Hi,
1. You have selected some of the top most b-schools, which are difficult to crack for just about anybody. I would ask you to think through your choice 1 through 7 and select 3-4 b-schools, and apply to a few more b-schools in the 8-20 ranking range. Match your interests with what the programs above have to offer. B-schools have started their online admission events for the coming admissions cycle. Register on them to figure out more about these b-schools
2. Yes, I agree your work experience is on the lower side. Another year atwork will make you a much stronger applicants.
3. Its always a plus to have some extra curricular activity. This aspect does not have to be a negative- you still have time (even if you apply this fall) to get involved. Here's a link's for more on volunteering: https://mbadecoder.com/volunteer-for-mba-app/

Hi Indraban,
IIT, Physics publication, 760, CFA - all great. This makes you solid on the academic side. But that is only one aspect of the application.
B-schools evaluate you for your potential of success and making an impact while in the school and afterwards. You need to be a rockstar in your workplace to convince top schools on your list that they should admit you.
As I see, your biggest challenges are twofold:
1. Differentiating yourself from many others with somewhat similar profile. You need to stand out in your essays and resume. You can't afford not to.
2. Writing convincingly about your career goals. From your post, I'm not sure how much clarity you have at this point. Unless you can make a strong case for why MBA and why a particular school, you risk chances of rejection.
Last few weeks I have done ding analysis of numerous Indian applicants and seen many many applicants with 740, 760 and good work and academic background being rejected. So, I recommend do your best to strengthen all aspects of your application.
Drop me a note if you need help.
Good luck!
