All IIMs have different criteria (weightage to 10th, 12th, graduation, work experience, CAT score, gender). You can find the criteria for CAT 2016 in IIM websites. To increase the chance is to definitely score high in CAT. Also score well in the 4th year. Best wishes.

IIM Calcutta has only mentioned accepting GMAT score for admission into EMBA courses.

However, CAT is commonly accepted by other similar institutes for both MBA and MBAEx courses. Thus, candidates are advised to ask admission desk for confirmation on this question.

Is a score of 85% in CAT enough to secure MBA admission at IIM Calcutta?

It is not possible to determine a candidate's admission in IIM Calcutta MBA course through CAT score alone. In Stage 1, a score 85% in CAT will be enough for a general category candidate to be selected for PI+WAT admission stage.

Final admission cutoffs are based on many factors other than CAT score.
