I am a seasoned professional with over 4.5 years of diverse experience across system engineering and business development. Currently, I serve as a System Engineer at TCS, where I lead critical mainframe security administration and operations tasks. Prior to this, I worked at Acoustics India as a Graduate Engineer Trainee and Business Development Associate, where I successfully managed strategic projects, including the sale of medical oxygen plants during the COVID-19 crisis and high-stakes bidding for ISRO systems. Academically, I have maintained a strong and consistent record with 90% in 10th grade and 80% in both 12th grade and my undergraduate degree in Engineering, completed in May 2021. My immediate goal is to leverage a 1-year Executive MBA from a premier institution like an IIM or ISB to pivot into a leadership role within Cybersecurity Consulting or Fintech Strategy, combining my technical depth with strategic business acumen.

The fintech strategy goal sounds unrelated to anything you have done in your roles so far. It will be hard to convince recruiters and also the admissions committees on this career path. You need to spend some time on your goals story to understand your interest, strengths and fit with any intended post-MBA role.

As you may already be aware, your profile comes from a relatively overrepresented pool (TCS System Engineers). Because of this, it becomes important to clearly differentiate your experience.

Do you have any exposure to areas such as cybersecurity consulting or fintech strategy? Highlighting such experience could help you build a credible bridge between your pre-MBA background and post-MBA goals.

Profiles similar to yours often see good outcomes at programs like IIMC and IIML, given the relatively strong representation of IT professionals in their cohorts.

From a testing perspective, aiming for 655+ on the GMAT Focus Edition would give you a solid chance at these programs.

Feel free to reach out in case you have any further questions.

All the best!
