To tell you a harsh truth about joining a Big Consultancy firm, you need to be passed-out from IIM or IIT or any other Top B-School in India. The other way you can enter is if you switch from a renowned company to them, it's either these two.

I know two people who joined like this, one was the first way another was the second way. They don't care if you are highly competent for the role unless you have history working or studying in top companies or b-school.

Keep applying with experience

Sorry to say, some side courses won't be enough to get you into McKinsey. (Or even BCG or Bain)

You'll need stellar academic scores from Tier 1 colleges (both ug and pg) or as a lateral, you'll need to have experience in tier 1 companies.

Largely these are the major sources for getting into McKinsey. They are looking for pedigree and raw talent rather than certifications or any such things
