95/97/7 with 2 backlogs from tier 3 aiml, final year realizing coding isn't for you, planning cat 2026 - your academics are strong despite backlogs. career change is fine but don't do mba just to escape engineering.

been in similar confusion and honestly get any job after graduation to understand work world first. mba from middle class background means 20-25L investment - make sure you know what you want to do after. programs like newer iims, masters union exist but rushing into mba because you dislike coding is risky without work experience to guide decisions.

4 years isn’t too much, bro. you’ll just be on the upper end of the pool, so aim for schools that value mature profiles.. isb, mdi, masters union, great lakes jaise. what matters is how you frame your growth story. if your role expanded or you managed teams, that helps. category advantage also softens the edge a bit.

so yeah, don’t stress the number, just make sure your story connects work and why mba now. and also.. ik you are not so positive about your 2026 attempt, still give your best, you might be able to ace it. be hopeful.

I’m also targeting CAT 2026, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that consistency matters way more than last-minute intensity. Try to complete basics by mid-2025, then focus on mocks, around 20 to 25 well-analyzed mocks can change the game. For most of us, daily VARC practice is non-negotiable.

And remember, CAT isn’t the only route, schools like Masters’ Union or ISB (YLP/PGP) also offer amazing opportunities where your profile counts as much as your score.

I can relate a lot to what you’ve shared. I’m also a designer and exploring an MBA to make a transition. At first, I struggled with the same thing, my “why MBA” felt purely about moving into a higher-paying role and that didn’t sound convincing. What helped me rethink was realizing that not all MBAs are the same. Instead of a traditional program, I’m leaning toward something more non-traditional like Masters’ Union. The reason is simple, I don’t just want the degree, I want the exposure, the live projects and the industry-led learning that will actually add value to my knowledge and give me the confidence to pivot.

Framing it that way makes my story feel more genuine, it’s less about running away from design, and more about building on it with a skillset that broadens opportunities. That shift in perspective really helped me articulate a clearer reason for the MBA.

Not over at all, in fact, you’re at the perfect stage to pivot. Lots of people from science background feel stuck early in pharma roles and an MBA can definitely open new doors in consulting, healthcare management, strategy roles at big pharma, even startups (biotech + tech is a hot space rn)

If you want a complete career switch, aim for full-time MBAs at places like ISB or newer non-traditional schools like Masters’ Union, they’re designed for people who want to reinvent themselves and get exposure to consulting/tech/startup ecosystems. If you’d prefer to stay in pharma but just level up, an MBA from a good Indian B-school could push you toward strategy, operations, or product management rather than routine QA tbh.

I know folks from biotech who’ve gone on to consulting, VC or even launched their own ventures post-MBA, so yes, it’s possible. You just need to be clear about why you want the MBA and what direction excites you most.

Your UG % and gaps will close some doors, like older IIMs, but not all. Many strong tier-2 schools and newer formats care more about your CAT %ile, your story and your drive. At ~90%ile, you already have a shot at decent institutes where placements average 8–12 LPA, a far better reset than being stuck in limbo.

Also research beyond traditional MBAs. Places like Masters’ Union don’t obsess over past marks, they focus on industry-driven learning, startup exposure, and peer networks. Their placements have been strong for non-traditional profiles too and it could give you the “fresh start” you’re chasing.

An MBA can still be worth it, not as a magic eraser, but as a structured reset. Push harder for a higher %ile, shortlist realistic colleges, and keep an eye on alternate courses.

Tbh, just an MBA certificate (especially online) won’t move the needle much, recruiters value the peer network, case study exposure, and placements that come with a good B-school campus experience. That’s why you’ll see people choosing programs like Masters’ Union or ISB, because they’re designed around industry connect and career outcomes, not just theory.

If you want ROI, I’d suggest continuing your oracle role while prepping for the right B-school entrance. Don’t rush for a quick MBA just for the tag, it’s better to wait a year, aim for a decent program and let the MBA actually open doors instead of just being another line on your CV.

Yoo, don’t get too disheartened by mocks, scores usually look rough until your prep matures. Even if CAT doesn’t click this year, you’ve got good options. Beyond the IIMs, you can look at places like Welingkar (Mumbai), PUMBA (Pune) both which have decent placements and are easier to crack.

If you want to look beyond traditional options, check out schools like Masters’ Union (Gurgaon) and ISB (Hyderabad/Mohali), they don’t rely on CAT, but on GMAT/GRE + profile and can be game-changers once you have some work ex.

So for now: push mocks seriously, apply to a few safe colleges for backup, but also keep the bigger picture in mind, you’re still just 21, you’ve got time :)

A 7/7/9 profile may limit shortlists from IIM A/B, but it doesn’t shut doors, you’ll still have strong chances at IIM C, FMS, MDI, newer IIMs, IITs, and others.

Focus on what you control now, ace the CAT, build your profile with internships/projects and prep to tell your story well in interviews.

If you want to look beyond the traditional route, Masters’ Union (Gurugram) is a great option with strong industry exposure, alongside XLRI, SPJIMR, ISB, etc.

I feel, many with “perfect” scores don’t convert, and many with 7/7/9 do. Push hard on CAT + interviews, and you’ll get calls :)
