My Background as follows:
Citizen - Indian
Profession - Chartered Accountant with Majorly in Accounts & Finance.
Work Experience - 6+ Years
Other - Worked with World-known Brands of India, also have international project exposure of 4 months in London.
I did my BCOM as well as MCOM.
Club - Part of Toastmaster International Club for > 1 year, where I tried to improve my communication (as my schooling till grade 10th is in Hindi Medium) & leadership skills.
Other Achievements - My entire schooling till grade 10th was in vernacular medium, however from class 11th there is shift in entire subject to english, I was not only able to manage the such huge shift but also able to make in college topper list (2nd position). Also, since I was doing my graduation & chartered accountacny together my CGPA has impacted bit down side, however I cleared all my chartered accountant examination in 1st attempt (which has only 8% pass rate)
Regards,

It entirely depends on which country you wish to study in and what your post-MBA career plan is. Generally speaking, you may be better placed by improving your score by at least another 60-70 points.

With a GMAT score of 605 (Q-86, V-79, D-75), you're in the mid-range for many business schools, but your strong professional background, international exposure, and achievements will help make your application stand out. Based on your profile, here are some schools that could be a good fit:
1. Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs)
IIM Lucknow, IIM Indore, and IIM Kozhikode could be within reach, as they often consider professional experience and overall growth.
2. International Business Schools (Moderate Range)
SP Jain School of Global Management (India/Singapore/Dubai campuses) could be a good option considering your international project experience.
ISB (Indian School of Business) could be challenging but worth considering for a strong professional background like yours.
3. Regional/Other Good Business Schools
Great Lakes Institute of Management (Chennai, India) could be a good match for your score and profile.
MICA (Mudra Institute of Communications Ahmedabad) if you're considering marketing or communications-based MBA programs.
Key Factors to Focus On:
Professional Experience: With 6+ years in finance and international exposure, you’re well-positioned to leverage your work experience.
Leadership: Your Toastmasters involvement is a great way to highlight leadership and communication skills, important for many business schools.
Unique Story: Your transition from Hindi Medium to English and your success despite a challenging academic environment can be compelling for schools looking for resilience and determination.
Recommendations:
Reach out to Admissions: Speak to admissions representatives to gauge if schools will consider your background despite the GMAT score.
Essay and Recommendations: Focus on a compelling narrative in your essays, highlighting your achievements, leadership, and international experience.
If you’re open to retaking the GMAT or considering schools with flexible score requirements, it could open doors to more competitive programs.
