Hey dude!
Good to hear from you and see that you have a great MBA dream!
So a few thoughts before you go ahead an apply:
First as a software engineer 22 months is not nearly enough experience for you to apply. It's true that some people do apply with two years experience, but mostly they come from Finance or Consulting. The expectation would be that you have had enough time at work to PROVE how good you are (and hopefully get enough leadership)
Secondly, do not underestimate how COMPETITIVE things are especially for people in the toughest demographic (i.e. yours... Indian/Male/IT). Have a look at this amazing post here by our friends at GMATclub, and it will give you an idea of just how challenging: https://gmatclub.com/forum/mba-admissio ... 39142.html
What does this tell us? That for your target schools you need 40-50 more points on the GMAT.
If you do retake, which I would definitely advise, have a look at this article too about Indians and retaking the GMAT: https://admissionado.com/mba/to-retake-o ... n=mba_blog
So my advice: start planning NOW for an application in 1-3 years. Get leadership. Do volunteer work. Get a better GMAT. Keep up your activities. And add any sort of leadership you can anywhere. Do that and your profile will be much improved!
If you need help planning it all, drop us a line:
