McKinsey is highly choosy if i am not wrong.

How does one get into it, say his grades are above average, not the top of the class.

Graduation was from a great college, PG is from a old college which is currently for common parlance a T2 MBA college and has quite good number of alums at McKinsey Insights at good positions.

Anyone from MBB , who could help me understand how should one navigate?

You should reach out to the MBA alums via LinkedIn. I think they will have a good perspective on what it takes.
