P.S.:
I know the top MiM Programs in Europe won’t accept me because of the GMAT score.
But would like to know which universities would accept considering the GMAT score and how strong is my profile for these universities.
Also, would like to know the ideal IELTS score for these programs.
Please let me know if I should provide some additional info.
Thanks & regards,

Priyanka here from ARINGO. Speaking about your profile, I see a well-rounded early career profile, good academics, solid engineering background, and some nice extracurricular leadership that shows you’re more than just a numbers guy.
The 545 GMAT Focus falls on the lower end for top MiM programs like INSEAD or ESSEC, but IE might still be within reach since they tend to take a more holistic view if the rest of your profile is strong. Are you looking for a retake? If you can push your GMAT score to 600+, it would make a big difference across the board.
Your work experience at Havells is relevant and shows strong industry exposure, and your mix of social work and leadership roles adds nice balance. For IELTS, shoot for at least a 7.5 overall to stay competitive.

Mrunal here from Involve Consulting.
I think you have an interesting profile - especially with around the extra-curriculars and leadership . However, if you’re looking to target elite programs - INSEAD, IE or ESSEC, a higher GRE/GMAT score would be be recommended - but with the current one, IE or ESSEC seem within reach. At Involve, we have a 5 pronged framework to profile evaluation validated by the B-School experts and you are already excellent in 1 and good in another - so we would need to work deeper in understanding your profile to highlight where you can stand out for these colleges and rank higher in other 3 areas.
Let us know if you need a free Profile Evaluation - we can highlight areas you can highlight in your profile and in this call, we can also recommend other colleges that would fit your professional goals.
