My average score in the Kaplan practice CATs this year was 718 and I scored 740 in GMATprep.
10th %age- 81(CBSE),12th %age-72(CBSE) and B.Tech %age-71.33(UPTU).

5. Moreover, some business courses I pursue over in my under-grad in engineering course,also doesn't reflects good grades too, will that effect the admissions as well?
6. What score should I target for in GMAT which I am planning to attempt in October 2014 end? Please define the range. And the coreespondings permutations and combinations as well for different scores.
7. What all extra should I pursue to cancel out the negativity in my profile. Looking for genuine advice !! Please help
