CAT

The expected cut off for NC OBC is 65 percentile.

Sorry, but you can't. There could be some colleges, but those won't be a reputed college in terms of placement.

If you want to join the top B-school, then you must score in the entrance exams, because it is not that much easy to get through these top B-schools. All the reputed B-schools such as IIMs, and other renowned management institutes in India admit students not only depending on their graduation marks, but also with a valid rank in the entrance tests like CAT XAT MAT etc. Competition is so hard out there that you have no scope to escape from this. So, if you are dreaming of those top B-schools, then start the preparation from now.

It depends upon your profile as well as how you performed in GDPI. On the Basis of evaluation and the courses that you have applied for, you will be selected accordingly. If you have applied for various courses, then wait for the lists as there will be many.

Hello Anindita.
Though the situation seems to be tough and slim, i would really suggest you to fill up the form and really do well in WAT & PI provided your acedemic performance in 10th,12th and graduation is also important as the overall weightage is taken into consideration for the final selection.
Good luck.

You have fair chances of getting the call.
Start preparing for the GD/PI.For placement related statistics you can visit the official website.
Good Luck!

Yes, it is definitely okay to drop a year for CAT preparations but if you work hard for it, not just for fun because CAT is not an exam which can be qualified easily. This exam is conducted to check the capability and Eligibility of a student who want to study in IIM and B business colleges. So, if you can consume work time, you can do it but if you cannot qualify that a drop will not be good for you.
Good luck.
Thank you.
