Focus on making the most of your work experience especially if you’re targeting finance or consulting u can also build some relevant skills or projects before joining focus on getting a strong CAT percentile and building skills in the area u want to pursue once you’re in SIPs and placements depend on a lot more than just CGPA just focus on what u can control now

What would actually matter is what score do you get in the exam. You have a good profile so aim for 98+ in CAT/XAT. Then all the other things would be secondary.
