Hello Aspirant
Seeing as you had a gap of 2 years, it will be very difficult to get into a top MBA college. This is because of two reasons-
(1) Top MBA colleges demand a work experience of a minimum 2-5 years. They rarely accept a fresher into their institutions (IIM A, IIM B, IIM C, etc.) They demand experienced candidates, ones who have worked with good and well-known companies. With zero experience, it'll be difficult to get admission, whether you have a drop year or not.
(2) Since you have a gap of 2 years, it'll be difficult to explain how you used or utilized it in your favor. Colleges, especially MBA colleges need a good enough reason for your drop to admit you into their institution. In their Interview round, they'll continuously ask you questions about that.
I would still suggest you appear for the CAT exam and score really well (6 percentile and above), because if you have a high percentile in the exam and really good academic background, they'll be forced to admit you to their institution.
Hope this helps, All the best!
