Dear aspirant, Please note that MBA is a huge investment of time and money. Two years of your youth are invested in that! And you do it generally once. Hence, try to get the best college you can. I am sure that with better and more focused preparation you can get into the 80 percentile tier which will enable you decent schools. In India, only the top 30-35 colleges are considered worthy to join and at your percentile, none of them will be accepting you. 58 percentile is not the end of the journey for you.

Hello!
Unfortunately, there is no good and reputed B-school anywhere in India where one can expect getting admission with that score in the CAT exam. And the ones you might get won't simply be worth enough to pursue MBA; a total waste of both time (2 years) as well as money (in Lacs). I suggest you to either reappear for CAT (or other exams as per your wish) next year or focus on the other upcoming exams like MAH-MBA CET and MAT.
Good luck!
