Close to 97%. But those who got through with 97% had a great profile and work experience. So the minimum target should be 99% actually, if you ask!
For the second part of the question, you do stand a chance if you score well in CAT. MBA is not just about marks, there are many other things taken into consideration, such as extra-curricular activities, communication skills, aptitude and knowledge.
