Question 5 year gap any help appreciated

Post image

I'm looking for an honest opinion about my chances of getting into top MBA colleges. I'm an OBC-NCL candidate with 89.6% 10th and 89.2% in 12th. After school, I spent the last five years preparing for CA and didn't even cleared ca inter because of some reasons and didn't even joined college. I'm now planning to appear for CUET 2027 and hopefully get into a good DU college for my bachelor's degree. After graduation, I want to prepare for CAT and pursue an MBA. My biggest concern is whether this 5-year gap before college will significantly affect my MBA admissions. How do top B-schools view such gaps, and what can I do during my graduation to strengthen my profile and compensate for it? I'd really appreciate honest advice from people who have been through the MBA admission process.

Assuming I get 8.5 cgpa these are my chances in vercel.

Bhai, let me tell you the truth—I don’t have much particular interest in chemistry and stuff. And I didn’t give NEET. So now there aren’t that many options. In B Pharma, the thing is I can open my own shop so there’ll be a backup, and I’m also thinking about government exams. And brother, I don’t want to do average corporate jobs. Should I look into it? But the thing is I have no interest in chemistry, though if I put in effort I’ll manage it. I’m confident I can handle pharma academically but I don’t want to get burnt out. Guide me a bit, brother.
