If you are working, or is in the final year of graduation and is ready to give CAT next year, then surely that's the best option. You can attempt other entrances like XAT CMAT NMAT etc. And try to GET into a good college. But, do make sure you do something productive or take some new courses to add to your CV while dropping the year, because during interviews you might have to justify the year gap. Otherwise, if you don't have any high expectations on the placement side then you can right away take admission in colleges like NDIM, Jaipuria Institute, SCMS Cochin, Alliance Bangalore, ITM Navi Mumbai etc.
