Hello Aspirant
Being an Engineering graduate you need to score 99+ percentile in CAT to secure a call from top MBA colleges though even at this percentile some colleges won't call you considering your graduation and 12th marks.
Your profile is not good, to be very honest. Class 12th and graduation marks are a major drawback in your profile. That's why you need to score as much as you can.
You should also get a full time job if you want to score some points in work experience since internships are not considered as work experience in CAT. But all this will matter only when you would get a call so score as high as you can to secure a call first.
All the best.

Come on mate , don't loose hope. You can still have a go at tier 1 colleges, you only need to score good enough and by good i mean your best. Don't think much about colleges and rather focus on preparation and get some job meanwhile as you will have to justify the gaps during interviews.
All the best.
