Hello Priyadarshi and thanks for your post.
Admissions committees will look at your stats (GPA and GRE), work experience, and extracurriculars.
Your GPA is strong, so that is a good start. Your GRE is also strong, though compared to others in your demographic, it is about the average. If you haven’t already, I suggest taking it up to 3-4 times. You have nothing to lose since schools will only look at your highest score. And even a slight increase can boost your profile.
It is hard to gauge your work experience without knowing your accomplishments and impact you have made there. Your largest challenge will be demonstrating your leadership experiences, so hopefully you can discuss how you have managed others or initiated projects. In general, it’s important to show you have made an impact and demonstrated leadership there. Ideally this will be supported by strong recommendation letters as well. It will also be important to explain why you want your MBA, and to also illustrate the skills you already have which are transferable to management consulting. Be sure your story makes sense, and is realistic and specific.
Regarding extracurriculars, make sure to really emphasize your leadership roles you have taken on, ideally ones post-university as well.
If you continue to strengthen your profile, you do have a chance at top 20 schools in the UK and Europe, but they are extremely competitive, and each school simply does not have the room to admit all the world's qualified applicants. For that reason, I suggest applying to several schools, including reach, target and safety.
Good luck!
