Hi Ashish, it would be very difficult for you to get an interview call for either IIM A or IIM B, due to low percentage in PUC. However, you should try to score as high as you can in CAT and you might end up in top 7 IIMs or other top management colleges. All the best.

Your 12th score is too low to get a call from IIM A/B. However, you can consider colleges which do give less weightage to academics. Try to score as much as you can to increase your chances of a call.

Please refer to Shiksha call predictor to get a better idea about the CAT score needed. Although, I would hazard a guess and tell you that you will need to score abnormally high CAT percentile in the realms of 99.90 percentile as your scores are a bit on the lower side.
