You have a good chance of admission at IIM- C/FMS and other premium B-Schools. I would suggest you to prepare for current affairs, B.Tech related basics, macroeconomics and some puzzles and mathematics as such for WAT & PI.

No, your overall CAT score is considered for IIM calls. Having said that, you can play on your strengths and excel in verbal/LRDI and manage to clear the cut-off of quant section to get calls, provided you manage a good overall CAT score.

No problem. You can always re-appear next year. But I would suggest to gain some relevant experience while dropping for CAT.
