bhaskar12345 if you put your mind to something, you can surely accomplish it
1. If you tap into the right opportunities and prepare well you can make it to management consulting. Even if you don't make it to MBB during your MBA, you will be able to leverage your connections and the strong B School branding (I am talking about feeder schools) to get interviews at your target companies when you feel you are ready(even years after you graduate). What you then make of such opportunities will depend on factors such as your level of preparation for the interviews, etc.
2. Yes you would be able to get into SCM roles provided you demonstrate a decent understanding of supply chain modeling and analytical thinking. SCM roles form the backbone of most new-age businesses today (think E-commerce, 10-minute deliveries, medical supplies, commodity businesses, and so on). I do not think this is the right platform for that discussion, but since one of my focus areas is SCM you can reach out to me for a detailed discussion on prospects in this industry.

1. Current- 3.5yrs with Barclays Bank in their Noida office
1a. Joined as an Assistant manager in the legal entity control function.

After being promoted I have worked in the projects and transformation team which is building the next generation source systems for the bank my role is to advice on the accounting side mappings and configuration of accounting entries in a way that brings in efficiency as well as that eliminates legacy problems to some extent.
Hands on experience with Alteryx designer tool to automate various business related reportings and journals leading in time and effort saving for the function.

I led the head office consolidation wherein I was responsible for keeping a tab on the outstanding loan and it's repayment by Tata Steel as part of the insolvency deal. Along with other consolidation related items like financial statements, consolidation of finding and key audit matters.
