Hello,

IIM B is most probably out since, they have a hard limit on the !0th and 12th percentages (I believe it is 80%). You do have a chance to get a call from A and C, with a good CAT score/percentile.

To improve your CV, you need to opt for some courses relevant to your subject or join a firm and get work experience if at least 1-2 years.
You can get courses in Coursera and similar websites. You can also look for any 2-4 months internship on Internshaala.
If you are looking for work experience in financial sector, you can look for 6-12 months work with NBFCs, Microfinance firm, broking firms.
You can also look for NGO related work.

Hi Omkar,
I am sorry to say but first of all you'll have to perform really well in any of these exams. Your admission depends on the different criteria that colleges follow and it varies.
