It is not something one can answer for you. It's something you need to discover for yourself. Rule of thumb: If you want to stick with the technical line then M.Tech. If you are more interested in management then MBA. Refer to this TOI article to make a more informed decision:

No MBA in mergers and acquisitions is not offered by IIM Ahmedabad. IIM A only offers degree in general management. Having said that, you can always take electives regarding mergers and acquisition in 2nd year, if you have particular interest in the said topic.

Do understand that unlike other government institutes (read IITs/NITs), IIM's do not take any form of monetary support from government. Hence, the complete expens

Sorry to say but your prior academic performance makes it very difficult for you to get a call from IIM A. Having said that, do search for colleges which do not give weightage to previous academics.

Since you have completed a 3-year degree in 5 years, I am assuming you have not-that-great academics. If that's the case then getting admission to IIM-A will be difficult even after getting a high percentile as IIM-A gives substantial weightage to academics.

After going through the basic reading materials, you can graduate to more advanced practice by going for more advanced time based sectional mocks. Do understand that CAT is a test against time also.

I would suggest you to go for general MBA which is offered by all premier B-schools and not concentrate on any specialization initially. You get to choose your specialization in final year based on your interest.

Prepare well for CAT. Hard work is the only way to get a decent percentile in CAT. I would suggest you to join a coaching center and religiously follow their guidelines if you are not self motivated enough. Otherwise, get your basics right and then go for mocks for practice.
