what i understand from your query is that you wish to pursue your studies and upskill yourself. As mentioned that you have appeared of CAT and scored 64 well there are many universities and colleges that offer MBA on this score too in case you wish to opt for MBA. Apart from that you can look into 3 more options that go well with your field  that is Interior Designing, Certified Land Valuer & Certified Land Surveyor.

To become an Interior Designer you can opt for a Certification Diploma in Interior Designing.

To become a land Valuer, you should have a 5 years experience along with your Bachelors in Civil Engineering or have B.Arch degree. You need to opt for 50 hours of compulsory training from a Registered  Valuer Organisation that is recognised by the IBBI( Insolvency & Bankruptacy Board of India. After the training you need to appear for an exam and score minimum 60%. Once you pass the exam then you can register yourself wit the IBBI for COP ( Certificate of Practice).

The next option is to become a Certified Land Surveyor by clearing the exam conducted by Indian Institute of surveying and Mapping, or Institution of Surveyors, or Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors.

In case you wish to opt to work in Government Sector then you can appear for IES (Indian Engineering Services) which is conducted by UPSC.

All the best

A score of 64 marks in CAT would likely fall around the 85th percentile depending on the difficulty of the exam and the overall performance of candidates in this year.

So,it is highly unlikely that you will receive a call from any of the IIMs as the required percentile for an IIM call is typically much higher, usually ranging from 90% and above, especially for top IIMs like Ahmedabad, Bangalore, and Calcutta.

If you are looking for MBA programs, consider exploring other B-schools that may have lower cut-offs for admission.

Here are some B-schools that may have lower cutoffs for admission:

SOIL Institute of Management: Has a CAT cut-off of 75 percentile

T. A. Pai Management Institute (TAPMI), Manipal: Has an expected CAT cut-off of 85+

Great Lakes Institute of Management (GLIM): Has an expected CAT cut-off of 85+

MICA: Has an expected CAT cut-off of 85+

S.P. Jain Institute of Management and Research (SPJIMR), Mumbai: Has a CAT cut-off of 85 percentile

Shailesh J. Mehta School of Management (SJMSOM), Mumbai: Has a CAT cut-off of 97.5 percentile

Others are IIT Bombay, IIT Kharagpur, IIT Roorkee, JBIMS, XIMB, and GIM.

Now coming to your academic background which often calculated as a weighted average based on the importance of each component different b school has different criteria for it.
