It would totally depend on your preference and your strengths. Please understand that almost in 90% of the cases, most people have completely unrelated graduation background. For example, if you are good in quant I would suggest finance or general MBA. Or you like marketing or operations, you can choose that specialization. Job prospect wise, its all same with minor difference. I would recommend that you pick courses/specialization that you like or are good at.

Yes you are. You are eligible when you score more than 60% in 10th, 12th and graduation.

It would violate the privacy of the candidates and it would not be representative of the situation. As CAT is held in different slots and with different difficulty level. Unless normalized, stand alone scores would mean very little. Hence they publish only normalized rank and percentile (which is rank of candidates).

It totally depends on your preference and what you want to do in your life. For example, marketing and at times finance companies look to hire freshers or students with relevant experience. Consulting and general management firms typically hire people with some experience. Also if you work for a couple of years, you get some insights into corporate world and hence are better placed to make decisions regarding your career. keeping these things in mind you should decide when you want to pursue your MBA. Either way you are not disadvantaged to get an admission in IIMs.

With less than 60% in graduation, many colleges would not consider you for admission. However there are special cases that you can look for. A few b-schools accept students based on their profile (mostly work-experience). You can look at that. Also IIMs offer interview call to everyone who secures a rank of less than 100 in CAT (irrespective of previous performance). You can look at these options.

Yes, you can expect a call from IIMs. You will have to secure a good percentile. Eligibility criteria for the IIMs is that you need to have at least 60% in 10th,12th and graduation. On top of this, you will have to clear CAT cutoff (and at times a composite score ). CAT cutoff usually goes as high as 99.5 percentile. Hence, I would suggest that you do really well in CAT.
