Dear Biswajeet40659,
A gap in your academic or professional career would not stop you from getting in an IIM, provided you excel on other parameters such CAT score, Personal Interview, WAT etc. Significant extra curriculars and community service also might help you in adding value to your profile.
Hope it helps, all the best!

A BIG yes. Yes you can. It all depends on how well you explain in the interview. Explain very well what you learnt during that year. Why exactly was that gap taken. What matters is your focus and nothing else. What may seem right at one point in time not necessarily has to feel right at another. People understand that. Just stay confident and true.

Hi Biswajeet, probability of getting into IIM with one year gap gets reduced but still one can make it if he is able to pull off interview by impressing the panel. It is generally recommended that there should not be gap for preparing for CAT, it is generally considered bad. I would suggest you to show one years of work exp at an NGO. As the interview questions would generally be around that one year gap.
