It depends and varies from b-school to b-school. And every year criteria changes.
B-schools like IIT delhi, IIT Kgp, IIT Roorkee shortlist on basis of work ex, past acads and CAT percentile.
While colleges like IITB and IITD have cutoffs around 99 and 98 respectively, IITKgp, IITK, IITM and IITR have it around 95.
Be it work experience or no work experience, you can always show why you are a good candidate. The most important thing that I learnt was that they are looking for a reason to to select you not to fail you.
Being a student of IITR i can assure you its one of the best b schools to aim for.

You might not be able to improve on your verbal part because it generally requires time. What you can do is start reading newspapers for building a momentum to read at one stretch of one full hour. That concentration creates a gap in exam.
For PI, don't bother. You need to stay on your senses because it is generally unpredictable. I would suggest you to go for quantitative aptitude with full strength because that can be improved in a week.
All the best.
