Hi,
Last year, the CMAT cut-off required to get admission in NIBM was 73 percentile.

You can't get actual CAT question papers as it is restricted by IIMs.
However, you can get a similar pattern of questions from various coaching institutes. Books following the previous year's patterns are also available in the market which I think, will suffice your needs.

Yes, you can apply for it. If you have any problem then you can try for MAT (May 2018). There is no difference.

You should solve last 5 to 6 year question papers and mock test paper. This help you in CAT exam preparation.

I don't think you should. This time, you should focus on your Bachelor's course, then afterward you should start preparing for it. One thing that you can do is you can prepare for the basics of CAT sections which you can do by yourself or on-line.

Hello,
If your aim is the top three I.e. SIBM, SCMHRD and SIIB, then a score of roughly at least 92 percentile and above (as per previous years' trends) should be good enough to fetch an interview call. As 50% weight age is given to the SNAP scores during the admission process, the more one scores in the exam, the better it will be to convert the call.
