Hi Jon,

Thanks for your reply.

Please find below the description of my profile :
10th(ICSE) 84.3%
12th(CBSE) 74.6%
BTech(SOA University,ranked as 16th university in National Institutional Ranking Framework,2016)-91.3%

In my school days ,I had participated in many debates and extempores and was awarded for few .I had also participated in National Child Science Congress and was rewarded a certificate as a child scientist and the project was selected in district level.I was a member of The Bharat Scouts & Guides .I was awarded first prize for maths project in 11th class.In my engineering days,I was the the Class representative of my branch.I was the topper in my last semester too.I was working with an event organizing firm during my engineering days(Mariks Events).I have anchored many events in that firm.Its been 3 years since I am working with Tata Consultancy Services. I was the class representative during the training session of TCS ,leading a batch of 80 students from all over India.I have been working as a developer and a support analyst .Currently with only three years of experience I m the backup team lead .I have worked in middleware technologies such as TIBCO and IBM Sterling .I have worked on tools such as Case360. In my project I have been always appreciated and awarded for my initiatives and sincerity . Apart from these things in TCS I have anchored events during the client visits and have an excellent rapport with my clients.Lastly, I have a blog ,where I have published few poetries.

I hope the above information will be helpful.Regarding rewriting the GMAT ,I am really not sure .In my mocks ,I had scored around 720s but on the day not once but twice I have scored 600.The score still haunts me.I hope you can help me with 600 only.

Thanks in advance.

Okay, actually you have a simple problem with a simple solution. You need to retake the GMAT. If you are scoring 720 in the mocks, it would be really a bad idea to apply with a 600, because you have soooo much more POTENTIAL. Don't let it go to waste. Be patient. Retake the GMAT and go to a better school. It's worth it.

Also, no one gets the best score the first time they take it, and many take the test five times to get their target score,

So persevere, my friend!
Best,

Jon

Hey there,
Well with a 600 GMAT and an Indian Male Tech profile fro a non-IIT school, the MBA programs you can aim for will not be competitive. So once again: better to deal with the frustration now and do the GMAT, than insist and pay lots of money to go to a very low ranked MBA that doesn't place you well.

Best,
JF
