In my opinion,
Realistically, it is going to be difficult but not impossible. If you are targeting BLACKI then you have to score above 99.5%ile rather a 99.9%ile. If the baby iims or new then go for 99.5%ile. That's just one of the phase. U should focus on maximising that section of CAT which led you to score less in your undergrads. Interviewers will grill you on that part. Moreover, your work ex is not enough as below 1 year is nothing.
For ex: if u score less in maths in 12th then u have to get a 99.9%ile in QA to justify that even if you scored less in 12, you have proven over the years.
All of these are my opinion and the little knowledge I have gathered in the last one year while being in this prep world.
