You have decent trak record of marks. And since you also belong to OBC NC, you have a good chance to get call from IIM's if you score well in CAT(around 90/95+).

Apart from that, it is very difficult to say the colleges where you should apply until you tell about your mock scores.

But you should def apply to all the Govt Colleges where OBC NC has a quota.

Some of them being :

FMS,
IIT's,
MFC/MBE,
MIB/MHROD, etc..

1. Let us know your Mock Percentiles and then we will be able to say something regarding your chances of making into IIM's.

2. Over the years, the exam pattern for VA has changed from English Language Test to English Usage Test. So the only way is to read, read a lot and read diverse subject matter. The more and more varied books or magazines you read, the more comfortable and familiar you become with words and their usage.

3. All the best.. !!

It looks simple and easy but not so to decide on which B-School to apply for. Placements and ROI certainly are not the basis at all. Everything depends on "Deserve and Desire" formula. The first consideration, of course, is your own percentile scores in CAT, XAT, and other tests. When you score a decent level, you have a wide choice of best B-Schools but the results will be known only by Jan-Feb end unless you have a GMAT score. In the process you may end up spending for application forms, coaching centre and other preparatory expenses. To be on safe side, one may have to apply / prepare for 4-5 Schools of his or her range of scores. Certainly there is nothing like 'luck' factor because even after a good performance in Acads/Entrance Test level, GD/PI will be a decider too.

If your AIMCAT percentile is around 70, you can hope for a 90+ percentile in CAT. A CGPA of 8 will help, but there are some IIM's which expect a higher CGPA. You need to prepare well and aim for a top 2-3 percentile score to get interview calls from top management institutions. There is still time and you can definitely improve.

Try to improve your vocabulary. Also read the editorials in newspapers and take the sectional tests of TIME seriously. This will help you to score better in VA. Also the verbal passages in CAT are usually simpler than the ones in AIMCAT
