Hello
First of all, what business schools do you plan to apply to and where? Because your age exceeds the average age of applicants in US B-schools by 10 years at-least. so the most important question you will have to address in why MBA now? Why did you not go for it 5 - 10 years ago. also, with more work experience you will be expected to have a lot more leadership experience than the rest of the applicants.
Have you considered EMBA?
Your undergrad GPA is on the lower side and to make up for it, I would suggest you to aim for a GMAT score around 750 if you want to get into a good business school. Tell me more about your work experience and extracurricular activities - major projects, achievements and major leadership experiences in and outside of work. Are involved in any volunteer work?
Another important part of your business school application is post MBA goals. Why do you want to pursue MBA and what industry or position do you hope to get into after completing the MBA.
You come from a non-IT background and have international experiences and these should help your application a little bit. But there are a lot of other things that will decide your fate
Tell me more about your profile and i will be able to advice you better.
In he mean time take a look at this article and understand why it is difficult for older applicants to apply for full time MBA https://www.interviewbay.com/blog/does-a ... for-an-mba
All the best

Hi
Thank you for the reply.
I am considering one year MBA like INSEAD, ISB or other top schools in US UK. I would like to get into strategy and consulting. Due to the financial constraints and other commitments I couldn't manage to think about MBA earlier.
I started as a civil site Engineer in 2002 and promoted as a project Manager after 2 years. I then moved to different city and started in Design( Civil engineering- residential). Joined as a design engineer and got two promotions in two years. From design engineer to manager and operations manager. I have joined the company in the early stage and played a substantial role in the growth and restructuring of the company. Lost the job in 2009 due to the recession. I then came to NZ and did Masters in Construction management. did well and was the 2nd topper.
After the course I joined as a Project engineer's role in road construction and since then change few jobs.
While in India I worked voluntarily as a teacher for English speaking with an NGO. ( 2007-2009). In the earlier stage of my career (2003 - 2006) I served a President of the Club which was founded by me with two of my friends.
I have also started a consulting company in NZ in 2012 and run for 6 months, however in a negotiation with the current company I ceased the operations.
I now want to take further step into strategy and consulting as this was always the passion.
By the time I start my application I will be PMP qualified (appearing in Jan 2015) and will be CEng ( Chartered Professional engineer, NZ).
I can forward you a details CV should you need that.
Regards.
