Don't retake the exam unless you can comfortably score 40-50 points more. Your score isn't amazing, but it's good enough. As an Indian male with an engineering background, the last thing you should be doing is focusing on taking and re-taking exams. Focus on your application.

Would you think it is good enough for Insead, MIT, LBS ? ??
I know our pool is the worst in terms of competition - but want to give a realistic shot ..
Do you think with my current profile it is difficult to reach the goal...
