Is it okay to drop a year to prepare for CAT and XAT, etc. entrance exams? Will it affect my career in any way? Do schools accept gap years?

You need to start preparing at least one and a half year prior to when you wish to appear for the exams. So, if you start preparing halfway down the 2nd year then at the end of the 3rd year you are good to go.
