Courses to boost MBA Application

Question

Hi All, 
GMAT score: 750
BTech in Computer Engineering(2016-2020) NSIT, Delhi: 7.60/10 
Current Work Ex: around 13 months software developer at Flipkart and planning to go for MBA in 2024.
I dont have much extra curricular activities during college or some notable leadership experience.

I was wondering if doing a few courses from sites like  Coursera, Udemy  etc could help in boosting up resume for MBA application? 
If yes, which courses should be helpful in this regard?

Moreover, is getting  Six Sigma Certification  (say, green belt or any), going to help in this?

That's A really good score 
Congrats on that.

You might be depressed to know that you represent an overcrowded pool - Inidan - Male - software Engineer. 
Hence doing whatever you can do to stand out from that pool would definitely help. 
Lucky enough you've enough time.

P.S. may be souvik can give me better insights on the same.

Hi,

That's a great GMAT score. 
Let me give you some suggestions on building your profile over the coming years.
1. work related achievements are most important as they help you build a solid CV. Take initiatives and additional responsibilities that help you make impact - help the company earn revenues/ cut costs. Eventually when you write your resume, you will need to quantify everything so this is important. Basically step above your defined role to do extra projects that your colleagues aren't doing.

2. ECAs- get involved in interest groups/ NGO/ entrepreneurial projects (that align with your career goals). These dont have to be started by you but you can still contribute to someone else's entrepreneurial ideas.

3. Also, get involved in leadership positions within your company- head a committee and do some good work. These are great opportunities to show initiative and leadership.

4. Coursera/ six sigma certification and others should be done if you are interested in them or they help you perform better at work. They will add least value to you for profile building, so don't do them just for the sake of it.

Hope that helps.
