660 is lot. IIT is a good college. Nice EC's and work experience. 7.65/10 seems like a C+ in the US. Feel free to correct me.

Need more info though. Where are you looking to go to school? Bunch of US programs that would look hard at your resume. If this is Europe, probably less schools.

Hey bohra4444 , As far as the profile is concerned you have a pretty good GPA and your undergraduate college being one of the top 10 in the country certainly adds to it. Your overall GMAT score is a little on the lower end, We would advise you retake the test and by improving the score by 30-40 points you have a chance of targeting programs at all the top colleges. As for your extracurricular activities, you have a lot of leadership and volunteering roles which all showcase your strong interest in developing your profile holistically. So talking about what you did in the roles and how you handled problems, planned the events, raised funds. You should dig deeper into this aspect and bring out varied skills in your profile. Though to be clear, Adcoms are more interested in impact created rather than participation, hence highlighting your quantifiable achievements would help enhance your application. As for your internship experience, you have a few good brands on your CV which definitely works in your favor. Since your role was in the field of finance and data analysis you would have to elaborate and showcase why you chose projects and roles directed towards these aspects. It would add on to your profile and showcase how you have been dedicated towards gaining a diverse skill set. Overall you have a pretty decent profile and you can be targeting several programs at the top schools. If you are looking to gain managerial knowledge you should be targeting the masters in management since it is a generalized degree and would give you the opportunity to work in all the different fields of management. Apart from that there are specialized masters options such as M.Sc. In Finance, M.Sc. in Business Analytics and Masters in Engineering Management each of which are specifically targeted at candidates you wish to specialize and go for careers in these domains.
