Thank you for the kindest words ❤️ You scored well in your first attempt especially with limited practice, so this year you can surely do well. Since BSc is treated at par with engineering at many B-schools you'd need a high CAT percentile, I'd suggest to target 99.65+. For many you may not need this much due to category benefit but aim higher. To cover up the gap, do internships, courses, gain skills, read up more, work on communication skills.
