Bravo for the solid score - it does help you offset (to some extent) the weak GPA. I hope you did your due diligence before concluding retail as the post-MBA industry, which doesn't hire international MBAs, nor does it sponsor H1B. I could go on with a few more pointers, but I suspect the arrow has left the bow.

I did. That's why it's retail/manufacturing.

From what I know, even the manufacturing sector does not sponsor H1B. I suggest you look up data on companies that sponsor H1B on the USCIS website to assure yourself if you are doing any self-harm w.r.t. target industry selection.

Ha! Great job - congrats on being a GMAT person! Great to see you here.
Good point about Retail - it does not hire much in general and yes, i guess H1B also a bit of an issue....
Is 3.11 a converted GPA? You usually you do not need to do that if your GPA is in a 10.0 format but I am weak in Indian GPA 😇

Thank you, BB. GMAT club DI tests did wonders in my last leg of prep when I was out of resources.
Yes. Indian CGPA is 7.77/10
Considering the low intake by retail, I have shown flexibility to show interest in both e-commerce and manufacturing. Fingers crossed.
