Hello Aakash,
These days, most of the colleges offer guarantee of 100% placement, but what matters is the quality of job.
Either you get a package of INR 2 lakhs or INR 20 lakhs, in both the cases you will be called as placed. But, what matters is will it be worth.
So, don't go for such 'guaranteed placement trap'.
Also, with 85% marks, you will be able to crack decent colleges.
And, the job you will get from there will totally depend upon your intelligence, understanding of the subject, etc.

The time span doesn't really matter, but the dedication matters.
CAT is not an easy nut to crack.
You will have to give your best to pass through it with flying colors.
MAT is an easy option as its difficulty level is below CAT.

Hello Aditi,
Well, honestly, there is no certainity in anything. Exactly like, Getting into an IIM also doesn't guarantee you a job. Similarly, not getting into an IIM doesn't mean that your studies are of no worth.
What matters is your dedication and hardwork and trying to be best in things we do.

Hello! Yes, you can take a gap after graduation to prepare for CAT(many freshers prefer it every year); nothing wrong with it. However, it will be better if you do something productive during this gap time(e.g. internship, certification courses, etc) which will highlight your interest in your desired MBA field. The reason for this is, CAT preparation normally takes around 3-4 hours on a daily basis only. And you might be asked about what else you did apart from preparing for CAT and/or other exams, during the PI round. And, of course, it will also help in building up your resume; giving you an edge over the other freshers during the hi

If you get admission in IIMs then it doesn't matter that you have work experience or not because your career is secure. But if you have work experience then it will count in evaluation at the time of admission and also you will get career growth also. Pursuing IT job and then MBA will help you in advancing in the same field.
