Hello Experts
I need your expert advice about my chances of getting into IIM Indore EPGP programme.

)

Highest score :- 620 ( In 2017)
10th percentage :- 80%
12th Percentage :- 65%
Degree :- B.Tech (IT)
College :- 7.01 CGPA (Will boil down to 63-65% )
College Name : - LPU (Private University)
Number of years of experience :- 6
Am i working as of now :- NO
**I left my job 2 months back to start focusing on my dream to open restraunt and I am currently in line with family business to scale up. After considering every aspect my plan is not working alas! Hence I am in dilemma
My Job experience :- I have worked as software developer (3 years 3 months) and then was promoted to business Analyst. Rest of my stint (2 year 7 months) was as a Business Analyst. I have switched 3 companies as of now. In my most recent role I was team lead of 4 Business Analyst (All were freshly graduated from IIM-U , IIM Kashipur etc). My team lead stint was for 6 months in a startup.
Why MBA :- I am seeking a role Management Consultant in business strategy domain of IT industry . Over my 6 years of experience in Managing Business Solutions for Automotive, Apparel & Consumer Goods Industry , I had a chance to work closely with end customers and stake holders. I even got a chance to build an application right from the start so I do know what are the intricacies attached starting from Planning , development and final delivery of the project. IMO MBA will provide me a broad knowledge about different tangents attached to an Industry, helping me to get better insights of a business and take more appropriate actions accordingly.
My questions :-
1) Should I go ahead and apply for IIM Indore and focus more on my Application ? What are my chances for the same , considering I have been average from the start.
2) Should I re-attempt ? (Please note that I have exhausted all the materials as of now and I don't know where to start from)
3) Should i continue with my Entrepreneurial stint / go back to job and again re attempt GMAT under strict guidance.
PS:- For the most recent GMAT i studied for 2 months (5-6 Hrs a day ) but I think the direction was not clear.
Looking forward to have a discussion on the same.
Thanks
