I'm a 21 year old male and I just completed my undergrad from the top university in India (University of Delhi) in Bachelor of Management Studies (Finance). My aggregate is around 86% which translates to a 4.0 GPA according to Wes.com
I took the GRE in 2015:
V: 160
Q: 161
Essay: 5
Do I need to take the GMAT?
I have strong extracurriculars as well.
I've currently been placed at KPMG India in Deal Advisory (Transaction Services/Financial Due Diligence) M&A.
I plan to complete CFA Levels 1 and if possible 2 before I apply for my Masters.
I wish to work for a year or two and then head abroad for my Masters. I aim to work at a bulge bracket Investment Bank (M&A) either in London or New York.
How many years should I ideally work?
Which country would be easier for an international student to gain admission and employment in?
Which course should I go for? MSc Finance or MBA?
Which universities would be in my league?
Do I need to take the GMAT? If so, what would be a good score for my profile?
Thanks!

Hey there,
And good to hear from you!!!
Okay let me start with your test score - your GRE is the GMAT equivalent of about a 650, so not high enough either to get into a Top school or to land a good BB job. You will need at least a 700 on the GMAT (or GRE equivalent) although as an Indian applicant a 730+ is safer and better.
Ideally you will work at least 2, but three years is better. This will allow you to gain the necessary experience to make B-school interesting for you and to make your profile attractive.
As for MFin or MBA, it depends on what you want - if you are looking more on the managerial side, then MBA, more on the technical side than MFin, although in reality there is a lot of overlap.
It's too early to evaluate universities as you have no work experience. Just work on doing the best you can, and make sure you are keeping up some extra curricular activities, and volunteer work.
Well, I hope all of this helps!!!
And if you have more questions, just drop a line!!!
Best,
Jon
