Mukherjee,
Well there's no real answer here. It's up to you. what do you want to do? Do you prefer to study more? Do you want to go over to Europe? Do you have any good job offers? Would you prefer to wait for an MBA? What's your thoughts about it. You can apply to either of course, and both ideas can be good, but basically it's up to you.

what do you want to do?
Operational Planning Head (10 years down the line) in a FMCG.

Do you prefer to study more?
Yes!

Do you want to go over to Europe?
Yes!
1. UK
2. Germany
Though my first preference is USA, second Europe and third India.

Do you have any good job offers?
Currently, yes. I’m working in PepsiCo International as an Assnt Manager. I’m paid good, in INR.

Would you prefer to wait for an MBA?
Frankly, I’m impatient. However, If I can instill confidence in me that I can make to the top MBA programme, I will wait.

Having answered the Qs, I want you to tell me that should I re-appear for GMAT, as the score is not great?
P.S I consider my profile and GPA strong.

Regards,
Mukherjee

Well then, an MiM can be a very good degree for you to move to over to Europe and then try and secure a job while you are a student. Just as good as an MiM could be other business degrees like Masters in Finance or Economics. So if you are interested those should be options, too. Plus they would leave you the option of doing an MBA later if you so desired,
Best,
Jon
