Yes, you can get admission to a college if you score well in the CAT even if your academic score is low. Many Schools consider other factors in addition to CAT scores, such as academic profile, extracurricular activities, and personal traits. The minimum cutoff for admission to IIMs and top b schools may consider CAT score between 80-90 percentile.

First, you will have to clear the CAT cut-off to get shortlisted for an interview. Thereafter, you would progress through the interview rounds based on your performance in each round example: group discussion, personal interview etc.
