Profile is a goldmine! :)
You are the ideal diverse candidate consulting firms, investment banks, and FMCGs hunt for.
If this is your last serious attempt, here is a reality (i blv) MBA is worth the loan over CA loop: Loan is Not a Trap: A ₹25 Lakh loan at a BLACKI IIM feels heavy now, but average packages there are ₹30-35+ LPA. Most grads clear this debt within 18–24 months. It is an investment, not an expense.
Zero-Debt Alternative- If the loan genuinely stresses you out, target FMS Delhi or JBIMS Mumbai. Their fees are under ₹2-3 Lakh, & offer same elite placements as top IIMs. :)
Finally, Only leave CA for IIM A/B/C/L/K, FMS, XLRI, JBIMS or SPJIMR. If you convert any of these, the corporate growth, immediate salary jump, and network will vastly outperform starting as a fresher CA.
Give CAT your absolute everything this year. 👍🏼
