Schengen Visa application approval chances/Application strength?

I am a government officer(IAS) in India. I am planning an international trip in next 4-5 months and confused between an European country(maybe Italy or Spain), Japan or some South East Asia Country. I have done only 1 international trip till now of a SEA country.
Being a government employee I don't have very high salary(ITR) or great assest, and also lack of previous visa to countries like European countries/USA/Japan etc.
So my question is, are there decent or strong chances of my visa getting approved or not? I don't want to go through all the hustle just to get rejected, rather I would put my effort to a more Indian passport friendly country. Plus I will get NOC with much difficulty, so don't want to waste my NOC if Visa is going to get rejected( I will have to reapply for NOC )
Guide me.
