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.
All the best! -

All IIMs have different criteria (weightage to 10th, 12th, graduation, work experience, CAT score, gender). You can find the criteria for CAT 2016 in IIM websites. To increase the chance is to definitely score high in CAT. Also score well in the 4th year. Best wishes.
