Your grade 12th marks will effect your acceptance a little. You should be able to prove that you are more than your grade 12 marks by your skills and knowledge in the interview. Before all that, you need to perform exceedingly well in your CAT to get an interview call.

1) Start reading English newspaper. Not only front page (boring ) news, but every part of the newspaper. yes I mean those Bollywood, Hollywood, stuffs too. That will improve your vocab as well.
2) Follow Foreign You tubers. Watch their as many videos, as many times, as you can! Try speaking at the same pace they are speaking, first by reading the subtitles, then without subtitles.

Hello Shrishti,
Both CAT & UPSC exams have a different level of difficulty. Don't get confused. Know what you want to do. Since you will require complete dedication to clear either one of them.
Go through the syllabus thoroughly and then decide.
Good luck!

Well, management quota admissions are available. You can filter the college list and then enquire if they are taking admission through management quota.
I would suggest you to write few entrance exams though.
Good luck!

You can start preparing for CAT. You can start with the basics of maths of 9-10th. Start practicing on Reading Comprehension and Verbal. Look at the previous year's questions. Get a feel of CAT pattern and decide which is your weak and strong portion. Prepare a schedule accordingly.

Most of the colleges have eliminated the GD process and replaced it with WAT(Written Ability Test) which is more of a test of your thought formation and english writing skill and not just about having the highest voice in a fish-market. But PI still remains the most integral part of the process. Hence if you feel that you are not confident enough in English, I would suggest you work hard towards it and if required join a coaching center for the same and overcome your hurdle.
