Yes Shubham, you can get a call from these IIMs, if you score really well in CAT. Also, just for your information, not all IIMs consider your class 10th and class 12th marks.

You need to score really high in CAT to expect a call from IIM C. Call from IIM A/B would be difficult with your acads.

The only thing you have in your hands right now is CAT score, so just aim to ace it. Other things will sort themselves out, as a lot also depends on your peers sitting for the exam that year. And, the criteria changes year on year hence, nothing is set in stone there as well.

If you are fresher then it is a hard task to get into IIM-A and B. For C, you need to score a very high percentile.
