Hi priyanka2201!
Moving this post to a better sub-forum. Please feel free to add ISB to your list of schools along with a note on your profile for a free review by an admissions consultant - https://gmatclub.com/forum/decision-tracker/index.html
Not sure if the other schools are available on the drop-down but you can note them in your text.
You can also poke around the larger forum profile review forum and reach out to specific consultants - https://gmatclub.com/forum/ask-admissio ... tants-124/
On another note, ISB really likes 700+ GMAT scores. More so if you have little to no work experience.
The rest of your profile looks great! Do point out any extra-curricular activities, short and long-term goals, possible internship experience and your university/college when reaching out to consultants. It'll help them help you better!
Thanks,
Sim

Hey priyanka2201,
Your excellent CGPA of 8 in your undergrad, demonstrates your academic prowess. This strong academic record is a significant asset. Given your target schools – ISB (via YLP Programme), SPJMR, and XIMB – your current GMAT mock scores of around 680 are a good starting point.
For these schools, aiming for a GMAT score of 700 or above would strengthen your application, particularly for ISB's Young Leaders Programme (YLP), which is highly competitive. ISB typically looks for scores in the range of 650-750, with the average around 710. For SPJMR and XIMB, a score of around 680 is quite competitive, but pushing towards 700 or more can provide an additional edge.
Since you have no work experience, your extracurricular activities become crucial. It's good to hear that you have a 'fairly decent' extracurricular record. When detailing these in your application, focus on leadership roles, initiatives you have taken, impacts made, and skills developed through these activities. This can compensate to some extent for the lack of professional experience.
Your chances of making it through these programs depend not only on your GMAT score but also on how well you present your overall profile. Make sure your essays and interviews effectively communicate your strengths, ambitions, and how the program aligns with your career goals. Since you're a recent graduate, schools will also be interested in your potential for growth, adaptability, and how you plan to contribute to their community.
Aim for a higher GMAT score if possible, and focus on crafting a compelling narrative around your academic achievements and extracurricular activities. Highlight your leadership potential, commitment to personal and professional development, and clarity of career goals in your applications. With careful preparation and a strong application, you have a good chance of success at these schools.
