See if you can get 685+ on the GMAT. That will make your profile competitive.

An 8.44 CGPA, consistent academics through school, and five years as a technology consultant at well-known firms give you a real base, and the work experience in particular sits right in the range that ISB and most global programs look for.

On the GMAT specifically, for top global programs and ISB you'll want to aim high. The working targets are 705+ for the top 15 schools globally and 715+ for the M7 and ISB. And because the Indian applicant pool is so competitive, the effective bar for Indian candidates tends to sit at the upper end of that range. That said, your actual chances depend on much more than just your GMAT score. Your story, recommendations, essays, the specific program list, and how your profile reads against other Indian tech consultants applying the same year all carry real weight.

The deeper admissions read on fit, profile, and school list will get more traction on the admissions-focused subreddits. For ISB, the IIMs, FMS, and similar Indian programs,  r/MBAIndia  has a dedicated community. For U.S., European, and other global top B-schools, r/MBA is the place. I'd recommend reposting there with your full profile so the right community can weigh in.

I hope that helps.

You speak about "top bschools of the world" and then mention ISB and IIM

5 years is good experience, assuming you've got some promotions in there and some leadership experience (even if it's informal). No top international Bschool will ask you for 10th and 12th grades, so those are immaterial. Your first goal should be to focus on the GMAT. Target a 655 or higher, and that'll take a lot of doing. Don't start by thinking about 705+. That's how people end up with not even a 625. Drop me a DM if you wish to discuss more.
