You seem to have sufficient score at your graduation exam. You now need to prepare well for CAT and try and achieve 98+ percentile score to get a call for PI, and then do well at the PI round as well to get admission.

Please mention your CAT/GMAT/GRE score. For admission in any of the IIMs you need to qualify CAT exam and score a 90+ percentile.

It totally depends on your CAT score. It should be more than 99% (percentile), and from your academic record, I can expect it from you.

Your 10th and 12th score is too good. You can easily score good percentile in CAT exams. Prepare for CAT and clear the exam with good marks. Then, no one can stop you to get admission in IIMs.
