Hi Pranil,

You have a decent and well-rounded profile. Your academics are fairly consistent, your non-engineering background can help with academic diversity, and nearly 3 years of work experience is a solid positive. Since you’ve recently left your job, just be prepared to explain your career break and reason for pursuing an MBA.

For skills, don’t feel like you need to collect random certificates. Focus on communication, Excel, basic finance/business understanding, and problem-solving. You can also read about the industry or role you would like to pursue after your MBA. Your work experience itself can be a strong talking point, so spend time understanding and articulating your responsibilities, achievements and impact clearly during interviews.

Overall, your profile is workable for good B-schools. Your main priority now should be to get the best possible CAT score rather than worrying too much about adding more certificates.
