IIM Calcutta asks for the CAT percentile which should be around 98.5+ to get a call for the interview. You should target to get above 98 percentile to get a call for GD and interview. Thank you. If there are further queries, you can always ask.

IIMB has reduced its weightage for CAT and looks at overall profile including X, XII, and graduation percentage. So it will depend on the college you are graduated from and your profile. If you are in gen. category, you'll at least need 98/99 percentile.
