Hello everyone, I am new to GMAT prep. Kindly help me with few questions.
1. I gave the official mock test of GMAT on MBA dot com without any practice and scored 680. What kind of score is that good or bad?
2. What increase I can expect in my GMAT score after some good practice? How much score I need ideally to get in top B schools?
3. How can an average Indian working in an entry level position in an average company make his profile better?

Welcome to GMAT Club.
680 is a very good score! That's 80th percentile approximately https://gmatclub.com/forum/gmat-scores-83890.html
You can check more here about how to figure out the score you need and steps to take further. https://gmatclub.com/forum/brand-new-to ... 11381.html. Basically poke around the decision tracker and see what people with your background were able to do: https://gmatclub.com/forum/decision-tracker.html Also you can try to get a sense of your chances: https://gmatclub.com/forum/what-are-my- ... 09854.html
The unfortunately reality is that as an Indian, you need the higher the better just to even get your application reviewed. Top 10 MBA programs likely looking at 750 and above for that specific demographic.
#2. You can boost your score 50-70 points likely with some review of mistakes but it is much harder to improve from 680 than 580 for example.
#3 Depends on where you want to go to school. I think if you are looking at an MBA in India, then I am not sure. I don't know enough about them. A high score may be a big help. In the US/Europe, you need career growth, salary growth, improvement, and a good brand name. This will not only help wtih admissions but also, more importantly, much more importantly with recruiting. In Europe and US it is very competitive to get a job and your former work experience (before the MBA) has a BIG impact on getting a job.

Fair to say that is a solid starting point. If you include/mention your score break up, people may provide some specific suggestions regarding next steps.
