Let's see
A GRE score of 316 that translates to GMAT score of 630.
I understand you're interested in a full time MBA but what universities are you targeting?
If you're asking
1. whether the Work experience is sufficient in quantity and quality- yes
2. whether the Prestige of college would be considered - yes , and might I say, distinctive, given an IIT tag, I suppose those are most prestigious in India
3. whether you've shown enough in work experience- no, you need to show what your role was, what quality of yours helped the company in a way, in what way were you an asset in a project
If you're targeting top 10 universities according to US News ranking, I believe it's a long shot. GMAT/GRE scores do matter. Harvard says it wouldn't care about a GMAT Score if there's a 7 in front of it, but your GRE score translates to 630. If you want to increase your chances at Top Bschools, I'd suggest retaking the GRE or GMAT which ever suits you. If you're targeting universities beyond top 20, you may take a shot. But currently, I'd say to 25 to 40 is a viable option.
Also if you just increase your verbal score to 158-159 (preferably 160) and quant to 165. It bring you in light of top 10.
Other thing are fine

Hi there! Thanks for reaching out. If you want to target top schools, it would be ideal to improve your GRE score. In general you want to hit & ideally exceed the average score at a school. It's great that you went to IIT & having E&Y on your resume is great as well. Just to confirm, you are in an actual consultant role there & not working as an analyst, is that right? That will make a big difference in the strength of your candidacy (the analyst role is just not as impactful or strategic & therefore of much less interest to the adcom than a consultant role). Unfortunately a semester in Germany & summer school in Korea are not going to make any real difference in the strength of your candidacy, but some strong accomplishments at work will. A lot will depend on the specifics there. The adcom wants to see you using business skills to make a quantifiable impact (increasing revenue, decreasing costs, etc) and they also want to see demonstrated leadership skills.
Post-MBA goals are a critical piece of your application as well. They are not only a chance to differentiate yourself but also the foundation for your why MBA/why our school argument. Is there any chance you can return to E&Y and be sponsored. That's great for a school's employment stats, and it also shows that a prestigious employer is willing to vouch for you.
Hope that helps! If you'd like any additional help thinking through your strategy & your story definitely reach out to us. If you email Claudia at claudia@admissionado.com she can set you up with a free consultation with one of our MBA consultants!
