Hi there mate,
Thanks for your post! Ok, so there are numerous red flags / questions from my end. Firstly, you haven't taken the GMAT yet. That's something you have to get out of the way. Also, you aren't in an IIT or NIT ranked program, so you need to target a 700+, ideally over a 720. Regardless of when you apply, a 690 is going to close some doors.
Secondly, you have no work experience. Zilch. Even in undergrad, you have no part time experience. So the question I have to ask is...why do you want to apply so early? Almost every reputed MBA program out there asks for AT LEAST a couple of years of work experience and, even then, those two or three years need to be awesome. So, without any, you're well behind the curve. And they ask for work experience for 2 great reasons. 1) They want students who have been out in the real world and know how it works and can bring that back to the classroom. 2) it's for your own good!
Also, your goals are incredibly vague and they won't resonate with an adcom. Becoming senior management material isn't a goal. People who go to MBA programs have very specific reasons for wanting to do so. I think this is a direct result of your age and professional experience. Because you haven't worked anywhere, you don't really have a solid grasp on what you want to do and what you're missing, so your goals are nebulous.
I'm going to be incredibly honest and hopefully you don't think that I'm being rude. Part of my professional responsibility is to call it how I see it. A truth, no matter how unwelcome, is worth more lie any day of the week!
You're not in a position to apply to schools. You absolutely shouldn't this year, and you should actually probably wait a few (graduation + at least 3) years. Graduate, take the GMAT, get your first job, do some amazing things, get involved, make your profile UNIQUE, and THEN look to apply.
If you go now and get in (which is an "if" in the first place), you're going to be suboptimizing the entire process and, in the process, wasting a lot of time and money.

Hi Sir,
Thanks for the Evaluation and honest feedback.
Its always good to have a constructive criticism.Your reply does help me a lot.
First about the GMAT.I have my exam in 10 days and I'll target a 700+
As you said, I am not in a IIT or NIT ranked program. This would get in my way of getting a good career.
And that's the frank reason for an MBA without work experience
Yes, the goal was vague.sorry for that.
As a CS student,having seen some amount of the technical side of a company, i wish to see the management side and get to know the working of a company.
Thanks and Regards,
Amalan Inian.
