Yoga Teacher (3+ yrs work ex) Wanting to Pivot to MBA – Is BLACKI Realistic?

CAT Preparation

Hi everyone, I need some honest guidance regarding my career pivot. I graduated in 2020 and completed my MA in Yogic Science. My academics are: 10th: 8.6 CGPA 12th (Commerce with Maths): 89% Undergrad: 79%+ 3 years documented work experience (4–5 years actual) as a yoga teacher/therapist I’ve been teaching since COVID, and while I love practicing yoga personally, I no longer enjoy teaching it commercially. I feel I’ve given enough time to this field and want to pivot into something more financially stable and structured long-term. I’m considering going all-in for CAT. My questions: With my profile (non-engineer, female, commerce + maths background), is converting BLACKI realistically possible? What percentile would I need to be competitive? Does my unconventional work experience help or hurt in interviews? Am I running away from my field, or is this a sensible pivot? Would really appreciate honest feedback, especially from people who converted top IIMs or had non-traditional backgrounds.
