Will it hamper my chances to get into good colleges if I drop a year and appear in subsequent year's CAT?

I will appear this year, but I wanted to know that if I don't get into a good college, should it be better to drop a year and prepare better next time or not to waste time and go for the average college?

No, it will not hamper your chances. Prepare well for CAT & get into a reputed college. In between, you can also get some work experience if possible. That will be best for you. All the best.
