Hi
I am a Civil Engineer, working in the Commercial & Planning Department of a civil construction multinational, namely ITD CEMENTATION INDIA LTD as a planning engineer for past 2.6 years . I am a graduate from prestigious Delhi College of Engineering, with a score of 63.5%. By scores in Xth and XII standard are 82.7 % and 80.4 % respectively.
I am involved in budget planning, resource planning, activity scheduling, earned value analysis and tendering in the company. I handed 2 projects one of CONSTRUCTION OF JAIPUR METRO (~300 Crore) and PWD ELEVATED CORRIDOR DEVELOPMENT PROJECT (~ 500 Crore). I also worked with my father's Nokia's handset distribution business, looking after the entire procurement schedules, sales and accounting of the business.
I owned 2 web-startups of mine own too, namely Campus booth and Vision De Vivid, where I worked with a team of around 12 colleagues. But however I was not lucky with the things and ended the two, leading to team splits and some poor decision making.
Now I am looking for a career improvisation and learn strategy development and brand building and product;s brand establishment from ISB, Hyderabad. I gave 2 attempts at GMAT but was only able to score mere 650 at it ( V: 29 , Q : 50 , IR: 7, AWA : 6.5). After receiving such a poor score I gave up my hopes for ISB, but here I am in the last week of application submission and wondering should I apply for the same or not.
Kindly advice me should I apply this year only or wait for the next year. I am not able to identify what harm can be caused if apply this time and my application is rejected? though chances are higher of same ? Also kindly rate my profile and let me know should I apply for this year or not ?

Hi,
We are answering this query late. But we would in any case have recommended you to apply in 2015 for session starting in 2016. Reason
1) Your GMAT score is still below average. So, work hard on it, focus on your weak area i.e. Verbal and push it to 37-38 so that your overall score cross 700. This is the single biggest thing you should focus on and it is possible
2) Applying in 2015 will naturally help you add one more year of experience.
Use your failed ventures as initiatives which help you broaden your skillset.
Your goals have to be well thought through and present a person who is looking for an MBA with an aim in mind and not course correction.
Feel free to contact us if you have any queries.
