Hi,
Myself Vaishnav S. I have currently 5+ years of experience as a software developer. I have worked with two well-known MNCs. Academic wise my 10th is at 95%, 12th at 97.25% and graduated from Top Govt Engineering college in Kerala. Professional wise I have a good profile of achievements.
I would like to pursue 1 year executive MBA from Tier-1 MBA colleges only from India. Target B-schools are ISB, IIMA, IIMB, IIMC, IIML, IIMI and XLRI,
Based on my profile, what should be the minimum recommended score I should get in GMAT Focus Edition?
It would be helpful if you could elaborate a bit more on your work experience—for example, the companies you have worked with, your roles and responsibilities, and whether you have had any leadership or team management experience.
Since your background falls within a relatively overrepresented pool (software developers), it would be important to aim for a competitive score on GMAT FE, ideally 655+.
Additionally, you should clearly articulate your post-MBA goals, and ensure that your overall application presents a coherent and well-thought-out narrative.
Feel free to reach out in case you have any further questions.
All the best!
