Also please let me know any other colleges other than this list I can apply for.

Hi rithik, You will short fall for IMT & IMI. I would recommend you to target MICA, TAPMI, GIM and FORE in that order TAPMI has 85% cut-off and you need a minimum of 50% in graduation, so you should be eligible to apply. These colleges have inflated placement figures and are usually not recommended. If you have the strength to go on for another year, I would recommend you to reappear for CAT since you have less work-ex(usually 3-3.5years fetches maximum marks during college selection process). Even if you join MBA with limited work-ex, you will not be eligible for many companies to sit for placements. Although, Ideal time to join MBA is with 1-3 years of work experience, there will be roles which require a minimum of 3 years work-ex. Also, work-experience makes you think from various perspectives and makes you all the more professional. Hence, try to do post-grad from a reputed institution with a sizable work-ex. We need not hurry into it. In any case, attend all the interviews. They aren't easy. Interviewers expect a certain degree of clarity and goal in one's life. If you are unsatisfied with the college, you can use these experiences for better performance in CAT next year. Good luck:)
