I am looking to switch from a core-engineering domain (5 years of experience in Instrumentation Engineering of Petrochemical Plants) to strategy consulting ( I have been a part of such a program conducted by AT Kearney). My GMAT score is 700(Q48, V38). I am looking to apply to the following schools:
1. ISB
2. IIM-A
3. IIM-B
4. IIM-C
5. Rotman School of Management
6. McGill University
7. Schulich School of Business
This is based on my very limited research, I have not included any of the schools from the USA because only 1-year work visa is allowed to MBA grads there. Kindly let me know if there are options I can add. Also if it is possible for you to address, can you please let me know whether 5-year experience requirement posed by IIM-C and IIM-A for their PGPX includes experience as 'Graduate Engineer Trainee', it is common for all core industries to keep the first year for training. Kindly let me know what you think.

For IIMA, think the 1 year Trainee thing would not be a problem. Anyway, the experience required is 4 years now. All the best

Hello vinayakvaish
The designation does not matter (in your case that of a trainee) as long as it was full time employment. So if you have 5+ years of full time employment you are eligible for IIMC. For IIMA you need 4 years. Always check on the website too.
Coming to your profile, the only relevant info we have here is your GMAT score, years of experience and industry.
This is too little for any meaningful feedback.
While your GMAT is competitive for Canadian schools, it is just slightly below average for most Indian B Schools.
So what will make you stand out?
Your career progress, achievements at work, real business impact, contribution in extracurricular activities, diversity yada yada. No mention on any of these. You may want to read here to know what factors matter in your written application.
Lastly, ther is no mention of your career goals my friend. What are your long term/short term plans and why is an MBA an absolute necessity (and that too from these schools). Without a strong narrative here, the profile is not just weak but also incomplete. You can read here to add to your research.
