Hello Rishabh,
Most of the top b-schools like the IIMs, MDI, NITIE etc have a defined criteria for selection of candidates.
Considering your case, you have got decent academic credentials and they should meet the eligibility criteria of most of the top B-Schools.
So focus on your preparation for CAT and moreover for the GD and interviews.
