Hi guys,
I am a Computer Science Graduate from IIIT-Hyderabad in India(1 of the top schools for Computer Science).
CGPA(7.3)-bit on the lower side owing to a lot of varied subjects across a variety of fields.
Plenty of experience in C++, also qualified for ACM-ICPC national level programming contest in C++.
GRE-170Q+160V
Work experience- 1.2 years as a quant developer(C++) for Edelweiss Financial Services, Mumbai, Algorithmic Trading Department, 1 year as a Software developer at Epic Systems, Madison, Wisconsin, US.
Currently working as a quant developer(C++) at iRageCapital, Mumbai, India.
What are my chances of getting into a top MFE program. Looking for something in the NYC area.
 
You are a dime a dozen for MFE programs. Which means your chances are just as good as anyone else (8-12% approximately)

By the way, do some research on US immigration if you plan to stay in the US post-graduation (permanently). It is becoming nearly impossible for Indians to get employment-based green cards in a timely manner.
