Hello Ayush
This is definitely a myth that with 0 work-ex you can't get IIM ABC because freshers still get into them although the competition is brutal but if you have good academics (9/9/9) and a good CAT (99.5%+), you have a chance.
These are some other good colleges except IIM ABC which you can aim for:
TIER 1:
- IIM Lucknow
- IIM Kozhikode
- IIM Indore
- IIM Shillong
- FMS Delhi
- SPJIMR Mumbai
- MDI Gurgaon
- IIFT Delhi & Kolkata
Tier 2:
- NMIMS Mumbai
- SIBM Pune
- SCMHRD Pune
- IMT Ghaziabad
- XIM Bhubaneshwar
- GIM Goa
- TISS Mumbai
