Hello Shail88,
You have good experience for IIM A, but for ISB your experience may be over the average. Your GMAT score is little below average for both schools, and if possible, you should raise it by 30 points to prove that you will be able to handle the academic rigor of these programs. Your international experience will add to your profile, but I am missing any designations and promotion in your line of work.
Your biggest asset is your differentiated profile, but you will have to bring out stories of impact and leadership in your essays.

Hi Deepender,
An MBA is used by most people to pivot a career change. No what your post MBA career should be depends on a few things
1. Your interest - what do you want to do post MBA
2. Your transferable skills - where will your skills gained so far be most relevant? For a merchant navy professional, that could be in an operations role. This could be with an operations-focussed e-com venture or in a brick and mortar ops role.
You could be a great addition to a Flipkart, Amazon kind of org.

Hi I am someone who is standing at a very disadvantageous position academically right now, it has only been a few month since I got my 12th results. My goal now is to get into ISB and get a job in Corporate Finance or Asset Management. I know I have nothing to show I deserve to get an admission right now but I am doing my best to learn skills like Financial Modelling through MOOCS. I also hope to start CFA final year of UG. Right now I got admission at Sydenham College of Commerce and Economics but I am still contemplating on whether it's worth the expense of living in Mumbai compared to doing my BBA from some college here.
Now my real dilemma right now is where I hope you can help as in which one of the options will help me land in ISB and how much weight does where I do my UG matter in applying for ISB.
My options are:
1) Drop this year and write improvement exam, improving just Economics by 20 marks will get me a 90% but I can likely do more. And apply for better colleges like Christ university or SJCC next year.
2)Attend a local college and do my best in studies and try to do summer internships, do CFA L1 final year.
3)Move to Mumbai and Attend Sydenham college and prepare for CFA L1 final year, also do relevant internships.
4)Take admission in any college and hope to get in to another college next year, this way I do not lose a year when I don't get into a better college.
Academics :
1. 12th - CBSE (Commerce) -86.4%
2. 10th - CBSE - 54%
Hobbies :
1.Reading about mainly Psychology, Investing, Filmmaking and Fiction novellas.
2.Air Rifle Shooting
3.Swing trading with paper (Hope to turn this real soon)
3.Learning about Filmmaking
Also do I have any chance at YLP PGP provided I score good in UG (BCom/BBA/BMS)
Thanks, I know I am asking too much of you but I literally have nobody to talk to right now. They are saying I am thinking too far into the future and I should get into whatever college and do my best at GMAT/CAT but as someone who is standing on the big disadvantage that is my 10th marks I have to be sure of what I am doing.
