CAT 2013 or advance with my career?

Hi, Puys, need help. Got 89.25 in CAT’12. Missed on many good colleges this year, might be attributed to my below average acads (59.4 in B.E., in particular). Was just wondering should I go for CAT’13 or keep working as a Sofware Engineer …

Hi,


Puys, need help. Got 89.25 in CAT'12. Missed on many good colleges this year, might be attributed to my below average acads (59.4 in B.E., in particular). Was just wondering should I go for CAT'13 or keep working as a Sofware Engineer (where I really don't wanna be stuck)? In my opinion, colleges give a lot of preference to prev. yr. acads and I am just guessing that even if I could score 96-98%ile this year, would I ever get a decent enough college?


My acads-

10th: 70.6

12th: 63.0

B.E.: 59.4

Work-ex: 27 months (Software Engineer in a CMMI-Level 5 company)


Please assist, I am targeting the Top-20 elite group this year.


Thanks,

Achal
