    Yes, you can get into IIMs. However old IIMs are going to be difficult, you can definitely aim for new and baby IIMs.
    You need to score high in CAT.
    You should also sit for other exams like IIFT XAT SNAP etc.

    Yes, chances are there but you must also present yourself in the best way. Score a percentile above 99 and perform well in GD-PI.

    Honestly, it's hard to say. Even with good background profile, one should get 99+ percentile in CAT to be able to get shortlisted for IIMs. The academic profile has a certain weightage in the selection process. It also depends on the number of applicants and their profiles. This is just to state the circumstances but I encourage you to get a good score and apply to all IIMs and top colleges in the country. If you get selected then you'll have to face GD and PI which has more weightage in your final shortlisting. Prepare well for them. also to be on safe side apply to a college that you are bound to get admission, you can take help from

Getting into the MBA programme of NIT Trichy with a 300 SC CAT rank is somewhat uncertain. As the recent data sets suggest, NIT Trichy's CAT cutoff for SC category admission stands around 65th percentile. A 300 SC rank could be borderline depending on how many SC candidates apply and the quality of the overall candidate pool.
In CAT marks terms, to reach around the 300 SC rank, you'd likely need a CAT percentile of 65–70, which roughly translates to a CAT score of about 60–65 out of 198, assuming the normalization and difficulty remain similar.
