Hi there,
Thanks for sharing your background - in my view, you have a good shot at your preferential schools (the top 5-6 schools will be stretch since you come from a tough demographic, but beyond that, you should be quite competitive). The key thing for you will be your story - in other words, why are you seeking an MBA given your legal background? Note that lawyers have a lot to offer business schools (and they definitely have a unique perspective) - I've worked successfully with lawyers and the most important thing (as always) has been conveying the story.
I hope this helps!
Best,
Shaifali

Sandhyabiswas93,
1. Your overall profile (and GMAT Score) is powerful, even for your demographic.
2. Have not seen your bachelor's in the top 5; Yet, the profile itself, including study of Law is great. That said, your goals would matter an immense lot, since the connections you seek to establish with your targeted future roles will be instrumental in convincing the AdCom (or not). Pretty good shots at CMU & Kelley. Yale is a bit of a reach, while Stanford and Booth are good dream targets. All this provided your story, LORs etc are strong, and are able to set a strong link
3. From your details, it is not clear whether you are continuing with Infosys (or any corporate body).
Pm us your resume for a detailed profile evaluation, and to ask any questions that you may have FREE.
