Yes, you should. Work hard and aim for the top 15 institutes. Your academics can be overshadowed with a great CAT score and a brilliant interview.

You have a good working experience, it would be a good option if you opt for 1-year executive MBA course. You can opt for GMAT and try to get into 1-year course offered by ISB-Hyderabad, Great Lakes or IIMs.
