Hello,
There is no harm in preparing for the CAT exam with that score. With a great percentile, who knows, you might end up with an interview call from a top B-school. You should target FMS New Delhi as it doesn't give any importance to your past academic scores; though its cutoff is high (approx. 99 percentile) and not just CAT, you should prepare for other exams too as backup like XAT, SNAP, NMAT, etc.

Utilise the CAT predictor by Shiksha. In my opinion you need a kickass CAT percentile (in the realm of above 99 %ile) to get a call (no work-ex as well).

You must target to score at least 97 percentile to get calls from newer IIMs or top B-Schools like MDI, XLRI, XIMB and S. P. Jain. As you have a good academic profile, you can surely expect few more good B-Schools call.

IIMs take admission on the basis of a valid CAT score and GD-PI. You can get a call from IIM on the basis of your fantastic performance in CAT exam not on the basis of your academics only.
I hope you'll understand it better.

Hello,
90 – 95 percentile is a very good score in CAT, but unfortunately, the fees of top b-schools are sky touching. Like you can crack some of the IIMs with this score, but the fees would be very high for you.
I would suggest you to look for FMS - Delhi, as its fee structure is really low and that institute is really good for girls and I have heard, they have lowered down their cut-off list.
