I have moved your post to "Ask Admission Consultants" forum. I guess your question is too open. You need to specify a few things like your interests, your work experience etc for the consultants to have a better response.

Thanks.

Hi  ajt0310

You have a good profile with a good GMAT,You carry strong extra curricular. The admissions officers want to see evidence of leadership and essays that demonstrate you have a plan as to what you intend to do after earning your MBA. Your prior work history & academics need to paint a clear picture as to why you desire an MBA.

Please share more information about your profile or get in touch with us to evaluate your profile with our experts.

Hello ajt0310

While the 'stats' of you profile check most boxes, the choice of school would depend on

1) The strength of your work ex (career progress and achievements) and where you stand vs the competition
2) Your career goals
3) Geographical and financial preference

In absence of info on any of the above, broadly speaking 2 years of work ex is less for most US/UK/Europe/Canadian B Schools. In India, 2 Years might be fine for ISB, but less for the one year programs at IIMs. It is not just about eligibility (at some places) but also you being able to compete with other applicants who would have worked in industry longer than you have and might have a stronger career progress/achievements.
Secondly, your GMAT score though good, may not be considered strong everywhere. For instance US schools generally have much higher scores than B Schools in other parts of the world. The average score for top 10 US B Schools would be in around ~730 whereas for UK, US, India it would be closer to 710. For Canada, the scores would be slightly lower. Indians are generally expected to score higher than the average of the school. But all this is broadly speaking. You may get in with a lower than average score if you have other things that make you stand out (see the 3 points at the beginning of this response).
Therefore, to repeat, the answer to your question demands a deeper understanding of your interest, goals etc.
