Hi Team,
Thanks for taking out time to go through my profile.

2. Education Qualification
- Undergraduate: Bachelors in Computer Science and Engineering and Masters in Computer Science and Engineering from National Institute of Technology
-GPA- 8/10 on the scale of 10.
3. GMAT
- 640 (Q47, V31)

4. Work Experience
- Overall: 29 months

- Industry: IT
- Role: Software Design Engineer-2. Developed Software suite for Banking and Financial Organisations. Coordinating with clients for post release feature updates. Provided training for newly recruits and 3 persons were reporting to me. Also organized task distribution and track tasks for the team.
I left my job in December 2022 as I was not able to prepare for GMAT and work pressure. Also, the company Iwas working in was continuously recalling to the office and then cancelling the plans which was hampering my preparation.
Meanwhile I am looking after my father's business with him as I wanted to have hands on experience in dealing with clients and also managing the workforce. We have Tyre Retreading Plant and deal with sales of new tyres for vehicles.
5. Extra-curricular activites and volunteer work:
- I was coordinator of Finance Club (Cultural and Technical fest) in college.
-Participated in Intra-college snooker competition.
- Member of Indian Society for Technical Education (ISTE) in college.
- I am also volunteering for an NGO named Almighty Blessings which provides free ambulance service for patients here in my hometown. It also provides free food(lunch and dinner) for all the patients and their attendants at Medical College here in my hometown and also organises blood donation camps.
6. Post MBA goals

7. Target Colleges

-NUS
8. Questions
- What are my chances of conversion for target colleges with scholarship if I score 730+.
