Hi everyone,
I would really appreciate some advice regarding my profile and future plans.
I graduated in June 2025 with two offer letters from leading companies in the quick commerce industry. However, I decided to take an intentional gap year to prepare for a few competitive examinations. Unfortunately, things did not work out as planned. During this period, I also completed some cloud computing and technology-related courses whenever possible.
Now, almost a year later, I am actively looking to transition back into a full-time role. My primary concern is the one-year gap on my profile and how it may affect both job opportunities and future MBA applications.
Profile Overview
Female | 22
Academics
* Class 10: 93%
* Class 12: 97%
* BA (Hons) Economics, Delhi University (2025) – CGPA: 7.65 (First Division)
Internships
* NITI Aayog – Economics Research Intern (Feb 2025 – Apr 2025)
* InterGlobe Enterprises – Finance Intern (Jun 2024 – Jul 2024)
* Metvy – Management Intern (Sep 2023 – Nov 2023)
Leadership & Positions of Responsibility

Extracurriculars

Given my profile, I would love to hear your thoughts on the following:
1. What are my chances of securing admission to ISB PGP YL?
2. How would you evaluate my profile overall?
3. What are the biggest gaps or weaknesses that I should work on over the next 1–2 years?
4. For someone targeting ISB in the future, would experience in analytics, consulting, research, strategy, or startups be the most valuable?
5. Considering my relatively average undergraduate CGPA, what GMAT/GRE score should I aim for to strengthen my application?
I would be grateful for any candid feedback or suggestions. Thank you!

Now just move on with your story and target a good gmat score first to begin from here.
You are good to go for ISB YL program which requires everything you have plus a good gmat score.
My suggestion,
- Take a job if you can
- Focus on getting good gmat score.
You are a fine candidate on every other parameter. The gap year is just one question that you need to answer authentically when asked.
