My acads are as follows: 10th - 81.2%, 12th - 70.8%, B.E. in Electrical Engineering with a CGPA of 7.89 which i have completed by May 2013. After that i decided to join the family business instead of looking for a job, i didnt even sit for campus placements. I took the above decision for two reasons: 1. Working here would give me flexibility so that i can devote more time to prepare for management entrance exams. 2. Ultimately, i will have to join the family business, be it 5-10years later, so why not join it now.I used to study on weekends as i am occupied with work on weekdays. But i was unable to get a good percentile in any of the exams this year. I really want to go for MBA from the top-tier colleges. Now my doubt is about the work-ex i get next year, will it be enough or even valid for colleges like IIMs or ISB as a proper work-ex. I am in this dilemma that despite working for 1.5years i may be rejected only because the work-ex is not from a MNC. Can you suggest me what should i do now? Its really demotivating if i hear random opinions that i should work in a proper company so as to implement what ive learnt in Engineering rather working with the family.

A bit about my very ordinary profile:

Academics:

I am from commerce background and took Economics as my graduation subject.

Class X : 87%, Class XII : 89% Graduation (Economics Hons from DU) : 60%

Work Ex:

1.5 years in an MNC Bank, in Operations, as Advisor

3 years in a PSU Bank in Operations ( Branch Banking) as an Officer

4months (till date) in Government of India (sarkari naukri) as an Assistant (Assistant Section Officer)

ECA

At school level, I participated in few Debates and Discussions, but have not won any prizes.

During college, I was the President of our Economics Society in my final year.

I also took up a summer job during college.

I learned Classical Dance for two years while I was working

Also completed JAIIB ( Banking).

Other than that there is absolutely no other ECA to my credit.

Though I am trying to now take up new activities and develop few interests to add to my profile, but still they would be in the short term only, right.

I am aiming for 700+ in GMAT and considering such an ordinary profile,

1) which schools should I target.

2) Do i have a chance at any of the top universities?

3) What can I do to enhance/improve my profile

Thanks a lot in advance
