Hi Yogesh,
If you are working in a private bank after completing B.Tech in mechanical engineering, then you must opt for MBA. Moreover, if you want to change your field, then you must prepare for GATE exam.

One year of gap year will not have any impact during campus placement of prestigious B-Schools after MBA. One or two years gap is always condoned by any recruiter.
All the best for CAT 2017.

You have only 20 days left. So better revise the chapters which have more weightage of marks. Mechanics is the most important part. So try to complete this part. Most questions are asked from that part only and practice numerical problems also and there is no need to revise the derivation which is a big relief.

Keep your basics clear, try application based problems from reference books available for PCM. Try giving tests either through test series conducted by coaching or previous years question papers.

You can be honest or you can also tell them something like you were helping out in your family business.
