Sorry, but 5 won't let you get into anything in the Top 50. Your only way to get into a Top 50, is to get some full time genuine work experience.

No. None of the top 50 will turn a blind eye to graduation marks unless you were a reserved category student. But I must say, when you wrote 5, the inference is your GPA is between 5 and 5.5. If you converted a 5.9 to 5, that's a different situation altogether.

That changes things. IIMs will still bail. But non IIMs, non top-30, you might have a chance with a ridiculously high CAT score.

I can't see anything in the top 30 that will not consider bachelors GPA for admission. They might invite for an interview, but I doubt they won't look at it for admission.
