Here is how my academic and professional profile look like:
10 CGPA (95%) in Class 10th in 2015

7.94 CPI at IIT Bombay in Civil Engineering (2017-2021)

84% in 1 year degree course in Nuclear Science and Engineering at HBNI (BARC)

Priyanka here from ARINGO. Speaking about your profile, your profile looks solid on the surface especially given the IIT Bombay pedigree + government/strategic projects background. IITB Civil with a ~8 CPI is within ISB’s comfort zone, and your 725 Focus is a major strength that more than compensates for the gap.
Your role as a Scientific Officer at BARC, combined with exposure to nationally strategic infrastructure projects and a formal nuclear engineering credential, gives you a rare public-sector + deep-tech narrative that stands out from the usual private-sector pool. The key work ahead is clarity of transition: you’ll need to clearly explain why consulting, how your experience with large, complex, high-stakes systems translates to consulting problem-solving, and what type of consulting. Focus on building leadership stories beyond technical execution to stand out amidst the pool of applicants.
