Hi, looking for advice on my CAT 2027 target percentile.

10th: 92.6%
12th: 90.6%
Graduation: Expected 80–85%
Degree: BS Data Science, IIT Madras (Distance Learning)
Category: General
Gender: Male
Work Experience: Fresher
Backlogs: None

Target colleges: BLACKI, IIM Mumbai & FMS Delhi.

What percentile should I realistically target for calls from BLACKI, IIM Mumbai and FMS, considering my profile?

Also, does the IIT Madras BS Data Science (online/distance) degree affect my eligibility or academic-diversity points?

Any realistic profile-based estimate would be appreciated!

12th 63, PCMB,2020
failed in maths as I was unable to prepare due to health issues, appeared for compartment and cleared my 12th in 2021 by appearing with 2021 batch students

After that I was preparing for Neet in 2021 and 2022, If I count from 2020 have a gap of 2 yrs,
2022- 2026 Jan finished my graduation pursued online BBA from Manipal Jaipur with 8.4 GPA
I just turned 23 and I'm having a gap after graduation as well, I am just preparing for CAT, scoring 70 - 80 in every mocks, even crossed 90 in a few.
I have some freelancing work for an instagram influencer with 50k followers and ran a clothing business for around 2 yrs during graduation, but no full time workex.

I have multiple gap years in my profile, a class 12 th failure and my online graduation.
How difficult will it be to justify it in interviews and what's the target percentile for BLACKI

A critical query about CAT exam form filing

The Academic section of the form asks about my maximum marks in 12th grade

So I gave all exams of the main 5 subjects in 12th, and had picked one extra sixth subject which I was absent in, but since only 5 subjects are considered in 12th, I passed with around 91%, and the marksheet has the scores of 5 subjects and the 6th subject as AB (absent)

But the CAT form asks me to fill the max marks of ALL the subjects, so what do i do? This will reduce my percentage unnecessarily if I count the sixth subject too
