As a 33 year old Indian male coming from an engineering background with average grades, not much in terms of leadership experience & not much in the way of extracurriculars unfortunately it's going to be extremely difficult to get into a full time top 20 MBA program and you will really not have any chance at a scholarship. Younger applicants coming from the IITs still have a tough time getting into these schools if they don't have much to differentiate them. Indian male engineer/tech applicants are the most overrepresented demographic when it comes to b-school applications so it's really tough to stand out -- and so many of these applicants also have very high GMAT scores. Depending on your score & your work accomplishments, a school in the 20-30 range may be an option but it will still be very tough to secure funding.

Jon, Thank you very much for giving me a clear understanding of the profile. It will certainly help me in understanding the B school requirements and shortlisting B schools accordingly. Thank you.
