I have given GMAT twice hoping to improve the overall score but I couldn't. last time Eng was the devil,now it is Math
I scored first time 660(Q49,V28)
This time 670(Q45,V37)
1) Basic demographic info: 31,male,Indian
2) Educational Background: B.Tech in Electronics and communication from one of the top 15 colleges of India,
10th standard : 86.5%
12th Standard: 78.75%
B.Tech: 70.01%
3) Work experience: I am in IT since last 9.5 years, all these years in Telecommunication(protocol development,application development etc.)
4) Extracurriculars: not have much extra curricular to boost about
5) Short/Long term goals: MBA preferably from India but with this low score I can go anywhere if the college is really good. Means I am looking for decent college and good ROI.
6) Schools: I shortlisted IIMB,ISB but the score doesn't let me feel good about it.
Can you please tell me which are the schools in US/Europe I can apply to,because I think this score is not good for IIMs and ISB in India, given the fact that I don't have very good Extracurriculars to support my score.
What are the schools i can apply as safeties? I am only looking for the Full time Executive MBA programs.
And also one additional question,will the job prospectus be same for 2 year full program and 1 year executive programs?Do these colleges provide any help in placement for executive MBAs.
I want to know whether i should go for another try if I get 730 which I am sure i can get. If a score of 730 makes my chances better then I'll go for it,but I am apprehensive about the number of attempts I am taking to achieve this score,because this can go against me. Is it so??

From an MBA admissions perspective, when we talk abt short and long-term goals, we are referring to your professional goals immediately after earning your MBA and then in the long-term, let's say 10 years after earning the degree. It is understood that an MBA applicants wants acceptance to b-school in the near future.
The job prospects and support is very different for MBAs than for EMBAs. In general, an EMBA is more for people who want to enhance their current career than for career changers. Additionally, some schools limit access to career management services for EMBA students. This differs from school to school.
A score of 730 would definitely enhance your chances at the elite business schools around the world, but all of them will want to see evidence of leadership and management ability (ie experience) as well as the higher score. If you earn the higher score and don't have that evidence, you will still be better off, but won't probably be able to get into top 10 schools.
Best,
Linda

Thanks Linda for your valuable inputs.
My short term goal is to do a good consulting job for 8-10 years and then to startup my own business.
Can you please tell me what are the schools I can apply to
1) For regular MBA(whether it will be a good choice if I want to do career switch)
2) EMBA
Also can you suggest me which one will be the better option for me at this point of my career? Why I am asking this is because I initially thought that even doing an EMBA will provide me the opportunity to switch my career if I want to,but as you said it is more like career enhancer so I am curious to know which one to opt now.
With this score are my chances for EMBA good or should I go for another attempt? Also I think EMBA is much costlier than the regular MBA. Is this the case?
Also I have some hint that most of the EMBAs are not regular full week study programs,these are only weekend class based. Are there colleges which provide the regular full week study courses?
