Here you can have a look
Eligibility Criteria

Candidates must read theeligibility criteriabefore applying for CAT 2018:

Qualifying Exam:Applicants must hold the Bachelor Degree in any discipline from a recognized institution.
Minimum Marks:Aspirants have to score minimum50% marksin aggregate (45% marks for SC/ST and PwD candidates).
Appearing Candidates:Applicants those who are appearing in final year examination can also apply.
CS/CA/ICWA candidates are also eligible to apply.

So it is a daunting task ahead as you can see here if you are from general category you need to score atleast 50%.  The chances of getting a good college after scoring good percentile are not so bright.
Nevertheless don't loose hope and keep working towards your goal. You will get a success.

A criteria for a student to be eligible for appearing in CAT exam is that a student should have above 50% in 10th 12th and graduation all the three for General category and 45% in SC/ST category.

So in your case if you are a general/OBC category student then with your degree percentage below 50% will not be eligible for CAT exam.

Instead of CAT exam you can give XAT exam which does not have any academic boundations like the CAT exam.

But still I will like to tell you that most of the colleges have the same eligibility criteria of having more than 50%. So it's going to be very difficult for you to find a very good college even after scoring very high percentile. And the colleges you might get will not be worth for pursuing your MBA degree.

So please I strongly recommend to rethink about your career decision.

All the best!!
