my grades are as follows
10th - 68%
12th - 53% with subjects as science and maths
B.Tech - 58% in computer science field but sadly i had backs and it took me one and a half yrs more to complete my engineering in which i had 14n backsafter that i have worked for two years in the field of marketing with some really good employers like oxfam and santander bank

Hi there,
one means to dress up your CV is the GMAT. I would concentrate on that and aim at achieving a minimum of 650 points. Then I would apply for an MBA program where your work experience will count much more than in an Master in Management program. A high GMAT score together with your work experience should help you get into a decent MBA program in Ireland or France.
Best wishes

Hi there,
if you do not make the GMAT you have a smaller number of potential MSc in Finance programs. I don't know how many require the GMAT and how many do not. But without the GMAT you clearly can not apply to those programs that require it - so your choices are fewer. Nevertheless, if you find three or five programs that do not require the GMAT and that satisfy you, forget about this argument and just go ahead.
Secondly, you mentioned doubts on your grades. If you get accepted then everything is fine. If you get not accepted, however, then a good GMAT score could help you out.
So, here is one way to move one:
- Find some schools that offer a MFin without requiring the GMAT.
- If you want to study there, move on and apply.
- If you get the message that your grades are not good try to get a good GMAT score.
- Apply again - at schools that do require and schools that do not require the GMAT (you may impress the latter as well).
Best wishes
