If your acads are strong you need not worry about gap. What matters for admissions the most is acad performance which yours is sorted. Only repare well for CAT and maybe do courses and all.

There are a bunch of things you can do to improve your profile and justify the gap (although this little a gap won't be a big deal and the interviewers only care about why you're taking the gap):
- Certifications/Courses (Coursera, Udemy)
- Case Competitions (Unstop)
- Live Projects
- Virtual Simulations (Forage)
- Internships (LinkedIn/Internshala)
- Volunteer in NGOs (iVolunteer)
- Freelancing (Fiverr, Upwork)
- Knowledge (Watch YT videos, stay active on Twitter)
- Portfolio (Build your own website)
- AI Projects (use websites like Lovable)
You can pick a mix of these. If you need a solid backup, you can either look for a job, freelance/start your own business or side gig or take other exams like XAT NMAT CMAT or even banking and govt exams if interested.
