pls suggest my gameplan

I need advise from experts around here on what should be my course of action during my 2nd yr in order to get in IB. Most of the odds are against me.

I am a 2nd yr MBA student in a Non-Target MBA school. I could not secure any IB internship in USA and since I disparately wanted to have that experience, I took up one in my home country (India) in M&A product group. My both GPA and GMAT are not stellar (3.7, 690). Though, I have IIT (one of the best engg. institutes in Asia) brand (undergrad) in my bag.

Please suggest.

Thanks pvj
