Your academics are decent. Try to score 99+ percentile for top IIMs. For IIM try to score 99.5+ to be safe.

More the score, better are the opportunities. To get admission in top B-Schools like IIM-A, B, C above 98 percentile is needed. For B-school like IMT, LBS, IFMR, Great lakes, SP Jain above 85 percentile is a compatible score. All the best. Good Luck!!

CAT percentile is given the highest weightage. Although other marks have a weightage CAT carries a lot. The cutoff usually vary from year to year. Generally, it ranges from 85-90.
