I have an experience of 7 years Work ex in Top Indian Energy PSU and have a GMAT Focus of 725. All the academic grades are high but not from IIT/NIT. I do not have any substantial Extra curricular activity record. What are my chances of admit?

If you are asking this question specific to INSEAD, then you will need international exposure / orientation. which is a key admission criterion at INSEAD.
It will be hard to assess your chances of an admit with the little info you have provided here, but feel free to reach out for a more in depth profile evaluation

Well done on the GMAT. Some further details can help assess your profile better. For example:

1. What functions/ domains have you worked in? Were there promotion(s)?

2. Which college was your undergrad from?

3. Are there any activities have you been involved in besides work/ acads?

International exposure is valued by schools such as INSEAD. Having said that, a common mistake I see applicants make is restricting this angle to 'in-person work abroad'. While this would be great, international exposure can also include other angles such as working with remote teams, attending conferences, traveling abroad, etc.

Hope this helps a bit. Feel free to reach out for a deeper chat.

Arvind

Hey, SMDN


Your GMAT score and work experience are definitely strong points. But it’s important to remember that business schools look at the whole picture. They focus on your test scores and consider your professional achievements, leadership skills, personal story, and how well you fit into the program. It would be great to fill in any gaps, like extracurricular activities or international exposure. It would be really helpful if you could also share more details about your profile, such as your educational background and what goals you’re aiming for.

Hi SMDN
I am Priyanka, Client Manager at ARINGO. Speaking about your profile, with 7 years of experience in a leading Indian Energy PSU and a GMAT FE score of 725, you’re in a strong position for MBA applications.

Do you have leadership roles or significant project involvement? While not being from an IIT/NIT isn’t an issue, the lack of ECs could be a minor gap in your profile. Think about something that helps your profile stand out amidst the pool of applicants. You will have to highlight your professional achievements and present a clear vision for your post-MBA goals.

Feel free to connect for a detailed discussion.

Hello SMDN,

Congratulations on a stellar GMAT score.

Having said the above, INSEAD has a strong preference for either international exposure or entrepreneurial experience; hence, you must apply to INSEAD only if you have either of two.

All the best!
