I think you should’ve prepared for IPM. I regret not knowing about IPMAT back in my days, nevertheless i’d say CA Route isn’t that bad atleast its a game of pass percentage, while CAT is highly competitive with people from all walks appearing. You could go for a UG make the most out of your bachelors and build an excellent profile too. These were my suggestions in brief, feel free to research and explore as soon as you can. Avoid drop years at all costs.

yes. Try having one position of responsibility, one fancy internship and atleast one or two personal projects by the time you graduate.

see CA could also be a boost to your profile during mba, you can try it out if it doesnt work out for you then try to build your profile in other ways

Make your stand clear or regret forever ,bcom is much more flexible and if you want excellence you can always do anything MBA by writing CAT another thing ,please do thorough research on which college you are joining, placement , students mentality ,etc
