You can prepare and appear for the CAT or any other management entrance test and pursue an MBA. Although you have three years of gap, there is no need to worry about this as you will be given an opportunity to justify it during the Personal Interview process. Now, in order to justify this gap, you can do some certificate courses, work in an NGO, pursue something related to your area of interest, etc. This gap year will not directly impact your selection chances in the business school but you should have a valid reason to support you answer. Apart from going for an MBA, you can also look for a job or can appear for any other competitive examination.

Hello

Generally admissions are given based on your rank. So based on your overall percentile in JEE your rank could be between 56470 - 63480 approximately.

Unfortunately, Based on the marks you scored, it will be difficult to get admitted into NIT Trichy under OBC category. However there is also a second chance for you to attend for JEE, so I recommend you to take that chance and score better.

The Common Admission Test (CAT) is the most important component to get admission to any of the elite IIM. In order to get admission to IIM Ahmedabad, Bangalore or Calcutta, you must obtain a good percentile in the CAT. However, even scoring a 99.5 percentile in the CAT will not give you a guarantee to get an interview call subject to the condition that you belong to the reserved category or diversified academic background. IIMs has a very complex admission process.

IIMs give consideration to a lot of factors while giving an interview call. These factors include CAT score, Class 10, Class 12, and Bachelor's degree marks, work experience, academic, and gender diversity, etc. Your first priority should be to clear both the overall and sectional percentile.

If you even score more than 99.5 percentile in the CAT , this will not mean that you will get a confirm Interview call. Therefore, the CAT score is not the only criteria but is one of the major criteria for admission.

The marks obtained by you in Class 10, Class 12, and Graduation will play a major role to get a shortlist for the WATPI process and during your final selection. Therefore, you have good chances to get admission in IIM A, B, C subject to the condition that you must perform well in the CAT followed by the WATPI process.
