I have done btech project which was sponsored by Persistent systems (MNC) also I did a sales and marketing internship in my first year
I am yet to give GRE OR GMAT Exam and I am looking for MIM and MSC courses also I would like to know if it is useful to do a one year msc course in marketing or msc in management from UK as I have 0 business exposure in my undergrad and also tell that is it better to give gre or gmat
I am looking for colleges like HEC ESSEC EPC NUS Alliance Manchester

Hi
Aayuag , hope you are doing well.
My advice for you is to play on your strengths and focus on highlighting your leadership potential. A CGPA of 8.25 is decent and you may not necessarily have to show all mark sheets (depends on the school). Now you must focus on getting a solid GMAT/GRE (Either is ok, try to target >90th percentile) score to ensure that you remain competitive in a large pool of applicants. It seems that you were actively involved in college initiatives in the student council and entrepreneurship cell. This is good. On top of this, you also have professional experience in the form of internships and a real job as an engineer. You could certainly draw insights from having handled projects in a functional role and demonstrating management and business acumen. I do not think you have any deal-breaking weak points but you would have to work hard to build a strong narrative and show motivation for the MiM program.
You should also deliberate over whether you would like to go for a specific marketing course or a more generalist management and strategy course which would help you explore a wider set of opportunities. Think about what you would like to do in the long term and then reflect on capabilities that you need to acquire through experience in the midterm and short term. Chalk out potential paths that would help you attain your long-term goals. Showing maturity in your thought process would certainly set you apart.
Some community experience or diversity initiatives would be nice to have.
