Ok, here's how it works. Blackstone, Goldman and KKR are not going to spend time on a kid from a Dubai-based university, when they have applicants from Harvard, LSE and Stanford gunning for jobs. Or people with 10 years of finance experience trying to break into associate roles. You're better off trying to gun for a Masters in Finance from a top university in Europe or the US or Asia (like the IIT/IIMs in India, or HKUST/NUS/NTU/Tsinghua).
Plus you have an 81% in high-school. Dunno what is CBSE, but anything below 90% in high-school equivalents is a goner. Not that it matters really. Hope this helps.
Oh
Do you work in Nusr'Et? That's the only place I know of where your life would be at steak.
For starters, try learning how to spell words - pitchbooks get ripped apart thanks to typos. Next, transferring is a good option. Nail the SAT, try giving the GMAT/GRE and nail that 4.0. I'm guessing you're either in Middlesex or Heriot-Watt, both of which are poor universities compared to their US/UK counterparts.
You good
Try for a transfer to Canada or the UK. And consider a student loan to pay for undergrad.

I interned in DIFC. DIFC has a hard-on for CFA guys and kids from top Western universities. I've seen very few people break in from non-target places.
