Hello,
Getting into top business schools like IIM Ahmedabad or IIM Bangalore is highly competitive and admission decisions are based on various factors which includes CAT scores, academic performance, work experience, and more. While having a very good score in CAT is important, it's not the only criteria for admission. It's also essential to have a well-rounded profile and stand out in other areas.
Since you don't have good academics, I suggest you to perform well in your graduation and also build you profile by doing courses, extra curricular activities and most importantly internships. This will help you standout along with your brilliant CAT score.
Hopw this helps,
Thank you
