Hi everyone,
Kindly evaluate my profile and let me know if my profile is suitable for the schools I'm applying to.
1. Profile : Indian / 25 years / Mechanical engineer
2. Work Experience : 4 year. Currently employed with Daikin (Japanese MNC) as a Sr. Engineer-Project management and leading a team of 6 people to manage 50+ dealer/distributors each having a staff of 10+ engineers.
Associated with 2 Green building projects. Have been promoted once in 1.5 years in my current company.
Previous employer : SEIPL
Was amongst the top 3 employees during the one month training organized by Company. As a result was transferred to the corporate office to be a part of technically most demanding and company's most profitable division, Clean room application of air conditioners(worked for multinationals like Ranbaxy, USV etc)
Promoted once during my stay in SEIPL
3. GMAT score : 710 (Verbal - 35 , Quant - 50 , IR 7)
4. TOEFL scores : awaited
5. Percentage :71.4% (Hold a B.E Honor from Panjab University. Honors degree is generally awarded to only 5-6% of the students in our university)
6. Extra Curricular : President of a club, head of mechanical wing of another during college.
7.Achievements : Stood first in state in National Science Olympiad. Represented state in a national level quiz contest

Does being a Non IT engineer put me at some advantage(compared to IT guys) or all Indian engineers are considered as same ..
Thanks

Hi Shashank,
Yes. The fact that you come from non IT domain will help you but you have to do a good job to spell that out in your essays and this should also come out well in your recos. Also, dont focus on the technical aspects otherwise your profile might not sound better off as compared from a regular IT profile.
Let us know if you have any other queries.

Shashank,
It will not really matter much if you are an IT engineer or a non-IT engineer. It will really depend on what kind of transferable skills/experiences you gained during your corporate experience. Moreover, it's a fact so I wouldn't fret about it and focus on what leadership stories you have to talk about in your application.
Your GMAT score and undergrad are decent. Your corporate experience might have some good potential stories especially with team leading, coordination and may be some kind of impact on the P&L of the company. What are your career goals? Which schools are you targeting at? This will really help to fine tune the realistic school list where you have a decent chance of getting an admit.
Ping us if you have more questions.
