Kindly review my profile from your understanding and suggest me few colleges with a fair/ cheap education fees but better in terms of education quality and growth in terms of future perspective.
Also, if possible do suggest me which Course after GMAT, I should actually look for in those colleges. Since, I am not much interested in HR. Probably, looking for something in marketing field. Although, my experiences are more somewhat related to technologies. Looking for a balanced and good field/course which will be align to my past experiences.

Hello Rahul, and thanks for your post.
The application process is truly holistic, and committees will look at your stats (GPA and GMAT/GRE), work experience, and extracurriculars.
I would like to first mention the work experience category, because top MBA programs look for candidates with at least 3 (and on average 5) years of full-time experience. Therefore, I would suggest you gain a few more years of impactful work experience before applying.
However, I do think it is wise to begin thinking about how to boost your profile. You can start with doing as well as possible on the GMAT. A 700 score is a good score to target, although I would shoot for even higher, considering your demographic which tends to score above the average of MBA programs.
Additionally, your current work experience should have transferable skills to what your post-MBA goals are, and therefore I would strive to have some marketing experience in your current role, so that your post-MBA goals sound as realistic as possible.
Regarding extracurriculars, it is never too early to become involved in an organization you are passionate about. Ideally you will hold leadership positions in order to show your commitment. This will help differentiate you on your application.
Best of luck to you as you begin your journey!
