There has been whopping 75% increase in the fee. and even after 2 years of the program they don't have proper(means for all) family accommodations. Are they building new hostel facilities for future? And how are the current family accommodations?

The fee hike was inevitable anyway, and the accommodation is divided into singles and family in approx 50-50% ratio which IMO is fair. So far there has not been any issue wrt allotment of family accommodation. All who wanted family accommodation got it in both the previous batches.

IMO, your profile is fairly decent in terms of its diversity component and GMAT score, major focus areas should be good recos and well written essays/SOP...
For i/v you should be prepared with all the obvious questions unique to your profile...
Additionally, I'm not sure what would be the adcom's take on your farming experience...you may wanna check with PGPEX office whether that qualifies for the "professional" experience or not...
