Can I get a top 50 B-school based on this low academics profile 4/6/5.... I nail the CAT & OMETs

Asked by Dhruv on 2026-07-16 in General MBA Doubts

My academics are very low 4/6/5 and about the overall profile.
General Non-Engineering Male
Academics: 4/6/5
Graduation: B.com 2025 tier 3 college from Mumbai
Internships: 4 internships (2 with college and 2 after graduation)
1. CA firm: Accounts Intern (Dec 2023 - March 2024)
2. CA firm: Audit Intern (July 2024 - Feb 2025)
After graduation internships both are in the same company:
3. D2C Brand: Accounts & Finance Intern (Aug 2025 - Feb 2026)
4. D2C Brand: Marketplace Intern (March 2026 - May 2026)
Gap Year: 1 year (2026 - 2027)

Till now I have not started studying seriously bcoz I'm worried about the academics part I can crack CAT & any OMET with a good percentile can I get a top 50 B-school and my basics are very weak and I haven't studying seriously can I crack CAT in 130 days.

Dhruv, my suggestion is to focus completely on whichever MBA entrance exam you plan to take, whether it's CAT, XAT, NMAT, SNAP, or any other. Don't let your academic record distract you.

If you score well in any of these exams, you can definitely receive calls from top B-schools. Yes, some colleges, like the BLACKI IIMs, may be difficult, but there are many other excellent business schools as well.

Just give it your best and put in your full effort.
