Hello Anindita.
Though the situation seems to be tough and slim, i would really suggest you to fill up the form and really do well in WAT & PI provided your acedemic performance in 10th,12th and graduation is also important as the overall weightage is taken into consideration for the final selection.
Good luck. -
Firstly, I don't understand that how you've given CAT 2018? LAST time it was held in december 2017. Anyway, even on these scores, you firstly set your priorities based on location preferences, budget and your area of specialization. Then, look out for colleges accepting other scores like MAT CMAT, you may appear for MAT as it takes place 4 times in a year. And some colleges conduct their own tests too, like Indraprastha, Delhi and Banasthali Vidyapeeth. So, look out for colleges that match your preferences and give weightage to other aspects like 10th, 12th and graduation marks equally.
All the very best! -
