Hi Rituparna,
Thanks for contacting Career360.
It would have been helpful if you could have mentioned your role in the IT industry. Anyway, the roles offered to MBAs are mostly different to what is offered to undergrads in the IT Industry. So, mostly you'd be changing your job profile after MBA irrespective of the college you join.
Now coming to the options you have or the colleges you should apply at 178 NMAT scores and their expected cutoff
1. Xavier's School of Rural Management - 50%ile
2. ICFAI Business School Hyderabad - 150+
3. ITM Navi Mumbai - 150+
These are some reputed colleges, if you want to apply to more, check the below-mentioned list:
1. Woxsen School of Management - 160+
2. Amity Business School, NOIDA - 60%ile
