A highly accomplished Scientific Officer with 3.3 years of high-impact leadership in Civil Infrastructure Management at NPCIL (Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd.). Proven ability to manage mission-critical assets, lead technical teams, and enforce strict regulatory compliance. Achieved academic distinction (\boldsymbol{8.66} CGPA) from IIT Kharagpur. Seeking an MBA to pivot from technical management to Strategic Consulting, Project Finance, or Infrastructure Investment to lead global, large-scale energy and infrastructure development.
You have a differentiated and high-impact profile with over 3 years at NPCIL, where you’ve managed critical civil infrastructure and led teams in a highly regulated, technically complex environment. That experience offers strong leadership and problem-solving credibility, especially for consulting or infrastructure-focused roles. While your IIT Kharagpur degree adds academic strength, the 6.66 GPA is on the lower side, so a strong GMAT (675+) will be crucial to demonstrate academic readiness. The career pivot to consulting or infrastructure investment is logical—just ensure your essays clearly connect your technical expertise to strategic decision-making and business outcomes. With your niche background, you’ll stand out in the applicant pool.
Highlighting your leadership, professional achievements/tangible impact, relevant skills, career goals, unique experiences, and fit with the program effectively will be crucial in crafting a compelling application. To maximize your chances, consider applying to a balanced mix of reach, target, and safety schools.
