Pre MBA career advice

Hi all.
I am working with PwC with the GUIDe team (govt. governance projects, policy and all) NOT PROPER BUSINESS/MANAGEMENT CONSULTING.
I am planning for MBA (CAT 21) and have resigned from PwC already to prepare. After CAT (Nov'21) I will have 6 months till I hopefully join a Bschool. I intent to utilise these 6-7 months in doing something relevant in proper mgmt. consulting. What options do I have?

I'd also love to interact with someone who could guide/mentor me. DM
