Your academic background and undergraduate performance are solid, positioning you well overall.
However, your GMAT score of 655, while decent, doesn’t quite translate to a 730 on the old scale—it’s more in the 700-710 range. This score is below the median for top MBA programs, and as an engineer, you’re in an especially competitive pool, often competing with applicants from tier-1 undergrad institutions.
Therefore, the quality of your overall application, especially essays and recommendations, will play a significant role in securing an interview invite.
Regarding transitioning into product management, your work experience is highly relevant, particularly with the growing EV sector, specifically in the 2-wheeler space. You’ve progressed quickly from a Graduate Engineer Trainee (GET) to Assistant Manager, likely faster than the industry average. However, when presenting your case to admissions committees, it may be more strategic to align your narrative with roles that naturally fit your current experience—such as project management or roles in operations and manufacturing within companies like Ola Electric.
Once admitted, you’ll have the flexibility to explore various career options, including product management, so it’s important to tailor your application to highlight experiences that directly relate to these areas.

VamsiAntyakula, For your reference the median GMAT FE score for ISB would be in the range of 665-685.
