Hello Ishwari
It's okay. Though academic are given importance while calculating the cumulative score,but if you have got a call from a PGP programme of IIMA you just need to prove your mettle there in WAT and PI. If the interviewers find anything convincing in you, they will consider you. It's just one class that might show low scores, they might ask reason for low scores in this class, you just need to justify it honestly. So just forget about the past and focus on the opportunities that lie ahead.
Hope it helps you.
