Hi, pls review my profile:
10th – 10 CGPA
12th – 94.6%
Undergrad – 8.6 CGPA, Mechanical Engineering, PSG
I currently work at Mahindra in Vehicle Architecture/Product Development and have ~5 years of experience. I’ve had two promotions relatively early in my career and have worked across multiple vehicle programmes, including BE 6, XEV 9e, XEV 9s and XUV 7XO. Currently leading 5 projects.
I also have 3 patents and have received multiple Mahindra Excellence Awards for my work. My experience is primarily in vehicle architecture, ergonomics, packaging, vehicle integration and cross-functional programme work.
I have also authored a research paper on vehicle ergonomics.
I also have a 3-month work stint with Magna, Austria, which gave me some international exposure.
Outside work, my profile is quite different from a typical engineering background. I’ve been involved in MUNs for 8+ years, including delegating experience as well as serving as a Delegation Head and Executive Board member. I’m also a portrait painter with exhibition experience and a business based on commissions and have been a lead vocalist for my college band. I also am the lead strategist in my family’s hospitality business.
I’m now considering an MBA to eventually move from core engineering toward product strategy, programme/general management, consulting or entrepreneurship.
I’d like an honest assessment of my chances at the top B schools in India, particularly ISB.
How would my profile be viewed? And what GMAT score should I realistically target for ISB?
Looking for a realistic assessment.
