Additionally, your 6 years of work experience in the Oil and Gas Industry as a Manager at GAIL India Ltd, a PSU, adds value to your profile. Considering your GMAT score of 575 (equivalent to 620 in the old GMAT version), you may target B-schools that align with your profile. Here are some B-schools in India and Europe where you might consider applying:
B-schools in India:
1. Indian Institute of Management (IIM) - Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Calcutta, Lucknow, Indore, Kozhikode, etc.: Given your strong academic background and work experience, you may consider applying to top-tier IIMs. While your GMAT score may be on the lower side for these institutes, your overall profile could still make you a competitive candidate.
2. Indian School of Business (ISB), Hyderabad: ISB values diversity in its student body, and your unique background in the Oil and Gas Industry could make your profile stand out. However, it would be beneficial to retake the GMAT to improve your score for a more competitive application.

B-schools in Europe:

MdFarhan: a few clarifications before sharing some feedback:
1. What was the Q/V/DI split of your GMAT score?
2. How was your professional journey at GAIL i.e. any promotions? Would like to understand your work experiences better to assess the strength of the professional arc
3. What are your post-MBA goals i.e. target roles and geographies? And which round are you looking to apply in e.g. R1 (2024)?
