YOUR ADVICE:

Re-take the GMAT. As an engineer/techie, you need to do whatever it takes to boost that verbal score. An engineer with a low verbal sends a huge red flag about your critical thinking skills (which is what the verbal section measures). If you're only using books, consider taking a course, or hiring a private tutor in your area (even if you're in India, you should be able to find one locally given the sheer number of Indians that apply to b-school each year). Shoot for a verbal score that is as close to 80% as possible.



CHANGE:

According to your advice i took private tutoring. I have taken GMAT again on 1st sep 2008. score 700 (M50 V34). please evaluate again considering this score.I want to go into some top B schools(top20) in 2009.

Congrats on the new GMAT score.

Schools in the lower half of the top-16 such as Darden, Duke, Michigan, Haas, NYU, Yale, UCLA and Cornell are schools where you could be in the mix assuming you can put together a strong application. Schools where you should have a reasonable shot of getting in are in the tier below that -- UT-Austin, Georgetown, UNC, USC and CMU.

For Europe, Oxford and Cambridge being schools where you should be competitive for.
