. Highlight instances where you've taken initiative, pursued additional responsibilities, or showcased leadership qualities that go beyond the norm.
2. Move Beyond Technical Details: One common pitfall I've observed among PSU applicants, particularly those from the O&G sector, is getting lost in the technical aspects of their projects.
Taking a bullet from your profile as an example: "Conceptualized and implemented an energy conservation scheme that enabled the extraction of energy from a hot stream to its full potential, reducing fresh oil consumption in the unit (Saving US$ 700K annually)."
While the cost-saving aspect is impressive, you must delve deeper and convey the broader significance of your work in an MBA application context. Share the challenges you faced while designing and conceptualizing the technical process. Explain the impact of reducing "fresh oil consumption", not only in terms of numbers but also in terms of sustainability, environmental impact, or operational efficiency. Infuse purpose into your resume bullets and narratives, intertwining them with your passion and higher objective that drives your actions towards your future long term/short term goals.
Hope this helps.
