Your career graph is great. Now you need a CAT percentile more than 90% and you should give your best in GD-PI.

Your marks in all of your academic careers are good enough.
What matters is how much you can score in your MBA entrance examinations. The higher you score, the better chances you have to make it to some of the best B-Schools in the country.
