Hi Satrupa,
You have a rather good profile. I can say from my experience of helping applicants apply successfully, that females with your kind of experience on the shop floor are viewed favorably by admissions committees. So, you are starting off at an advantageous position. keep up the good work professionally and get involved in some volunteering activities- they add dimension to your profile.
Now, I'd like to ask you, why aren't you applying in the R2 cycle? You have the perfect level of work experience even now. All you need is a good GMAT score.

Hello Evaluators,
Please review my profile for ISB GMAT: 710 10th: 95.2 CBSE 12th: 85.4 CBSE CGPA: 8.28 IIT Kharagpur Work experience will be 4 years (June 2018) in Samsung RnD
Hello I am an Indian Student, I graduated from Jadavpur University with 6.71 CGPA and completed my masters from IIT kanpur with 8CGPA, My 10th % was 80% and 12th 72% . I have worked for 2 years at Delloite and 1 year at Bain & Co. My GMAT score is 730. I am looking for 1 year MBA at ISB/ Kellog /Insead . Please evaluate my profile and can anyone suggest me anything?
Please provide Profile Evaluation - ISB (for 2019-2020 Batch) - I know its early, but have to plan
I presently work in a Public Sector Bank as Senior Manager Total Work Experience - 08 years (in Bank) and 04 Months (in IT - Cognizant as Programmer Analyst Trainee)
In Bank, Joined in December 2009 as Assistant Manager and then got first Promotion to Manager in September 2013, second promotion to Senior Manager in July 2017.
As Assistant Manager I have worked in Credit Dept. handled loans of all kinds Retail, MSME etc. As Manager, I headed 03 Branches - 01 Urban,01 Rural and one Metro Branch as Branch Manager. Presently, as Senior Manager I am now posted in a Metro Branch as Second Line Manager presently assisting Assistant General Manager in all the dept (operations, advances, deposits).
I have worked in 07 different cities and four different states in almost all parts of country during this tenure.
I also completed Distance learning PGDM from IMT,Ghaziabad - CDL (as we get extra marks for completing PGDM during promotion in Bank)-- Should I mention it in my application?
Present Certifications (External - awarded by Indian Institute of Banking and Finance)- Certified Associate of Indian Institute of Bankers (CAIIB) Diploma in Treasury, Investment and Risk management in Banks Certificate in Digital Banking Certificate in International Banking Certificate in Trade Finance
Qualifications - PGDM (Distance Learning)- 2012 to 2014 BE (Electronics and Telecom Eng) - 2004 to 2008 - 81.80% (Excluding 1st year marks) ; 84.10% (including 1st year marks) 12th - CBSE - 72% 10th - ICSE - 78.33%
Extra Curricular - School Quiz Winner (GK, Memory test), Head Boy of House (Blue)..."dont know if its relevant" College - Co-editor in Department magazine.
Hobby - Cooking (I love it!!! Stress Buster for me)
What should be a good score in GMAT and whether Public Sector Banks profile stand chance as I do not have corporate background...
Why MBA? - I have been working in credit department for a long time and have processed many kinds of loans - In public sector, we are more like generalists...and not particularly specialist in a single type of work and though I worked in credit department but we can easily handle day to day branch operations/deposits/locker/clearing/customer complaints/NPA recovery/Suit Filing at DRT/Civil Suits and any other miscellaneous dept. as and when need arise. MBA will help me to make a career shift and I can use this immense work experience to add to my knowledge.
Awards - Received Appreciation Letter as Branch Head for performing Best in Retail loans in State - 02 times Received Appreciation Certificate - Black Belt - Overall Performer Received Internal "Hindi" Implementation Award - Second prize in Urban Branch Category all over India Received Appreciation Letter for successfully Implementing "Demonetization" with Zero Customer Complaints as Branch head Received Appreciation Certificate for performing excellent in NPA recovery Campaign.
I have not seen any of my colleagues who wants to pursue MBA full time because a Public Sector Bank provides excellent Job Security and their long term plan is to continue with the present Bank. Though I think differently, Bank has provided me with immense exposure to almost so many industries (MSME, Mid corporate, Large corporate), government machinery (functioning), Police, Courts, etc and I want to use this knowledge for better understanding of businesses through Formal Education.
International Experience - NIL (cant do anything about it as the opportunity is very less). Voluntary Social Work - Done with the help of Bank (mostly in the area where Branch is located) - also related with Government Sponsored Program's implementation, Conducting Financial Literacy Camps.
Target School - ISB, IIMA.
Please provide your suggestions and comments.
What I did not see from the profile is the clarity of post-MBA goals and Why MBA. This is the most critical aspect for someone who has 8+ years of work ex, like you. My advise would be to a) work on that, and b) aim for atleast 700+

The three schools you listed are vastly different. Anyways, academics are taken care of through GMAT and the IIT tag. The professional experience also seems in the range to get through, what you would need is a good clarity of goals and why MBA argument. You also need to convey your personal attributes and leadership skills - volunteering experience, hobbies, etc. This is very very important for top schools you have mentioned.
also, INSEAD requires diverse cultural/international experience, you have that? If not, you need to talk about empathy, team-work, etc to show that you can gel well with people from all sorts of cultural background.

Sounds good. I got an interview call with a similar profile but lesser work experience. All the best with your essays! They will play a key role.
I have appeared for GMAT and got 740. There are few doubts in my mind. I am really seeking for an informative answer. To start with, I am sharing certain details below.
Work experience - I have started working with my father in our business. We basically have a shop registered in India since 1989 where we provide photocopy, laminating, binding solutions and we also trade in office stationery goods. I am working here since 2012. Presently we have almost 3 million Indian rupees as our revenue figure.
Education - BCom honours with 1st class from University of Burdwan, India.Presently CFA LEVEL 3 candidate.
Query - Can I use the above mentioned work experience as a valid work experience to apply for MBA in global b-schools? And from where I need to get LORs? I think I can't get it from my father, who is my on job supervisor.

Hi, Firstly, congratulations on the GMAT CFA helps you too! For recommendations you’ll have to ask clients if possible or vendors. Family unfortunately won’t do.
Hi, You can definitely apply in any b school in the world. There is no bar. Try to use your profile as your strength using stories of your ups and downs and justify using suitable instances. Reccommendations can be obtained from your clients.

Hi Pearl,
What is your profile at this IT giant? IF you belong to the common IT engineer pool, then I see this as a uphill task for you. A low GMAT score + low work experience in an overcrowded applicant pool are too many weaknesses together. I'd suggest that you want a year and apply with more work experience and a better GMAT score. If you have outstanding work experience (in two years) then it may be worthwhile to retake GMAT before the R2 deadline and apply now. Its hard for me to comment further without knowing more about you.
