There is no weight-age for work experience in majority of IIMs. Students with work experience may get a minor edge during Personal Interview. Admission in IIMs after CAT is based on following criteria:
(a) GDPI Call: 70% weightage will be given to the scores of CAT and 30% weightage to the Application Rating Score (Xth marks, XIIth marks, Graduation Marks)
(b) Final Selection: Group Discussion: 10%, Personal Interview: 40%, weightage to the Composite Score at the final stage of selection to arrive at the Aggregate Score: 50%
Above mentioned weightage vary in different IIMs.

Hello Hardik,
To be honest, nobody else but you can answer this question best. If you are interested in your family business, then go for it. Or, if you believe you have better chances with CAT (MBA), then choose MBA.
You also have an option of gaining experience from that business first and then pursuing CAT.

Apologies for the late reply! Yes, there is a penalty of -1 mark levied for every wrong answer in the CAT exam. The marking pattern is +3, -1; no mark is deducted for an unattempted question.

Hello! Apologies for the late reply! Yes, you can appear for CAT since you are in the final year. However, you have to ensure that all the pending backlogs are cleared by the time the college starts its academic session(of course, provided you get admission there). The colleges state a specific deadline within which all the necessary mark sheets and other relevant documents should be duly submitted.

Hello! No, only the IIMs conduct the coveted and highly competitive CAT exam. It is held every year in online mode during November end or December first week, This year, it is held by IIM-L(Lucknow) on Nov 26th.

With only 70 percentile in CAT, it is impossible to get into a good and reputed college, as the cutoff of such colleges is, generally, 85 percentile and above. And the ones you might get at that score will be average. I suggest you reappear for CAT(and/or other exams) and aim for a much better score. Good luck!

You have to fill the college application forms separately.

With 85-90 percentile in CAT, you can expect calls from Fewer IIMS, KJ Somaiya, Narseemonjee, GOA Institute of Management, FMS etc.
