Good acads is a very subjective categorization of your academics. Your acads might be good enough for other colleges, but not be good enough for IIM A/B/C. I know people who got shortlisted for B/L at 93 percentile/97 percentile also. Because, either they have exceptional acads or have relevant work experience or both. Hence don't get disheartened by not getting shortlist this year. Work your level best and try to get even a higher percentile next year and go for A/B/C/L.

Sure you can. Any graduate is eligible to apply for admission for MBA. Most of the colleges require an entrance exam for admissions into their MBA program.
