Other than hard work, a bit of smart work is too required for the same. You need to analyse which topic has more weightage and should focus on the same.

I am assuming here that you would clear the basic minimum cutoff which stands at 50% for IIMs. Also another way to get into some of the good business school is based on your profile and not just academic record. If you can build your profile well, you can explore that option as well.
